I'll start by saying your composition is done very well, colors and shades are balanced out so our eyes are not left stuck in one area, and the subject is in focus. Great job on this.Your painting skill and attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal. I can see you put a significant amount of effort into making this piece as realistic and accurate as possible.Anatomy is also spot-on, you understand female anatomy well enough, and the body proportions are accurate.My biggest issue with this piece, being a huge Mass Effect fan, is your decision to depict female Shepard half-naked with her arms, hips, upper thighs and part of her breast? thoroughly exposed. We understand that, at the end of ME3, your armor is partially destroyed. However, Shepard, regardless of gender, was not bearing this amount of skin. It's a tactical disadvantage and makes her substantially vulnerable to enemies.Most importantly, the character is completely non-sexualized in the game. In fact, there is a huge emphasis placed on her being a highly competent soldier with absolutely no bearing placed on her gender. Thus, the fact that you chose to sexualize her while depicting her in combat really serves to degrade her as a character.I also think the amount of reapers along with the floating rubble in the foreground you decided to paint makes the piece look a little too busy.One suggestion I could give is to add some small details to the background (any ghost buildings? city scape? etc), and it doesn't even have to be in focus, since our focus in on Shepard and the reapers behind her. I think it would definitely enhance what you already have.I hope this helps you out.
