The finish product..with suprisingly low quality

I think the green may be too cliche,but I can't seem to find the right tone for this guy.

Any suggestions? Or possible help with anatomy =)

Why don't you go with the mesh look? Pretty cool. Could be a robot from space.  :)

 ;) Sorry It has to be a flesh and blood alien.

I will get on the arm problem but the whole chest looks strange...if anyone can point it out it will be greatly appreciated.

appears I came in second ;)

But I basically did the same thing Mage did.  The chest looked almost concave, so I expanded it out to make it look more bulky and muscular!  I also gave the torso more shape.  It was done quickly (so I don't recommend using it) but you get the idea!
