For mah Siegfried WIP, I posed in the mirror and drew a bucnh of poses and chose the one I liked most. From there I fleshed out the volumes, little circle for the stomach, big circle for the chest because he has a huge armor plate. etc. That helped me to keep the proportions right .

After that I referenced the armor (I used Soul Calibur 2's profiles option). It was a slow process but well worth it.

It's lookin good so far though! Where the armor on the forearm joins with the elbow looks a litle flat though, you should round out the angle to give it more depth.

Note: I'd love to help you on his crotch piece but I still don't know it mself. SC2 didn't help very much. ;P
