Your technique is confident and the sketch is unified and direct as a result.<br /><br />Your shapes and volumes are well designed and make the figure believable. The next step would be to think about material break-up, rather than using the same shiny brass rendering technique all over. Some parts might be steel, matte rubber, exposed wires, hinges, fittings clasps etc.. <br /><br />Also, the way he's holding the gun is passive and relaxed, rotating it up would have a more agressive/alert feeling depending on what you're going for.<br /><br />Did a quick po to demonstrate - http://i.imgur.com/uSweK.jpgDannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823809235489474615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643676355959968920.post-3664439269491420972011-12-11T02:29:41.400-06:002011-12-11T02:29:41.400-06:00The look of the metal is really quite nice on the ...The look of the metal is really quite nice on the helmet etc.<br /><br />The one thing I might re-examine is the relationship between the legs. <br />As it stands, they look like they are on the same plane. <br />I see you have some back lighting happening, maybe a bit more of that could help push the right leg back. <br />It might also help to twist the upstage foot more inward. That way the arch of the foot shows you it's definitely the right one.<br />Another great way to differentiate between the legs is to make the outer part more detailed or more heavily armored than the inside (most real armor is like that.).<br /><br />Keep it up.
