Hey, good stuff. It looks like you are experimenting with a cartoon approach versus a realistic style. Kong looks more simplified in the face than the gladiator. Maybe you could simplify the body more to match the face. Perhaps more exaggerated hands and body porportions would be good. Instead of drawing every hair strand, try simplifying the approach. Concentrate on making shapes, rather than shading. Maybe you could use forced perspective to make the audience feel his height or add a damsel in distress to give the audience a sense of scale?

All in all, good progress, hope to see more.
