Hey everyone. This was a pretty fun story to illustrate. I couldn't help but include the genetically engineered Iguana-parrot in the piece :)

It really does make me curious about what happens in the story.

There is some pleasing color happening but I also notice quite a few things that could be improved upon.

-The overall composition is interesting at a glance but alot of elements fall apart and feel very out of place upon closer look. Perhaps a little more time spent in planning will help alleviate this problem in the future.

-The lighting has some nice elements but is definately very inconsistent. The skin tones for instance seem to blow out in saturation far to early. By that I mean it would be nice to see a greater to play in color transition of the light gradiating across the surface. Some overall play with color contrast/temperature to seperate many of the elements would help as well.

-Some anatomy quirks in the girls pose, any ref used?

-Surface quality/rendering. This was a pretty big issue with me. It took me a while to recognize the soldier behind her was a statue of sorts (im not familiar with the content here if its based off anything purposeful or not). So some extra focus on the surface texture/lighting quality of different surfaces such as the wood on the dummy or the metal armor which at the moment all carries a very flat matt look.

Hey Eric it's me Eric!

Beautiful work man. Something not quite right with her left arm but on to the next one. Is this what you were finishing up when we were at Lunacon? Yo, let me know when you have time to go draw. Barrett center in poughkeepsie has a spot. I'll call ya soon

I like it a lot, really dynamic lighting. Really beautiful subtleties going on, like the carpet and the girls dress. Great job!
