... So I did actually make more alterations to the previous painting that I posted (final version on my website for anyone interested to see the last 1% change of that one)
Lets hope this one will need less edits... I have gotten to the point of not knowing if it is finished or even if it looks okay any more - todays task was redoing the face entirely! something about her eyes still bug me, even with the obscuring visor...too light maybe(?) Might see if I can edit/add teh background to add more story/intrigue to it too... then on with the modeller challenge [:0]

thanks for the feedback Frostblade/Souri. I haven't looked at this piece for a while (I did revisit some bits that frostblade commented about though). I do intend to recrop & paint in a better background and agree their is something subtly wrong with the figure also- might try and find a friend who will 'strike a pose' so I can get a reference shot to compare. But I am determined to get more done on other projects (ie modelling challenge) before I continue this one.
I don't like the crop much, draw the rest of her arm in.
The gun pointing up needs some skin colour relfections on it like the other one.
Some parts of the clothing has really smooth shading while some other bits are a bit rough.
The v shape around the hip area... it looks a little odd. Speaking as a girl, I'm sure it doesn't go up that high.
From personal preference a lighter lip colour will make her look a bit prettier.
