Chewbacca rocks. 'Nuf said.

"I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen. I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number. I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of bag, but no bag went over me. I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ring-winner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit , Ch. 1 An old ( circa 90's) 3D model and render I did of Bilbo Baggins from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. I can't remember what softwar this was, probably Poser forthe base and add-ons modelled in Raydream.
