I love him! :o) I am amazed at the versitility of these metaballs. One thing I'm curious about is the scale that everyone is working on to get the effects they are. I tried to make toes on my mouse's forefeet but they kept blurring together into a lump. I finally settled for doing without. The second image you posted looks like the character is teeny. If he is, did you make him big first, then rescale him?
