As a follow-up to the skull I did a while back, I thought I'd try the rest of the body.

Here is a WIP shot of the skeleton. I'm getting worried that the poly count is a little high (at about 1000 polys, 1000 pts now). I think the rib cage will add quite a lot to that too.

Great start. I shouldn't worry about the poly count as 1000 is still pretty low poly. The Predator mask I started is over 10,000 and only just over a meg.
Some work may be needed as groups of bones e.g the legs look like they are one solid bone instead of several individual bones joined together to make up a leg.
There's no mistaking what your model is though. Nice work

hehe 1000 poly is what I eat for breakfast ^^. Don't worry about the a polycount of 1000, i have had projects with 1,000,000 poly's. That will make your computer super slow. As long you stay under the 10,000 poly's almost any computer will handle it. Might lagg a bit, but it will handle it.

Your model i coming along good, low poly and still pretty detailed. My only crit are the feets. They look weird. There to small and look like the feet of a bird or something.

Take a look at these images for references:

The skeleton is looking pretty good so far. The legs might need a little work as they seem to go in towards each other to much at the knee if you are trying to make a human skeleton but good progress so far.

I don't mean to criticise, its just a little help to make your work better. I have to say that it is great as I could not make anything like that and I have tried several times. But I suppose I need to keep trying to get better.

that's sooo creepy! especially the front view, the way it's just standing there staring straight at you.    if i have nightmares tonight, i'll blame you for it!

just kidding...

seriously though, good start.  the only major crit i'd make is that the lower leg (and the forearm, when you get to that part) should have 2 thinner bones running in parallel, rather than one thicker one.

I agree about the chunky leg: my logic was it might not be noticable, and if I did a good job on the texture it should be good enough. In the side view the thickness should be about right.

Anyway, as with all my models, I try to be extremely economical with polys, and the leg was just one of those choices. Looking back, I probably made the wrong choice - with the forearm I will use 2 bones with a 'real' gap between them. I realise in the big scheme of things 1000 polys isn't too bad, but my end goal is always a game of some kind, and for a low level monster, 1000 polys seems like a bit much (since it is reasonable to have 10 skeletons on the screen, depending on the game).
