Thanks for the comments. Here's a closer up render...not much is new with the model.
Mr. Jage: No I didn't....I was looking at it and it SEEMS like their method only makes the blade look good from one angle? I could be wrong.... Anyway, I made this just by messing around with ambience, falloff, and glow. I'm not completely happy with it, but I can always mess with the final image in Photoshop.

I took a short break to make this. Still a lot of work to do, and I really haven't done any textures yet, just slapped a metal texture on it.

Riskmandel: I use a custom light setup that I made. It basically has 5 spotlights in it, one from each side and one from the top. If they all focus at 1 spot, you get what my renders look like. For the black background, I just made a very large white ground plane. As the plane gets further away from the lights, it gets darker, then I have a black camera background that it fades into. I hope that makes sense...ask any questions if you have them.

Thanks for the suggestions! I haven't done anything about it yet, but eventually the brain and letters ARE going to light up like light bulbs when they start to float.

Update. Still a few tweaks to do. Including the rope.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm really looking forward to finishing rigging this and moving on to set building and animation.
EDIT: I fixed the problem..thanks to anybody that looked at it.

Thanks for the comments and ideas. I can't put pants on him unfortunately, because at the end of the animation he needs to be just a brain, so I don't want to have too much dissapear (I already have to get rid of the arms and legs somehow)
Update on texturing...I'll be working on the set soon.
-
Thanks for the comments so far.
I'm realizing now how plain the arms and legs are. Any suggestions to spice up the textures?

I'm making a logo animation for a company. Their logo includes a brain, so the animation is going to be centered around a brain mascot character. This is what I have so far.

Lots left to do...I'm not happy with the feet, and I still need to optimize it.
-
Thanks for the suggestions nf1nk. When I get around to optimizing I might do that.
-
Update. Still lots of tweaking on the parts I've done, as well as a lot more modeling to do.

Worked a bit more on the helmet. I did some subtle changes to the mesh, as well as started on textures. These textures are more just laying out the color than anything else. I hope to make the final version look dirty and worn.
