Only recently started on 3D and this is my first foray into texturing...took way, way longer than I'd have thought...  Reminds me of pokemon for some reason. Looks very nice and quaint. :D |

My first real at doing character modelling. He's the main character from my graduation film idea. Just have to UV him, and learn how to rig him.   |

^ Nice work thus far, could you show the wires? To me he is a little too boxy, maybe work on smoothing him out a little. The anatomy on the arm (especially the shoulder/underarm area) looks quite strange to me also, if you aren't already I suggest using some reference to work with it. Keep up the work, look forward to seeing what you do with him.   Only recently started on 3D and this is my first foray into texturing...took way, way longer than I'd have thought... Cool work, nice simplistic style. And yeah texturing can easily take a lot longer then you think it might.  |

Looks something like Schnitzel from Chowder (a Cartoon Network), particularly the arms. Maybe you could use a screenshot of him as a reference.
I think the rope around his waist doesn't dig deeply into his shorts enough - the top should flop out more, or the rope should go in and out of the shorts.
Anyway, it looks cool - what exactly is he? Is this for a game?

@Halcyon, Here's the wireframe, it's quite annoying not matter what I do, I can't seem to smooth him out... I think i might just take him into Zbrush to smooth him out possibly. Also now you mention it, the anatomy on the shoulder is off... problem is that I do want him kinda cartoony but I might actually tweak that so it merged more off with his torso so that he works anatomically. Thanks for the advice!  @SolarLune, He's for my 3rd year Graduation film idea. I haven't seen Chowder before but i'll have a look at him. Also with the clothes, I'm planning on having a look at dynamics to make them more cloth like plus i'm not 100% on the rope so it might be subject to change. Thanks though! |

Thanks y'all @Ishi Yeah, I originally did have a drain on it actually! But I took it out because it mucked up the UV and, only being a beginner, I couldn't work out how to sort it  @gamegeek Triangles! Looking good though. I'd inflate his upper chest slightly as it looks a bit sunk. |

@Aqua, I've just discovered my biggest problem isn't the triangles but is actually the fact that I've managed to make about 200 faces with 5 sides on them somehow D':

No, he's saying triangles are good. Your model is entirely quads in areas where it doesn't need to be. If you're using blender, then ctrl+T and alt+J will triagulate your mesh and then convert as many faces as it thinks make sense back into quads. Doesn't look like it though  |

I find that confusing... as I've always been told that I need to ensure I use Quads as much as possible, from my tutors and tutorials online and magazines and to try and stay away from triangles (also I'm using Maya).

The first screenshots make it look like there's subdivision applied, in which case quads are generally "better" (allowing the use of edge loops, subdividing more uniformly and predictably) and you would only want to use triangles where their side effects (pinching and such) are the intended result or not visible.

This was super sweet, really clean design and nice colors. The only thing I reacted to was that the light effect in the window is turned the other way then on the other windows  |

Aah Errik I hadn't noticed that! Ugh, that's gonna bug me now... @Geti Yeah, like Biomechanic pointed out I wasn't saying the triangles were necessarily bad but that there are non-concealed triangles that could cause pinching when rendered. |

Ah, I see, I see. I generally don't do subd work so I'm not up to par with the nuances of it. Apologies for the bogus advice  |

Only recently started on 3D and this is my first foray into texturing...took way, way longer than I'd have thought... That is incredibly inspiring. Now I want to head home and get to work on some models of my own. very nice and clean. |
