Im writing this for the second time coz i think i stuffed the first one. Anyway, I was gonna model this guy but it seemed to hard so i left him as a concept. Originaly drawn with ink and wash then colored in photoshop. It is an old image but still my favourite, let me know what you think. cheers.

Frickken awesome! [:O]
Lightings great! love the helmet design too. The only glitch that sticks out to me is that his empty arms shoulder looks lifted to high - when I strike a similar pose, it feels quite uncomfortable, non-natural. Then again im not made of steel pipes and hydraulics so i doubt he cares much about that kind of thing [;)]
Overall I'ts a nice piece dude.
Thanks for the comments.
conundrum: Yep, I think that would be a good idea now. I did this one about a year ago and making
Backgrounds was still a little perplexing for me. Nowdays I try to blend the subject
matter and background a bit more.
Hazard: I see what you mean. I think that happened because I was trying to give it a
perspective look.
great work, the textured style and harsh lighting really suit the subject matter. one stylistic detail that i think would fit in well is blending in parts of the character into the backround, just a little bit of smoke or glow to mix the two. right now it looks slightly cutout. of course that being really picky, its a brilliant drawing and ill be look forward to more.
