Hey,
just had to pop in and say really good job on your model.
Only thing i can say about the pose is that i think the back needs to arch a little bit. Not sure how much wiggle room you have with the jetpack though. Maybe not, im not sure, but that was the first thing i noticed.
Really looking forward to the finished piece.

Thanks for the comments guys. I took the shirt into zbrush today and gave it some folds. Is it just me or does anyone else hate fiddling with getting normal maps and displacement maps out of zbrush? I just ended up exporting a fairly hi rez mesh out and replace the low rez geometry in my scene, don’t have the patience to get it working right for this contest. What’s a few 100,000 polys more right?? 
Yeah, that works too. 
But dude, when it works, it’s like butter. I’m rendering 1.5million polys in 2 min, 9AA, reflection and radiosity. Definitely give it a second look when you have the time.
Ok!! Time for the big push this weekend!! I’m just down to refining making everything as good as it can be.
And… go!
So here is basically what will end up being my final render for Ace. There are some more pieces of the image that I’m not showing yet (smoke and contrails and sun glare, maybe a sonic boom :)) But wanted to get any last minute tips on him before the end Wanted to say thanks to everyone who’s been watching this thread! Your crits and comments have been invaluable!

i have to agree with theKid123, your avatar looks cooler.
might be those red parts?

Great job Murderface. That pose now with the contrails reminds me a lot of Iron Man.
Hey japetus, GREAT JOB!! This was my favourite cartoon growing up alongside bravestar. You’ve done a fantastic job at capturing the likeness… you’ve made my day.
If I was to crit anything, it would be that his arms and legs look a little too small.
