Having some kind of raptor-like player model seems like a very good idea to me. But it would require totally different animations, as the tail would have a balancing function since the torso is a bit bent forward. I don't know if it's possible to squeeze something like that into the hitbox, though. The movement style of a raptor would very well fit to the bunny hopping though. Raptors move like they'd bunnyhop all the time anyway. And I'd love to see a raptor jumping around the corner at you and slap you right in the face with a big shotgun!
BTW the tail would need to be bent the other way ;o)
Oh, I just realized you'll most probably be wanting to make playermodel that's equipped like the concept art you linked to but that is actually a fox. In that case the animations would be different of course. But still the tail should be animated in some way. The head armor will need some refinement, I suggest to leave the ears blank (sticking out of the helmet) and to emphasize the helmet aspect a bit more. Currently it looks more like a mask. I like the breast armor plates.
Nice that you find time again to add things to this game!
Edit: When reading your post here http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php...7#pid19887 I noticed you don't want it to be a fox after all. Hmm, I think then the tail indeed needs to be bent the other way. If it is a lizard or dragon. Or a raptor
