          | I like it a lot. the colors are cool. For crits is its sex. Looks like both. If a girl, add hips. If a dude remove boobage. You did a great visaul in all 3 sizes. Only the kneepads in the medium sized one are off to the other 2.

          | jalonso: Thanks! It's supposed to be a female. And yeah, I'm not sure about them hips, but I'm not sure how to fix them either. I'll play around with it for a bit. 
 Yea, she sort of went through a few changes. I started with the mid sized one, then did the tiny one and the big one last actually and changed some stuff for each version.

          | that's a nice concept, the shading is good too! Though I feel, that the smaller versions got some stance issues. especialy the very small one. As for the hips:  http://206.145.80.239/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=27919 - http://206.145.80.239/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=27919

 ... a quick google search. You can find probably get better reference
material, but it's a start ;) What you can see on these pictures is the
typical women "8"-form... to be exact, the hips should be as wide as
the shoulders. Note that you shouldn't make them as large as your
shoulder-armor.

          | Here's an update then. Do the hips look better?

          | Yep, they're looking a bit better and that helps.  It might help now to narrow the shoulders a bit.  They're a bit man-ish right now.  Try raising the elbows a bit too. :)
