So far, its just me. It's going to take a great deal of time, but I think I can do it. I like making these models. It's like having fun with legos in a more advance way. Kinda brings the kid out of me.
I also usually make my own mission layouts and my own textures for the terrain of the mission maps.
Yes, he does have a nose. I'm trying to go by the map that came with Fantastic Dizzy. I think it'll be a bit of fun. The only tedious part might be is to try to make custom motions for these characters (if only there was a motion capturing tool for Thief 2...). So yeah, quite a project indeed.
