made the hands flush with the arms so it looks less unsettling
The only thing I'd suggest to make it perfect is to make the forearms a bit thinner to reduce the "popeye" look.
For example let's take a look at the beta blockhead model
The entire arm is thinner than the hand.
Also, this is by far the best character model for this game period, I see a lot of animation possibilites for it, even turning it into a ragdoll would be pretty cool, would you mind if I recreate the model just to work on some clothing concepts to see how it could look?
