Weekend Low poly adventure

So between, new job, new school, new baby, new musical out look,etc....... I have been feeling like art has taken the back burner. So this weekend I intend to try a quick easy low polygon character. It's inspired by the path of 8 challenge on GameArtisans but I am already past the deadline so it will be just for fun. Here is the initial concept doodle from work...going for a hand painted textures chibish style....
