I think the point that people are trying to make is that you have to realize - regardless of your intentions, influences, whatever - people are going to think that this is Pyramid Head. If you're okay with that, then just keep going. If you don't want people to confuse the two, then you need to drastically change the design. Nobody here is doubting your sources of inspiration, in any way, don't take it like that. You just have to realize how similar the two are, and how the majority of the people who see this will automatically assume that Pyramid Head was your direct influence.
When an audience sees your work, they're going to interpret it how they want to interpret it. It's your job as an artist to control the connotations, context, vernacular, aesthetic, etc of your work and make sure that the audience sees what you want them to see. You don't get to give a lengthy speech about your inspirations and intentions to someone every time they see one of your pieces - the work has to speak for itself.
So yeah. Decide whether or not you can live with the fact that the majority of the people who see this are going to assume that it's Pyramid Head. And then go from there.
