TaurinV4 Low Poly Model

So, I'm moving along nicely with my Taurin character rework.  In a previous post, I showed off the high resolution Zbrush sculpt.  And while a 13.7 million polygon mesh is great for detail, ...

Taurin Rework Zbrush Sculpt

Taurin v4 re-work Work in Progress

Anyway, this hasn't seen the...
