here’s a character concept that i’m working on; the purpose is to convince a client (tulsa oktoberfest) that the company i work for can do 3D animation (well, can be done by ME ;)), and use this little guy as their new mascot/ad campaign.
i’m sort of going after the style of the dwarves in “happily n’ever after”. i’ll be texturing everything, and adding a few more clothing items (suspenders and such); here’s what i’ve got so far:

Bring me the beeeerrrrr…
looking good already, but don’t forget some important cliché features of a typical bavarian guy…
have a look here: http://www.gtev-chiemgauviertler-amerang.de/html/de_tracht.html
notice the hairy bush (Gamsbart) attached to the hat, the “wade socks” and the suspenders, of course 
There are also lots of variantions in the traditional dressings, depending on the region…
mmmm. beeeeerrrrrrr…
thanks, zapman 
i guess the design most closely matches that of the barefoot little boy, altho i’m going off of a mascot they already have. he’s just a big costume tho, so i wanted to make him look a little better 
ahh, I see… 
In this case your model looks much nicer than the real one! Good job!
err, and just for the record, the oktoberfest is supposed to look a bit more like this: http://www.fotos-online.de/previews/03/21/321722.jpg
Otherwise one could get the impression that there is no sun in Munich…
hey i just work here
man i’d love to go to an authentic german oktoberfest 
perhaps when i’m a bit older…
Huhuahuahua, here in Brazil we have the oktoberfest at city of Blumenau, http://www.manualdoturista.com.br/fotos/BRSCBlumenauOktoberfest.jpg.
They drink, drink, drink…
