Nice. It looks like a fire hydrant.

What is it?

sorry, guess a reference would be good. He's a character from the anime, Samurai 7

Looks really interesting! I wonder what is that too? :)

And what's that behind it. If it's some kind of suiting I think it needs to be darker where that thing below meets the character. And I would add more dark colors to his mouth. If it's that shiny it will be definately darker there.

Looks good so far. Can't wait to add the final image ;)

Just followed the name and googled. I reckon it's this guy:
http://www.yale.edu/anime/imgarchive/Samurai%207/kikuchiyo.png

At first I thought it was a deformed Penguin mech or f some sort. Looks a lot better now that I know what it is.

The gold 'spoiler' on his helmet needs a little polish, it's a bit rough and bulges at the ends. As gas mentioned, maybe add a little more shadow to the visors. His neck is a bit pale too seeing as it's got all that hair covering it.

Good job so far.
