My first 3d-character

Today Im not going to paint anything.. but I finished my first 3d-character for my game.. or lets say this was practice made with blender 2.6.

I was fine with the result but then after while I started to think it looks too much like Minecraft.
My idea was for the game to have boxes because I have no idea about animation.... Go easier with everything and still have nice and funny feel... maybe exact what Minecraft makers did?

So maybe I will still sketch more about my character and make it more unique.
