Looks at the relationship between the rib cage and abdominal muscles, it looks like you have cut out the lower ribs and sternum to show off the upper adominal muscles. Would be a good investment to get an anatomy book and reference it while creating characters. Right now the anatomy has quite a few problems. Creating realistic anatomy is tough, but keep using reference and try to understand the shapes and forms, think of what you see and not what you think you see.
I can see the resemblence, but at the same time I'd give him some leeway. That basemesh is a default primitive in Silo. I've seen it a hundred times on these boards and never knew who the original artist was. If I'd used it myself I wouldn't have known who to credit, I'd have said 'silo basemesh' or something. In general it's probably the most used one I've seen here. Lots of people use it on these boards without credit, not out of malice just because it's eponymous.
Not saying it's great practice not attributing things, just a guess as to how it happened.
did not know that! Im so out of it its not even funny anymore :P
I understand where youre coming from, but its important from a criticism point of view. Proportions, relations and general mass/structure are important things to learn and using a base-mesh (Read:base) really does help out and prevents you from learning important aspects.
If the OP had mentioned that he used arshvelons basemesh (his basemesh dates way back, god knows how many bases you can get off the netz these days), i would have advised him not to rely on bases for the purpose of learning. Shouting it out and giving him away was not my intention.
anywho, please continue!!
