Intermediate 3D Modeling

This is my first character model. He is based off of a random drawing I did about 5 years ago. It was sort of difficult to imagine what he might look like from the side or back.

His name is Laremy. He was one of God's early prototypes for the first man, but he didn't quite work out. God felt sorry for him and gave him different odd jobs up in heaven, including guardian angel. Unfortunately, he just wasn't cut out for that type of work. To be continued...
