No really, look at how skinny his arms would be if you took his sleeves off. That's like, emaciated.

Exactly how much space do you think there is between the sleeve and the arm? The armband is about the thickness of his biceps.
General looseness of clothing accounts for a lot of perceived size, so I would say it gives the look of having one damn scrawny arm underneath.
Looks like he has a robotic left arm. What is firearm? Looks a lot like the Halo SMG. Suit looks like Leia's disguise in Episode VI.
No robotic left arm. Just stiff drawing technique. This one is older than some of the stuff on the previous page.
This is a side shot of his gun:
Also, it's essentially a beta design of this character, so the suit isn't final. I had jousting helmets and the Halo Hunters in mind when I made the helmet and Combine in mind for the rest. I still think it needs some serious revision to bring it all together. Also, the fairy has nothing to do with the picture. I just didn't want to remove that doodle.
E: You know what's awesome? The brown smudging in some of these pictures is black powder residue. I drew quite a few of these after shooting some Enfield 1858s at a Civil War "living history" outpost.

I like the Leia look honestly. Most people probably wouldn't notice, and I always really liked that design. That design just seems very Star Warsy for whatever reason.
Warsaw, you should head over to the Penny Arcade artist's corner and set up a thread for yourself. There are some brilliant professional artists on there, and it's one of the best places to get good crit.
I never thought of that. I think I'll do that once I get some new "finished" pictures done.
I wish I could scan those huge pictures of mine without having to go to FedEx/Kinkos, since some of them are actually rather nice compared to these doodles.
@TVTyrant: I wasn't thinking Star Wars at all though. I never think Star Wars because the cheesiness of it does not mesh well with the hyper-realism I'm going for in my universe. That said, the helmet is not really going to change much, since it is the defining feature. It's the body that bothers me.
Even with your unfinished pictures, if you get stuck, you can post in the Doodle Thread (currently named Tim Schafer's [Dudle] Legend)
Also, make double sure you read the forum rules, and whatever you do, stay on Lewie P's Stepdad's (the admin's) good side. This can generally be accomplished by not being a dick, so you should be in the clear, but fair warning.
Also, the server there performs worse than this one, so if you see "the server is too busy", just wait a few minutes and hit F5. That forum's got like, thousands of members. The version of vbulletin they use was never designed for that kind of load.

Ugh. I need Photoshop. This picture is 18"x24" and I tried to scan and collage the most important bits (the whole helmet is actually present in the drawing). It's a self-portrait.
