Here he is 16k polys  now that all the parts are there I can really mess with the mesh. He looks clean, not on my watch! I plan to make his robes ragged and more ornate

 

I want his robes to be ethereal yet wispy a kin to our friend Gravelord Nito

I tore his model apart ingame very basic  simple mesh with a particle emitter engulfing it. Though li will not be going about that way its good visual reference.
