I posted the line art version of this a while ago. I've fixed some of the problems that were made apparent although I still had alot of trouble getting the Predator to look right. I'll probably go back and refine it in some areas but this is pretty much the finished piece. All comments/crits are welcome.
Thanks.

Hi Axl.
I have a few crits for you:
The first impression i got when i saw it was that it done in two different styles.
When looking at the Predator i see realistic colours, but the dreads looks cartoony.
It's the same with the belt. It looks like they don't belong to eachother. Did that make sense? The girl looks even more cartoony with the hair, face, belt etc.
Her head is also too small. Dis you create this one by piece for piece(for example do the hand and then do an armor piece)? If that is the case i would not recomend it, it can often end up in a result like certain areas don't look like they belong to the whole. Excuse my poor english by the way, i feel that it really limitates what i want to say...I hope it can help you anyway

Mikael

Hi! Oh... I like some colored points here and there but I agree with micke about the two styles. You have potential to make it more seamless.

Micke, do you mean that her head is REALLY too small? Or too big? Hehe.. I think it's too big. Anyway, perhaps I know your irritating feeling when you use english. I have same feeling - I would have so many things to say and give crit but I have LIMITS. I hate that feeling.

Thanks for your comments Micke.
I can see what you're saying about the dreads,belt,etc. I tend to use different layers for various pieces (as you pointed out the armour being seperate from the hand). It's something that I'm trying to get out of the habit of using but I'm getting there. The problem with the dreads was that I couldn't get them to look like seperate strands so I outlined them which kinda gave them a comic book art style.
I'm a little unsure about your comment as to the size of her head as comments were made in the original line art post that the head looked too big, so I don't know.
