That's very good. The only thing I can really see is her nearest hand looks a tad odd, and that her mid-section probably needs to be curved slightly more. Apart from that, it's pretty damn good.

thanks give, ive curved her mid-section and managed to make her hand look much worse, but ill sort that out l8r.
also ive added more detail too the picture, such as making her look more like snake, with the headband and other accessories. i was contemplating adding a mullet to her also??! i originally thought leela's head was too small but i guess it is ok!
anything else?

That looks great. The only thing is her pants usually sit a little higher on her hips. Apart from that, great stuff. The size of her head looks good to me.

Mullet? THERE ARE NO HEROES...

Seriously, this is show quality, and I agree with the previous reviewers, the colouring is great. Perfect stuff.

That's a very uncommon sense of depth and shadowing for a "show quality" pic. IT seems like you have a knack for this, you're really gifted.

But, there's a but... since the pic relies heavily on the angolation and "crooked" perspective for visual impact, some mistakes in the angles themselves are way more noticeable. It's hard to pinpoint, but it feels like some lines should have a different direction than they have. For example, compare the horizontal direction of the tube where leela is, and the angolation of the ceiling lines (always the ones from left to right) where the bad guy walks, the corridor anyway. They're too different, they should be almost the same if not "conjoining" in the right side of the pic (continuing the lines with a ruler). Instead the will meet in the left side of the pic if we keep tracing them out of the boundaries of the image. What i said of course works only if the intersection between the corridors is 90° like it seems to be. Another example of this is the little cerulean box in the middle part of the long corridor... it doesn't really fit with the perspective of the before mentioned corridor.
The really heavy perspective nitpicking is just because i find the picture great, and it would be a masterwork if next time you paid more attention to those little problems. :)


P.S: Of course all of this is just IMO, and i never took art schools or whatever so i might have just said an impressive load of BS. If this is the case, feel free to send me hate mail.

actually marco i see what you mean, i dont think its 2 noticable though?, and if anyone asks ill say it was an artists interpretation of angles.

i might still send the odd bit of hate mail though, it sounds like it could be fun...for a while :)
