I got two characters here for your critiquing pleasure. One human, one sea monster, both knights in a secret society of heroes known as P.O.J. (Protectors of Justice). Let me know what you think.

As much as I personally love asymmetry, the boot on the sea monster just doesn't fit. There's no way his foot would fit inside of that thing with any resemblance of comfort. My choice would be either give him normal feet (bare or clawed perhaps?) or lose the boot entirely. Other than that, my only thought is why the blue?

the human looks good though.

when i think of water the colors blue and green come to mind. hence the blue :)

i agree about the boot, but at the same time I like how it looks. it's a love hate thing. i might toy with it some more. see what I can do. i might just ditch the tentacle toes and go for two boots. tentacle toes looks odd when running.

I tend to go for symmetry myself, but I like what you've done. My only other thought was "why are there random spikes on his spandex-covered leg?" If you want something there to balance, I'd go with a pouch, knife, or something else strapped on. IMHO spikes are fine on robots/demons/etc, but are out of place on heros in spandex.

I like asymmetry if it has a purpose. Like a single pistol for my Swinging characters or using heavier armour on the left arm for blocking or the forearm guard on my Archery character. So if you have a good reason for the Spikes or the Metal Boots then I'm all for it.

In my opinion it's too much blue. I would personally go with more of a muted color, the blue green if you will and have them blend a bit more. Having such a harsh contrast between the green and blue just looks off to me.

I like the first guy a lot, but the spikes trash the costume for me. I love the asymmetry with the armor, but them spikes, I can't get over them.

and this.

Spikes make no sense to me. Are they surgically implanted? And the blue clashes too much. I would suggest a darker shade of green. That would make it look more realistic to me.

I have an idea!

To fix the awkwardness of the boot on mister sea-monster, put a small metalic peice on the other leg, ideally one that looks like it covers mostly the knee. this should keep the assyemtry, but allow for a more reasonble apperance.

Or I may be totaly out of my mind. :p

EDIT: I'd change the tentacle foot too. it seems even more out of place with the armor.
