How it's vs Reality capture? My experience with iphone pictures in Reality capture results usually in quite so-so geometry surface quality and thus blurry normal maps. Does it work better? Makes any AI tricks on top of photogrammetry? Includes auto retopo? Reality capture 100% incapable to do the grass . Does Sampler?
Added is the upgrade v03 of the Ekko rig. It includes a read-me for UI setup for mirroring and IK-FK swapping. Have a good one and happy holidays! https://drive.google.com/open?id=11xK_Tzm5QywGpd69MrBGAIAGiDNiZRWG
You put a lot of details in the textures but from a distance these will be viewed as simple boxes. I recommend to work more on the silhouettes. Looking forward to it! Also it is not clear from your gumroad if LODs are included or not?
Drawing itself is not necessary per-se. It's useful still, because it is the easiest medium to use to learn every thing else, anatomy included. Also the quickest way to demonstrate your idea to others.
I like the concept, keep working on it! My only advice whould be to break symmetry at the very end, build the big shape first ( including the mech arm ) and then start detailling and then break symmetry!
Mobile games have skewed the results of the gaming demographic surveys, including mobile and Facebook games dropped the average gamer age from 37 to 31 and greatly increased the number of female gamers.

I bought a pack with his first dvd included. It was totally worth it! Made Zbrush less of a mess after watching it :) I'm getting this one for sure after I get my salary.
You could do the Blizzard workflow and use real geometry as your base. Bake out a bunch of different mat caps, including a normal, and then use that base to create the hand painted style.
Keep on truckin! Your computer pad looks cool. Has a weird wireframe though. Looks like a decent amount of non-useful edges. I'd also include the tri count in in the image.
