You might contact Geralday. He uses Anim8tor but he might have some general tips on low-poly modeling a figure. Also, I know he does requests. If you're not keen on tackling it yourself, he might do something for you very inexpensively. I saw the same tute Steerpike gave but I could only find the French version. It looks about as simple as you're going to get. Of course, I'd have problems getting the initial cube so youe mileage may vary :-)
