I've made a lot changes in this update. I've opted to go with non-human stlye feet (I made both). I'm working on a few blend shapes, and more accessories right now.

looking good. maybe raise the value on the cam environment just a hair for the FG. It also looks like your going for some fat in the abdomen. The skin there possibly wouldn't be that smooth. You could use a cloud filter in photoshop, blur it and add that to your bump to brake up the smoothness a little.

Looking really cool, it would be very neat to see it lumbering around..

Here are two more pic's with the env. brightened a little bit (which went a long way). I would like to do the whole photoshop texture thing, however I'm a novice at true UV texturing in Maya (or any other program for that matter). I've unwrap a few heads with alot of success, however doing an entire character just takes too much time for me right now.

The second render is a low poly one

looks good so far dude.
maybe increase the bump a bit to give the skin more depth, it kinda looks flat right now.
the specular highlights (i u r using any) are on point
