really kewl stuff... 
dvlenk, I like the textures, especially in the first render.  The modeling is very good. 
Dann, nice job.. I saw your renders on the other site, very cute.  I started the snow kid a couple days ago and like you, I opted for the cartoonish bigger eyes too... but I don't know if I'll have time to finish.  So far all I've done is the head with the hat, and the face is still very basic.  Did you model him from one cube, or from a few?

well here's my little update after a lotta tweaking... working on the rigging part of it now-a-days.
This was just a quick thing right after smooth skinning, the shoulders wigged out so the arms couldn't reach some poses.
