Some of the stuff I like:
The solid color scheme--very cool, and very tough to do.
Lots of articulation, as you’ve already touched on.
Suggestion--if you shorten up the limbs you won’t be putting so much torque
on your fragile joints. Of course that impacts your proportions--it’s about
compromise. If I remember right, Eric starts with the head, then the feet,
then he fills in the blanks. I always start with the hips because they
always seem to be the limiting factor for how much upper body weight I get to
work with.

Thank you, I will think about that when I try another. I guess I am sort of a
traditional builder at heart. I started with the feet, moved up the legs and
finished with his head. Things were totally fine, “jointwise” until I added the
weight of the shoulders and head.
