My work based on Halo game

[Edli]

I just signed in this web page and I have seen some of the most beautiful work ever. There is so much talent in here.

I am posting a work that I am doing right now in Ps. This is my first real painting that I am taking seriously. I always did pencil drawings so any critics are welcome. I need to learn more.
I have a problem with the metal effect.

well, what I don't get is...

If she's a spartan, which she must be as she has the mjolnir armour, then why isn't it covering 98% of her body like it should?

And her nose is quite...upturned.

Yes you're right. I can change a bit the armor. I started it more like a fanart, didn't want to make it so close to the real armor.

The upper part of her armor doesn't look quite as nice as teh lower part and the hair looks like it's jumping out at us (which wouldn't be too bad, but nothing else is). I really like your proportions and would love if you could point me to your reference.

Linda from the books?

The forearm on the right arm (away from the viewer) needs to be worked on, doesnt look like it has been touched. The armor could be closer to the original, bigger and covering more area expecially around the upper arms.

the dead or alive high rez spartan.

I'm going to be killed for knowing too much about Halo now...

No worries; You're in good company, here.

The back of the upper torso armor tickles my fancy! tee hee! This kicks my butt :D. Keep up the awesomeness! NOW! :D.

This is a more updated version. I need to work more in the upperbody and to cover some areas.
