Character Attempt #1

So I'm working on this game with my other half - the art aspect of course - and it has come time to start making the 3d game character. I haven't taken a single class in 3d art yet in college. So far I've been learning about 2d art and animation. Needless to say I need to work on this a bit more and self teach a little better! Anyways, here is the character I came up with. It's supposed to be a werewolf (if you can't tell).

This was done in 3ds Max. I've been wanting to try Maya and the sort but as far as I can tell by research, it seems like 3ds Max is the best for game art.
