At the moment it looks like its probably set up for box modelling - there's an excellent tutorial with regard to this over at the Newtek website which shouldn't be too difficult to follow. Since the body is fairly basic, I don't think you should need to do much with the head

Looks good, Koots - unfortunately I can't really say what sort of problems you're likely to run into with the whole endomorphs thing since I've never used them myself. Nice to see you managed to get the head detailed up though.

I think the chest still needs a bit of work - the pectoral muscles should slope upward into the collarbones - at the moment they look a bit flat on the front. From this angle the belly area is looking a bit small as well plus he seems to be suffering slightly from the old "bump going up the middle of the forehead" syndrome.

Coming along nicely though.

Getting better - the feet are looking a bit weird at the moment - I think they're too flat and the knees are sticking out too far. Again, there is some work to do on the chest but that's a real sticky point so I won't keep bugging you about it

Overall, from the humble beginnings of the first post, this is coming along really well.
