the texturing is spot on as well as modelling. neat textures from what we can see. very well done mate.

I'm not familiar with any GTA characters but this guy looks awesome, keep up the good work.

**off topic**

Am I the only one who hasn't played any of the GTA games? I guess with all the real life car jacking and pimping I don't feel the need to play a game about it!!

Armanguy is right he does look more middle eastern! Here's my problem: Rockstar has one of the most well known and popular game franchises EVER with GTA, and for you to try and recreate their latest main character is a bit foolish.. its never going to be right

HOWEVER, if you had said "here is a middle eastern guy" then I think it would be a lot better received. You are obviously a good character modeller, and its a great piece, but maybe you should stop calling him Niko.

Lol, i like him, i agree with what Dime said though. My main crit is his eyes, they appear as if they are looking in two different directions (outwards perhaps) so may want to take a look and if you agree have a fiddle with them. Also his shoes seem way to shiney, it looks like they are supposed to be leather loafers perhaps, but the specular is so much that it almost looks like its part of the texture. Finally just a small one, but the ends of his shoes seem too sloping, i think they could look better if they were more "stubby" if you know what i mean.

Anyways, if he's done in your mind then he's done, but i think if you have a look at these minor points it could improve him a little

Good luck!
