Hey there,
first of all nice piece of design.
Great level of detail in his gear.
Now the "welcome" critique: There are several points of improvement here:
1.Shadows:
The pencilled shadows are just killing a lot of the saturation, cos they're neither straight black nor darker versions of the colours beneath.
Crispy black shadows (needs inking, I'm afraid) or darker colours would do the trick.
2.Choice of colours:
All in all the colouring is a little to equal. Go for more contrast. In every picture, there should be a few spots with destinguishly different colours then the rest of the image, to pop out and to give the eye something to focus on.
For example his hawaiishirt has almost his skin tone, the shirt beneath is pale skin, the pants are black skin, get the idea? Try at least one popping colour in every design. Bright red for the hawaiishirt maybe and make the shirt beneath more grey (just suggesting).
3.Colorvalue
When you turn your designs from colour to greyscale they still must work. A lot of artist color the images in greyscale first and add the colours later to avoid too flat colorations.
Lets take the one far right for example: In greyscale his whole outfit has almost the same value and structure, his helmet isn't bright n shiny, compared to his jacket, which isn't dark leather and so on. Here also contrast is the key, use colorflats that have distinct diffent brightnesses, and one lightsource is to be very soft, the other one ist to be very hard.
(sheesh, hope I'm not overdoing it)
If you would like to talk more about that, you know where to find me.
Cheers

WICKED! Can't think of anything to say for the 'advanced critique.' Sorry! However, I think Voodoo made the right choice of having the single jetpack. Also, the helm looks very retro and fitting for the story.
