Thanks. I'll be sure to check it out.

I finished rigging the model and adding the materials and such. Also created a scene for it. I've figured out what's been causeing the Grainess in the render. But now something is preventing the program from rendering. Just gives a black image. It's weird but I have a few ideas to try. Hopfully one will work.
 In the mean time here's a close up of the model frrom my posted image (see Blender gallery). try to ignore the lack of detail in the eye. It's been fixed as has the pencil. Oh and the paper has the original doodles of the character on it. ^_^
