Hmm. The anatomy of the right chest seems a bit off. I'm not quite sure.

his knees are too low and/or his legs are too short, and his feet look inhuman too me (this maybe intentional). the pose seems to be intended as a contraposto (counterpoise) but it needs some reshaping, take a look at this link for a good example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michelangelos_David.jpg.

i like the mask, it makes it look alien.

keep working on that counterpoise. the right leg (his left) is looking MUCH better but the other one could still use some tweeking. you should either get it in front of or behind the other because right now it just seems shorter. there is a good tutorial on posture here http://www.algarcia.org/AnimationPhysics/BalanceTutorial.pdf although it is made for animation the basic concept definitely aplies.

the hand is very good but the weapon isn't at the right angle. i see much improvement. keep it up and this will be a beutifull piece
