The legs look good, but I think you went way overkill on the amount of pictures. :P

More images is better than too few, low resolution images.

I shockingly have little opinion on it yet, I'm keeping an eye on the progress and wish you luck.

Thanks lephenix too. I appreciate the support! :D

EDIT:

Made some progress on the SBD. All thats left is arms, finishing touches, texture, envelope, weights, and the magic moment when I stick my first player model ingame!

I'll give you a cookie if you stick that ingame. :P

I'm looking forward to the arms and textures! It all looks very promising.

That's looking good but it should be spherical not cubic:

Take a look at forcemaster's:

Also don't triangulate until it is done.

That would be the finishing touches. I plan on rounding it out more once I get the base model done. I find deforming a cube then rounding it works best, at least for me. As for triangulation, I like to do that as I go. Thats personal preference on my part. Thanks for the feedback!
