I made another goo-ey thing.

Looks a bit like Rubber Johnny, Pen! Only less human-like.

Also, fantastic low-poly work, Anna

Awesome!  I'm loving this thread.

I guess that counts.

The lighting is all wrong... you probably used a point light, when you should've used a spherical volume light.

I used a "PointLight3D". Haven't ever used Papervision3D before.

I'd color it, but I'm still trying to get better at shading so I can work faster.  I'll color when I've got more of them done.  This is for a fantasy/sci-fi Tactical RPG.  I've got like 30 or so to make.  I can do the models at a decent rate, but texturing takes me forever.  This one took three days...  about half a day for the model and a couple days worth of fighting with the texture...

[Synnah]

That's fantastic!

[thaaks]

Indeed! That's exactly what I would love to learn! Modeling and texturing like this in Blender...

Great stuff, Squiggly_P. And the shading already looks pretty good IMHO. But I'm just a noob regarding 3D modeling

My first character model

[Pishtaco]

My first model, a Gloster Meteor made in Wings3d, for the cockpit competition.

The placeholder I was using before was seven white cubes stuck together. A was aiming for something similarly lo-fi, but this has come out more complicated than I expected.

Edit: Yikes, I just exported this and loaded it, and it came out all smoothed. Is there anyway to get wings to export things directly as flat-shaded?

Nice!  I really like some of your modeling, but in honesty I'm not a huge fan of your style.  Your heads and eyes are what always get to me.  It's not like they're bad, I just don't really like the consistent "peanut" shape.  I think if you added a little more variety to your heads (square chins, less rounded shape) then your design would be much more effective.  The eyes have the same problem.  The three white circles in all of your work just doesn't allow for as much variety and texture.  The eyelids are also a problem for me.  It just seems too cartoony imo.  If that's what you're going for, that's fine, but I just think they could use improvement.  Maybe if you got rid of the eyelids and just added eyebrows it would be less overwhelming and allow for more flexibility and expression.

Sorry if I'm discouraging you.  Again, I really like the rest of the model.

Hey, that's a pretty awesome model!

"Flatshadedness" is not a property of a model usually, unless each polygon has its own set of vertices. I don't know how you're exporting it or what you're exporting it into, but generally, to get the flat-shaded look, you need to use the face normals when you render. If you use the vertex normals, unless the faces are all separated, it will always look smooth.
