This started with some good contructive critics so lets try to keep with that, if you don't like something don't just go raging all over the forum, i'm sure that dock wants what is best for everbody.
Seriously, Dock is a good artist, but you can immediately see his work is mostly anime based. I don't like anime pretty much and I would hate to have Minecraft like it.
Hi pubby8. I appreciate you taking time out to research my artwork, but I should inform you that those pieces of artwork are 6-8 years old. My 'about me' section was written back in 2002, I have neglected to update it. Nothing there has anything to do with minecraft at all, so I don't think it's relevant.
I ensure the community that the new characters will be easy to customise.
Seriously I'm going to post a pic tomorrow, just to define your awesomeness again. I have the froggirl somewhere in one of my "how to draw cartoons etc." books.

Now I can respect criticism and opinions, but when you begin to act hostile against someone, ESPECIALLY a new member, I will not hesitate to warn you, and if it keeps on, a temporary ban. Dock is our new artist, and he is listening -intently- on what to do, and what style to decide on. The only things he's actually done right now are concepts, and yet you're going overboard, referring to work that he's done that's over 8 years old. 8 years old! Stuff happens in 8 years.
This is the last time I'll repeat it. Stop flat-out treating Dock as the worst thing that ever came on to the forums (and you know who you are). He is a new member, just like the rest of us. You don't like his work? Talk about it with him. E-mail him. Hell, -help- him, since he's new here. Don't do posts that insult him, because I will be watching, and I will not hesitate to deliver temporary bans.
Also:
1. It's a ***** to skin complex 3d models like that
2. It doesn't fit with the blocky/pixel theme
It's just a concept, and it may or may not be that way when it's done. Notch assured everyone that customizing will still be in an easy way. Please research more before you criticize. Treating Dock like the coming of the Anti-Christ will not bode you well.
My models are both 8blx tall, and 10blx wide (that includes 1blx for each ear) the one with the hat has 9blx depth, as the cap takes an additional 1blk.
I would like to say that nothing definitive has been released regarding the player models. Frog girl is likely just a test and placeholder, like our current models. I do hope that whatever Notch approves of, it will hopefully go for it's own style and not try to be anything in particular. I'm sure Notch will know better than to add models that don't fit the game. If you don't approve of what art style he wants, then this isn't the game for you.
Or, you know, client-side modifications to make it less anime-styled.
Zuriki's mod looks nice, but too simple. I understand that people like the blockiness of the environment, but I don't see why the characters have to be limited to such low res. I find it tricky to personalize an 10 by 10 pixel face, and while I enjoy the current challenge within the limits, I would prefer freedom. The customization options in Zuriki's model are barely above the current options. Why change if everything stays the same?
So help me God, dearly I hope not.

Sorta a mix between new and old?
I hope there won't be a height difference between the two.

+1 on the zuriki design if it had the chinawars texture.
The what?
Or, you know, client-side modifications to make it less anime-styled.
My idea on how I think it should look.
I had many ideas, ranging from people with musical note shaped headphones to old-timey gentlemen, but they didn't fit with Minecraft's theme.
