So I found this old dusty blog in Grandpa's attic!

Here's a shot of a little viking character I've been working on. It's based on a concept from a Disney artist named Corey Loftis, who makes amazing characters.
This is a render from Mental Ray, no Photoshop yet, but truthfully I should be using a game engine like Marmoset to render it anyway as it is a game mesh.

I wasn't attempting to get the pose, but was required to keep him in an "A" shape for production. Kinda squashed him a bit in the process. My version looks like he just stepped off the shuttle to Jupiter.
