#1 Two observations.

1. I think you are using way to many polys.
2. Without a texture map, no body can help you.

I suggests you first get the model to look just like you want it to and later create the texture map so that you or someone else can texture it.

#2 You can't just plaster a texture on him. First he needs unwrapping or at least some means of reference to put the textures in place. Otherwise, you're just dropping an image in a confused location. I'd recommend taking a look at setting up seams and using the UV unwrapping tools inside of Blender. They're wonderfully easy to use and powerful in how much they can help you.

Looking good!

#3 I just read BigPapa's post. I agree on the poly count. So far you're at about 7300 polys. You need to cut that down by 1/3 for the final version if you intend on it working well inside of TGE.

#4 thanks for the comments. when i rendered it, i used that subsurf button to make it look smoother, but i guess that adds on the polys

#5 A better idea for smoothing would be to ensure all the normals are facing outside and hit the Set Smooth button.
