Some people are like Slinkies; not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

such people include spammers, flamers, and art thieves.

Wow... I hope you won the detail-drawing contest with an entry like this! =P
The detail here is absolutely fantastic, it'll be intersting to see this coloured. Make sure when you're colouring it that you add plenty of shading since all the detail in the lineart does make it a bit hard to see what's what and there is relatively little depth to the picture.
A useful technique to get around this is to use different line weights. For example, if you make the most important outlines nice and thick and all not so important lines thinner and thinner depending on how essential they are, you'll be able to make pictures like this a bit less confusing.

My only other criticism here is for the arms. Two things really. Firstly, when you're drawing armour, make sure you take into account the body underneath the metal. For example, his left upper arm. We can see the armour there is a good one or two inches thick, but when you take that into consideration, there isn't a lot of room for the arm itself.
It's an easy mistake to make, I used to do it all the time.
The other thing is you might consider contouring the armour to the shape of the arm a bit more. For example, rather than doing the forearm armour as a straight cylinder, maybe start it off wider and then have it get thinner towards the wrist. Just keeps things a bit more natural looking.

Ok, that's all, sorry about the rather critical comment, but I kinda saw the "Advanced Critique Encouraged" sign and went for it! =P
Either way this is a damn good drawing, very cool detail, just maybe a few suggestions to make it better still! :D

DA says this would-be critic isn't rich enough to be allowed to write proper critique... but I do it anyway.

Heh my friend kinda forfeited after he saw it lol :)
Well I'm still hoping to make a drawing so confusing with detail it will be seizure inducing, relatively speaking XD

Glad you noticed the arms though, didn't realize I've made the mistake until now. I suppose giant cylinders are kinda boring. Maybe layering before finalizing the drawing might help.

Thanks for the critique though, it is very helpful.
Heh the Advanced Critique is probably made for you :D
