I tend to agree with Adrian. This is old hat for you by now.
The over-all form is nice, but some parts seem out of scale or out of place to
me.
The scale issues come from the comparative lengths between arms, legs, and
torso. I’d expect the legs to be a bit longer and the arms a bit shorter in
respect to the torso.
Some of the details seem out of place to me - specifically the trans light blue
windshields. They appear at the joints (knees, elbows) and seem stuck on. Like
you had them and wanted to use them, but forgot about them til the end of the
construction. The sand green fingers are similiar in this way.
I really like the head. It has more personality than some of the others.
The feet seems more robotic/squarish than the general style. I’d like to see
feet that matched the beast aesthetic more.
Thats my general impression.
