Looks cool, I really like the drawn light from below. Just the white/black area at the top of it's head looks odd.

I agree with JK, it draws your eye right away. Why are you building something so low-poly? For practice? I think from what I've been learning it's time to up the polycount quite a bit from what you have, as far as metal, look for a chrome image on line and then cut and paste it in in Photoshop if you have it. Photoshop also has a chrome filter you can use and 3dmax has some cool metal maps if that's what you're using.
good luck, looks cool

Good start, but right now it is super soft in the texture. The white area looks wierd because it is so much brighter in value. If you wanted to suggest a white skin patch, it wouldn't be that bright. Maybe it's glowing?

Try using a hard edged brush, and don't smudge the values so much. Get some hard edges in like this. http://www.poopinmymouth.com/process/tips/edges.jpg
