[WIP] Small Cyborg Sprite

[Data 1]

Well I finished the original sprite I had, and I wanted to try an arms crossed pose.. I think I have the anatomy right.. but his forearms just look like noodles to me.. not really like solid forearms... I think it's a shading problem... but I'm not really sure what part of shading the forearms is making it look like this.. that and I'm not real sure what to do with the hands.. I  think I have them in a good position.. but the hand on his right makes his forearm look skinny because of the fingers... So I'm kinda stumped... this is something I have trouble with often when ever I try to make a crossed arms pose...

Anyone have any ideas?..

I did some minor tweak in his left hand and his right arm. You draw the hand beneath the arm, so it looked like he was freezing.
That's the only problem I saw with the position in comparison to the reference.
Someone might help you a little more.
