Air Fortress Redux

I decided to go a totally different direction in the design of the character, and this is what I came up with.

He looks less Bond/Ninja and more Chibi Astronaut. I obviously don't hold a candle to this guy with my artistic ability, but I'm pretty happy with it. I did strive for a painterly look on this one. I like the look of the visor, but everything else just seems so flat. The color selections aren't that great. But, for what it's worth I like the character design.

Any thoughts? Critiques?

I'm not a drawer, so I can't judge your shading and whatnot, but I agree with you that the reflection and shadows you got on the faceplate are outstanding. I like your cartoonish feel myself.

Two things more: First, man, you have been longer between posts than I have! Two, make the stock of the rifle a different color from his spacesuit so it'll stand out.
