alright I'm gonna post the latest version of the Pic I got saved, mainly I need some help giving the visor sheen as well as the rest of the metallic suit you know to make the visor seem... Glassy =P and and the metal more metalic.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

errr...

the bright lights are really distracting, i can barely make out anything, are using outer glow?

to make the metal look metallic, hmmm, more contrasting shades? i dunno, ive been doing more matte work

worked on a few of the details, etc.

I know its not too hard to do the glow with dodge but like im obsessed with it, ITS SO LEET lol

Also I wana add it has a feel of a cartoon, to make it a perfect cartoony scene I'd say add detail to the gun, otherwise leave everything else as is

Unless he was in a thick fog, those armor surface lights wouldn't light up himself that brightly. Instead, that light would spread out, hit the walls, and reflect back to provide a lot of ambient light.

What parts of himself that are lit directly by the surface lights are places that pass in front of one of the lit stripes, or areas where there are bevelled edges around the light.

Just a quick suggestion... on some of the metallic and more reflective surfaces you could have them catch some of that red from his armor instead of just keeping it all grays and reds and not mixing just a little tad here and there. As for the gun, try to make the shapes more solid looking, kinda looks fuzzy in a way

. If I am not helpful well just ignore me then hehe :P goodluck!

most has been said already, but not much on compostiotn the bright light beams on his body really distracts the eye... and it does not halp the image at all. I think it acually makes it bad... becuase the eye can not capture the image unless you look hard which is a bad thing when creating images. if it was not for the brightness or the light lines on his body the compositon might be pretty good.
