It's about character.
Character modeling has never been a skill I really possessed. It is the part that has killed almost every personal project I have worked on. I wanted Warriors of the Shining Star, the name of the game I’m working on, to be semi realistic. Due to the aforementioned inability to create characters that is impossible.

I have decided to go with spheres (and other simple shapes) for all of my characters. While it is not the look I wanted it is a look that will provide a certain amount of characterand style to the game. Here is a sort of sample of what I’m talking about, the Warrior class:

It's better than anything I could do :)
I like it, it was a fun stylistic feel to it.
I know how you feel though. While I'm ok at modeling I could never pull off something realistic. Luckily we can do a lot of cool things with lighting and shader effects now that give a level of polish to even the most obvious 'programmer art'.
