This is a Lego Wizard, made as a Torchlight mod; the mod allows you to obtain this character as your pet. The mod can be downloaded here.
The screenshots here display the modeling and texturing, plus relevant info; however, it is worth mentioning that I also did the rigging and animation for the wizard.
Getting the animations to work in Torchlight was quite a challenge, as the game and its editor was designed around a 3DS Max-based pipeline, and I am using Maya. However, after working at it and getting a better understanding of how rigs and animations work in the Ogre engine, I was finally able to overcome those hurdles and get these things to work right. Hopefully, this means I can now make more complicated characters, creatures, etc. for future mods for TL and TL2.
The textures around the beard and buckle on the hat look a little muddy (I know you have a pretty small texture on it, but yeah). I would consider consolidating some of that beard, as you mentioned, it's a little poly heavy.
I don't mean to sound so negative, since it does look pretty nice overall. Just thought I would give some thoughts to improve it.
