I really like the silhouette of the model, very clean and masses has a great balance; I also like the surface of the skin, reminds me a bit Barlowe’s pencil illustrations.
The elbow seems to me a bit weak in conparison to the over developed biceps considering that is one of the major structure for the creature to move around, but this is just a personal feeling about it.
Could I ask you if you think to develop some sort of feet for him or would you stick with the pointed “claw” like limbs?
Overall a very great start! 
Very nice concept indeed, did you do any sketches or just go with the flow?
My only C+C is the area around the calf or where his calf would be, the area looks very weak ar present, also the ankle area looks like it could use a joint bone.
I am really digging the elongated feet stilts and feelers they rock, think this one is going in my inspiration folder once you finish it
wicked shape,
I really love the head.
nice work as usual !!
I really like the differences this tripod has over Spielberg’s War of the Worlds alien. It does have a “Barlow” feel to it, but your muscle mass is more defined. My only crit, thus far, would be to add some callous and wear to the stilt bottoms. I’m anxious to see if you take this further. I really think you should!

Brillant as always 
I got a few thoughts though, if you don’t mind
I’m not to keen on the skin texture, it seams very bumpy especially on the shoulders, and, this is quite a matter of opinion, but I’d love to see some really awesome hands and feet.
But like I say, Brilliant!
Hey guys !
In repsonse to the c+c’s -
I hope to soften the texture a little , end the limbs with a subtle tapering hoof/elephant-like foot with slight calousing. When you see the sculpt from all angles without perspective the arms/elbows appear more balanced. I may also add some leathery plated scales in places like the centre of the shoulder just to add some interest. It is a WIP so time will tell !

the muscles in the forearem should be associated with another joint, like the hands. they dont make alot of sense if they arent pulling something. but nice work otherwise
mjolnir -
As I mentioned in the previous comment I intend to build in a vestigal stub/hoof ! Thanks for the feedback though !

The Tri-ped alien is magnificent. Better feet soon?
Hi all !
Quick update -
Worked on this a little more and threw it into a quick test-pose. Might mix it with some parts of the earlier version - not sure !

like the arm,hands expression
the face is looking sweet, reminds me of an alien underwater moses. Once you add the same detailing to the rest of the body he will be awesome.
