The Neo elements of this picture are excellent. The pose, the smirk, the sidelong glance, even the decision to use the black hair with pigtails (though a future alternate with the neapolitan hair would not be unappreciated), it is all very consistent with Neo's character. She looks like Neo even through the art style change. The pose and angle really sell the confident and impish parts of her character. The hair looks like it drapes naturally. It's an excellent portrait.The Spartan elements also work well for the most part. The armor is almost flawless, it's slick enough to be consistent with Neo's agility-based fighting style, but immediately recognizable as MJOLNIR armor. It is also is clever how the UNSC logo is canted so that the eagle's wing almost looks like it's coming off of Neo.As for criticisms, please keep the given score in mind while reading, they are minor flaws, and might just boil down to personal preference.The main problem with this image is in color composition and clutter. The overall cool blue is consistent with the armor lights, which makes it a logical choice, but due to the lack of contrast, it causes confusion in some places. The right side where the pouch and rifle overlap and left shoulder in particular. It took me a second to realize what exactly was going on in those areas. Also, the left hip is also unclear, is the helmet magnetically attached and she's holding a sword or the opposite?I wasn't thrilled with the weapons choice. There's too many, and they are out of character for her. I would have stuck with melee weapons, maybe had her main an Elite Honor Guard staff.Overall, I love this image, it is my second favorite image of one of my favorite characters, and almost seamlessly blends two of my favorite fictional worlds. Thank you.
