Hey. Over the weekend i've started working on my next "portfolio piece". Hopefully this is a good pick, that will cover major parts of beeing a character artist: likeness, anatomy, clothes/folds and hardsurface (i'll
try to model his weapon - never done that before). I would like to push this one as far as i can - just to see where i am atm. Most of the stuff i know i've learned from reading this forum (aka lurking), but reading and working on your own gets you only up to a certain point, so i'll try to be more active member
Anyway here's where i am with it so far - any crits are more than welcome.

@OctoKube: nah my anatomy knowlage and sculpting of it isn't at the point where i could start cutting corners, so i'm doing everything from scratch (zshperes and dynamesh) for every project - it's a good practice i feel and i'm not under any deadlines anyway. Thanks!
Head is too small, feet too large.
Ankles look very thick. thigh is sorta bowed out. Bodybuilders want to have an "outer sweep" like this with the quads but its not rotated correctly. Like the ham strings would touch between the legs and knees would be facing outward more to look like that. knees might be a touch low as well.
mouth looks a bit wide, and forhead a bit large. The chin might be too long as well. Ears look a little small.
biceps a little long.
Anyway, nice work here. Looking forward to seeing more!
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Nice stuff
@Deathstick: Heh, thank you. I hope you'll be back.
Update:
those large quads he has surely produce some stronger folds on his lower legs.
the jacket seems to go in the right direction, some of the shapes could be tighter, but i'm sure you'll get to that.
and here it is on arnold.
So when you show him now with pants and thee is that big gap inbetween his legs it looks really off to me. with pants like these they should be tight in those areas and the amount his legs are touching with the fabric would be greater. Another thing to look at is the bottom part of the bicep. Even though arnolds arms are huge there is always a gap between the bottom part of the bicep and the forarm. It doesn't hang like that. I notice a lot of people do that because they think "big round biceps" but in reality they aren't that shape when in a relaxed pose like this. Anyway, good work here man looking forward to seeing more!
