This is an ambitious piece, as a fan of multiple lighting I can see all of the work you put into this piece, and the planning you went through. This is a great concept as well, I’m a fan of military inspired art and this is right up my alley.

I think you did a great job taking the reference pose and making it your own. I did a double take when looking at the reference, because it was so different to me. You have some great details on her combat outfit, and she certainly looks the part. The lighting coming off of the weapon is excellent, presenting just a glimpse of the details in this piece. There are also some great dust debris particles being revealed by the light, which is a nice touch! However, I can’t help but feel that the rest of the piece might be a little too dark. You have some great details and greens coming off of the environment, it’s a bit hard to spot unless you raise your screen brightness. There is also some great bounce light from the red light hidden there as well.

Nitpicks on the anatomy, you might consider increasing the length of her left arm? It looks ok when compared to the reference, so maybe the hand is just a little small? Not a deal breaker on this piece in any case.

In general, great job on this piece. Keep making great art!
