here’s a redfox I’ve done for Java Classic RPG
It’s going to be updated with better layout for animation. I have a problem though when rendering it with blender (internal and yafray) - the polygons looks very weirdly put…

ohhh darn that is low poly. how many? 10, 20?
uhh… no, 173. 
You should post a screengrab of your model in edit mode, so we can see the wireframe. I imagine that’s where the problem lies.
I think the overall shape looks very good. U are doing this with subsurf on?I think the mesh just needs some cleaning up.
Do give suggestions on cleaning up 
And I posted a link to the .blend file in my first post, didnt it work? Anyway here’s some screens… I checked and recalculated the normals, so it’s not there appearently…
This may be just me but I think this would look better cell shaded. also that would fix the render problem. oh and yes your link to the .blend didn’t work.
I just looked at this guide: http://feeblemind.tuxfamily.org/dotclear/index.php/2007/08/13/88-how-to-solve-blenders-smoothing-problems
And I couldn’t find anything causing the mis-shading…
here’s a new link to the .blend file:

dont you just hate the shadows!?!?! i do
Did you try recalculating your normals?? I have seen Blender do funny things like that, and I just did that and it seemed to do the trick.
If you texture with UV and make a bumpmap these so called “shadows” will dissapear. If you turn down your to spec = 0 they will also dissapear. The only other fix for this is to try and keep your angles between faces lower than 45 degrees. Otherwise it will be sharp and cast a sharp shadow.
select all in edit mode, then hit remove dubbles. go onto uv face mode, any bacwords normals will show up as a hole
Since it’s for a game, I suppose those tris are ok?
There is no problem with tris actually. But I only use tris where I want a pointy or sharp edge since it can be a problem if want to add loops and keep control of the mesh in sculpt mode. Otherwise I wouldn’t recommend having a tris if there is no reason for it.
