Erm, Sue in that render looks sorta like the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. o.o

Like the others said, needs more definition. Avoid so much cell smoothing. It's making everything look a little... Pillow-like in definition.
I thought it kinda suited her..
I mean, she's a humanoid rabbit.....

Ergh...I'ma feel uncomfortable talking about this...but...
The breasts on the Curly you've made are actually bigger than in any of the original artworks, or even any fan-made ones...{'Cept for a few, which I look down upon >.>;}
Well, if you look at these illustrations made by pixel himself, they're not small, but not big either. Are they really that big on my model? :D

I'm really not a fan of the usual exaggerated style myself.

Yep yep. I forgot to mention she's gonna get a fur. That will take care of the smooth look.

NO...no... Of course not. Who would ever have dark thoughts about her?

I'll be making tentacles next.

Hmmm....
*Looks back at the original artwork*
Looks like it could be a bit rounder and slightly flatter....
Cheekbones kinda stick out to me XD
Also, I noticed the hair...
Do ya think it would look better or not if it was one solid mass, like in the artwork?
Sorry if this is all a bit negative XD but Curly needs to look perfect :D

Mmh, I was actually going over her face just now. Something is off, and the cheekbones are definitely a part of it. It's also a bit dodgy around her mouth.

Don't worry about sounding negative as long as you are constructive as well. :D

I agree, the hair doesn't look too good. Sausage-hair isn't awesome. Will try making it a solid mass the next time I sit down and work on her.


EDIT: A small injection of personality helps a bit.

EDIT2: And a small update on Curly.

New, more accurate colors, taken from the in-game sprite.

Made big changes to her torso. Hooray.

Your Sue model is climbing the good side of the uncanny valley, but it's still kind of weird to look at. The ears definitely need to be bigger, and stick out at the base. Plus she looks bald and male. I can't recommend any way to fix that, sorry.

She'll be getting fur when/if I can figure out how to work the hair particle system in Blender. It doesn't really want to cooperate.

Longer ears incoming.

Also, she will hopefully be getting eyelashes or something that will make her look a lot more female than she does now.

Appreciate the comments. :D

Needs more Balrog

Those are pretty neat, but there is an edit button.
It's located right next to the quote button of any one of your posts. {If you're logged in}

Anyways, wonder where Volant went....
Had my hopes up for him....

OMG: According to Volant's profile, his last recent activity was "September 1st, 2009 05:55 PM"

EDIT: Someone should make a 3d model of the skeletal...skull...things that appear in the sand zone:
