I had created one of these a while ago but when I lost all of my projects I lost the original version of this one. I thought I'd give it another go and this is what I came up with. Enjoy :D. I may try texturing this model at some point, but it won't be fancy as A; I still haven't gotten around to teaching myself the advanced stuff, and B; my computer simply can't handle the fancier textures.

However, stress aside, I've recently got away to the bach for a couple of days with my wife and done a lot of drawing. This really helped to clear my head and provided a much needed break from 3D modeling. When we got back, I figured out my problems (encountered some more but promptly solved them) which netted this result:  I've been experimenting with texturing (importing skins mostly) and have finally got a handle on it (thanks to some great tuts on youtube) and also with lighting, both of which I'm really enjoying on top of the modeling process itself. I'm also getting used to deleting my work history as I go, it makes my channel box so  much tidier, but also commits me to the current design, which is refreshing (it stops me from g...
