Subject: Halo ODST Fan art I am working on, critiques appreciated!

Hey all, just thought I'd share with you a piece I'm working on. It's lacking a good chunk of detail and some effects but the general everything is in place. I've been a long fan of the franchise and something got me motivated to try out some conceptual art-esque sort of stuff. Let me know what you think. I've got thick skin so don't be afraid to be critical, just keep in mind there is a lot more to do on it that I haven't touched yet!

If anyone can tell me how to embed images that would be super.
If you like it and/or want to see my non-fan art please become a fan of my page on Facebook! I would appreciate the support as I am graduating and will be embarking on the path to becoming a professional illustrator. The more fans the better.

That ODST picture is really nice.
The SMG looks a tiny bit odd though.

Noted, I'll keep that in mind moving forward. Thanks!

It looks superb!

Wish I was half as good as that in art!

I'm watching you.

Nicely done.

Thanks all.

Moving forward I'm going to adjust the placement of the figure a bit, make the secondary light source stronger so that not so much of him is in shadow, throw in a bunch of fun detail and battle damage on the armor and push the textures all around to be sharper. Additionally I need to fix the SMG, make HIS right arm a little closer and more tense, and really make the explosion a lot more believable.

I'll repost when I get around to making some of those changes. In the mean time, anything else that comes to mind send my way!
