Decent looking face, interesting use of materials. (Something tells me I should recognise that packaging)

Seeing as this is the LAF and not Frothers, how much constructive criticism are you looking for? :)

@vermis- Frothers offers constructive criticism? I must be visiting the wrong site cause that's not how I'd describe it there...

People there can certainly be harsh with opinions.

Too looking starts! Maybe try brown stuff for anything needing a hard edge?

It can be difficult to find - usually you have have to sift through a certain amount of manure first. lol Though have a browse through this recent topic, which is pretty good IMO.

But to be more precise, I'm not a huge believer in just offering pats on the head, the 'if you have nothing nice to say' attitude; especially if the recipient is someone seriously trying to learn - even a prospective professional - who needs direction. That's not to say I believe in going out out of my way to say nasty things, but the situation might need plain-speaking and pointing out what's wrong, and that can often sound hard and harsh.
No offense intended to the LAF, but aside from one or two members, it hasn't struck me as a place for that, or a place people visit for that. I don't know if Korwin is here for the latter, so although I can see problems in the sculpts, I thought I'd ask before going in-depth. (RE: that linked Frothers topic. ;) )

Constructive criticism...

Before you start with details, get the proportions right. The torso is too long and thin, the legs are too short.
My suggestion would be to start with a complete armature and build it up to get the overall proportions sorted, then add the armour and after that add the details.

You can be superb at details but if the proportions are off, your sculpts will look wrong no matter how well they are sculpted.
