Well, I personally dislike blender internal. It is possible to get the same results that you get with cycles, but it's much harder. Once I found out about cycles about 18 months ago I never used blender internal again.
So basically, I have no idea how to recreate the same materials and ligthing that you see here with blender internal.
I just love those characters... XD Plan to use them in a game. May I?
I like the look of it I just don't like cycles could you make it in blender render?
