This is a game character I created for the Game Artisans Wii Challenge. Without "weapons" she's at almost exactly 5k polygons, with a 512x512 for diffuse, specular and normal each. The brief was to create a character that could be a good lead character for a brand new Wii title.
The intent of this character is that her gauntlets work similarly to the Green Lantern's ring in that she could project solid holograms into any shape she could think of, to use as attacks, defense, or even to help her move about the environment.
In the game, normal character control would be with the thumbstick and buttons, and the controls for gauntlets would be gesture-based.
