most of my questions are too small, and embarrasing to post here =P anywho, i've just been playing around with 3dsmax animations, just simple things like refracting water droplets (using the noise modifier)
i dont suppose someone could point me towards some character modelling tutorials?

There are no such things like small and embarrassing questions.
I cannot post links so check the 3d tutorials section in the resources menu.
There are many character 3d modeling tutorials.

Here is a nice 3d modeling tutorial:

And as dTb wrote the questions about refracting water droplets are exactly the type of questions that can be asked here

no, that wasnt a question, its just an example of some of the simple animations i've created, thanks for the link, will take a look

quick question, how can i texture an eyeball quickly?

Quickly... hm..
Create a procedural gradient and map it with cylindrical mapping on a sphere.
That's the quickest way.

Nice start.. are you aiming for an alien look...
I mean do you need critique regarding the anatomy?
I would model the lower eye lid. With lower eye lid it is easier to show an emotion...
