A work in progress shot of a commission for

I actually started this from scratch tonight. The old leg model I was working on was originally intended to be made in parts, and assembled in SL as a static combination of mesh objects, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
So now here we are with this mesh, which I intend to rig to the SL skeleton, so that the mesh can deform along with the avatars movements. This will be my first attempt at rigging mesh, but I've been doing my homework on the topic, and I'm confident in my ability to get this working!
As always, I'm open to tips or suggestions! I'm self teaching, so I may miss some important things!

I think one of the biggest things to consider is the toes. As you have them modeled now, they appear as they would if the foot was up in the air or the character was laying down. Spread the toes out a little to give the appearance of weight shifting them apart so that they can balance said weight and it should be good to go. Otherwise, this is a fantastic model. Love the colors on it too.
Thanks ^^
I was actually thinking the same thing a moment ago, I'll have to figure out a way to make them appear more spread, that will probably just need lots of sculpting work.
