Here's some work in progress from a personal project of mine that I just started...
I spent about 8 hours modeling the stuff on this page. (I took my time ;)

This is the Nurbs view of how it looked after a few hours of modeling with MetaNURBS

After seeing Taron's AMAZING work, I realized I needed to try out something less cartoony than my past stuff and try for some realism - of course, the realism won't come until I start to light and surface it. But here's the modeler previews anyway...

Here are the OpenGL and wireframe previews. (Nothing rendered yet - this is just the real-time modeler preview)

These modeler previews don't include the Eyes and the Tongue etc...
