    Nice control of value and clean brushwork.

    Your structure is solid but their is no life in this pose. It needs more rhythm! Even if it is a robot.

    (Good job subduing Regal in the back ground as well.)

    Ignore the above.

    I agree with Urantia. It looks like his right arm should be pulled back a little more, so it's a it more behind his head. Also, and this may just be personal preference, I'd say open up his left hand instead of a fist. If he's just walking, there's no reason he's have it clenched.

    Either way, it looks pretty awesome. I love the lighting.

    I had the right further back and around, but i found the angles clashing, the left originally had a flashlight which i played around with, im signing off on it though, now everything on it annoys me, that gun needs reference, the chest needs re proportioning, and that bloody right arm :P

    Ungh, sorry I deleted that paintover, it was done on a crap monitor and I only just realised how much of a fail it was.

    Anyway, the forearm definately needs shortening, and maybe a little rotation forward.

    I like the contrast of detail between the head and the background. Well done.
