Description I am wokring on this piece for part of a final at school.....it's still pretty rough (with the lighting and whatnot) but I would really love some help figuring out any anatomical, composition or colour issues early on. The best critique I've been able to get so far has been "do better", so if anybody has anything more....concrete I would be really grateful.

(I do know the orange lighting on the robot doesn't make sense....I threw it on there while deciding a palatte and haven't refined it to making any sense...)

Thank you!

EDIT Did some major work on this badboy (completely overhauled it really) based on some really good critique I got on it. I'm still not sure if it's finished, but I'm much happier with it!

Critiquing for

Well, first of all I gotta say that you have an interesting scene her and that this has a lot of potential, I also really like the robot's design. Now onto things that can be fixed, first of all the robot's stance is ambiguous right now, it looks like it was standing akwardly before being shot, if you're going for a terminator feel with a greater sense of danger and artificial power on it, bring his left leg closer to the left border so it looks like it's in the middle of a stride towards the character. If you want the "falling apart" look, try with raising it's left knee as if that leg was already off the ground, but make it obvious to impoove the pose. The girl is pretty much ok, her face is fierce and her body language very strong, there are only two anatomical problems to fix that can't be passed on as style under any circumstance: First, her right breast doesn't seem to have any volume, breasts are connected to the pectoral muscle and it would stretch towards the direction the shoulder's moving to. Second, whole right arm indicates it being pulled outwards the body, but the shoulder looks as if it was being pulled inward, check yourself in the mirror in that pose and draw accordingly. Also the gun-recoil pose on the character's arm and the explosion on the robot's head are off time, at that distance any bullet would be way past the robot's head before she'd have time to get her hand pulled back so far.

You're in the right track, keep it up and practice will make you great

Thanks! I wanted to try something a little different with the lighting, and the colour of the lighting. ^^
