StarKid: Character Development 1: A quick "Frankenstein" character - Star Kid

Over the Christmas holidays I'd like to quickly get a character modeled, rigged, animated and put in game. If I focus, this could be done within a week. The other day I "Frankenstein'd" a character. I'm no character designer, so I'm not going to waste time on proper character design studies, drawing concept art etc. I'll leave that to people talented in those fields.

I've taken aspects of different characters I like. I took heads, body types, and features from other characters, modeled them and stuck them together to form the shape of a platforming hero.

Star Kid has a star shaped head, a small round body, trademark mascot character gloves and shoes and a crystal wedged into his back. (The crystal will change colour depending on Star Kid's current health)

Here he is at the moment, done in about 2 hours, over Christmas I'll mess around with his design a little more before finalizing him, right now he looks...too much like Sonic. I'll show whatever changes I make on my blog.
