12 hours modeling ? it's seems a way to much for a low model character. which modeler are you using ? this kind of character can be done in less than eight hours ( it will depend of you skill) but 12 hours I don't understand. The skin is nice and 10 hours seems more than realistic.
even if animation it's not easy ( i never said that) its easier to learn than organic modeling. 200 buck is cheap but seems fair.
