Omgeee Geti thanks so much for the cool pic
I love how organic it is, reminds me a little of Laputa hehee...

Super thanks and Merry Christmas!!

Well, first I'd just like to say that you miiiiiiiiight wanna get rid of that seam over his crotch.

A good rule to keep in mind for a guy is to downplay his legs and hips as mush as possible. I'd move the orange things to wrap around him somehow to keep it from making him look stocky. It might be good to define the muscle sections a bit more; don't make his arms any bigger, just put in some sharper lines. Lastly consider making the shoulder pads a bit bigger, give him some more of a neck, and build up his traps.

Maybe a sider stance could help too. Here's a nasty edit since I'm not the best at explaining things:


I really like the helmet! that thing looks so awesome.

Oh haha...I never noticed the crotch seam could be mistaken...I feel embarrassed now...;;

And I really like what you did to his arms and legs. Thank you! That looks much better now!

If it helps, here is the original model: http://wikicheats.gametrailers.com/images/thumb/7/77/LP2_NewNevec.jpg/150px-LP2_NewNevec.jpg
Maybe I used the reference too much and didn't think about the image to pixel transition so much as I should have...

Oh and Deidara I never thought of Dead Space outfit actually! You're right that it isn't one of the bulkier armour...thanks for the inspiration!

And thank you Tourist, you're right that the shape is quite feminine, whereas I don't mind the design would be more feminine than masculine... Mecha designers like Yoji Shinkawa, I really admire because their work has a more feminine aesthetic but still looks very powerful and sexy... I was aiming for something like that with this but I guess I should be trying to design my own armour instead of attempting a fanart this way.
For me as a female, it is difficult to draw something very manly especially since I usually draw very curvaceous girls, so your points will help me greatly! I'll definetly edit the legs with yours and kcilc's critique in mind and improve the proportions...

Thank you so much

Wowww Dusty Thank you! I wasn't expecting this~! I love the colours!
Much love for Metal Gear! If you ever finish the sprites later, I'd love to see them ♥!

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside, seeing all these awesome pixels everyone has drawn jajajaja ;3;

Give him pimpin' shades and a cane!

Seriously though, I feel originality of a character should come from the creator. Otherwise it isn't original, right? I'm sure you can think of some cool gear to make him less generic!

Right now I feel his skin tone is far too yellow and his nipples are too center, his pecs are too round so they look like boobies instead õ_ó;

Also his feet are facing two different directions and one leg is a completely different shape to the other...Maybe fix his pose up to be a bit more natural first before you start changing his outfit? Also is there a need for his hair to be the same colour as his jeans? It just looks a bit odd...in my opinion anyway...

Nice job on the muscles so far though!

Yeahh you're definetly moving in the right direction now !

Oh the boobs might need a little adjustment too, just something that caught my eye~ they look like she's standing completely straight. She's leaning a little bit so in reality so one would be a bit higher up than the other to match the curve of her torso. (The one on our right should be a notch higher...)
