I started to experiment with character meshes for a while now and came up with this guy:
I frankensteined him from a base character that i somewhat heavily reworked to fit the body scheme i had in mind (from hero chest to beer belly),severed the head and set up one i made from scratch in SketchUp, added some detail to the mesh here and there and then handpainted him in Blacksmith3D paint (awesome paint programme btw, I'm loving it). Then i build him a skeleton and made a quick test animation i put on youtube....Tell me what you think!

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise.
