Quick Model - Toolau

After having no internet and no personal computer for a week (moving -- it was all packed), I sat down this afternoon and impulsively started a new model I knew would be quick, easy, and fun. The end result is this doll character named Toolau.
A bit of history about him: Toolau is a character from an old online role-play. He was created by the user "Horn", and was a magical voodoo doll whose origins are never fully explained. He follows around a euro-medieval ninja with the unenviable name of Chyaltze. Toolau is basically your typical wise-cracking sidekick, and becomes the object of affection for another bizarre character early-on. Nobody in the story really finds him unusual or odd, which begs the question: just how many magical talking dolls are walking around?

Took all of 3 hours to make. Despite the simplicity, he pretty much looks exactly as he should. I will likely end up rigging this one since his rig will be similarly simple (no fingers to manage!) and fun to play around with.
