Commenting from ProjectComment !

I think this is a pretty strong design with good detail and an interesting color scheme. The weapon has a unique-looking shape and the red glow coming from the helmet is very eye-catching too.

The bg is a good start but I think it looks somewhat too blurry and doesn’t look “finished” when compared to the clean and crisp lineart of the character. Backgrounds can be a pain to draw but spending a little more time on it could make the whole piece more cohesive. I’d recommend maybe looking up some reference images of the kind of bg you want and get inspired by that ^^

One more thing I’d suggest is making the metal armor shinier. The character looks overall pretty dark right now – which is fine to make them look like a sinister character – but making highlights brighter and adding more reflectivity to the material will add contrast and realism. Again, looking at images of metallic materials can give you an idea of where to place highlights and reflections to make it pop.

I think my favorite part is the helmet and the smoke-spewing pipes. They’re very original and all that smoke makes the character feel dangerous and mysterious. Nice work!

This is a pretty good piece you've done here. Composition itself is quite decent, and the design has a tough and intimidating feel to him. He's got a really good mechanical and combustive feel around him, especially with the sword, as well as those pipes that blow off the smoke. Shading and lighting is good on this as well, gives the dark and foreboding characteristic, and the lighting also gives him the shiny figure that adds to the metallic surface. Overall, well done.

With that said, there are a few things I would like to suggest to improve. First and foremost, the arms appear to be kinda squeezed right into the body, making it look as if he's been tied up, giving a sort of restrained look to the character. Spread the arms a bit more to make him look freer, which would also broaden his shoulders, making him appear much larger and more intimidating. Lastly, the fumes from the pipes look more like oil being squirted out, rather than smoke. A suggestion would to give them a sort of cloud shape at the end of the fumes. 

Overall, this is still a good pic!
