Another splash page from my unpublished sci-fi comic Shrike - references to Humanity.

I'm interested in detailing the less-seen parts of Shrike's futuristic world, and thus the stand-alone pieces from Shrike I put up here are primarily studies of things like architecture and - as in this case - fashion. This is the protagonist in a dance club, dressed up to the teeth with tribal-style decorations over her pressure suit.

Comments and feedback is appreciated as always!

EDIT: I felt the image came across as a bit too "flat", and so did some commenters. So I've gone back and sharpened it up as well as increased contrasts and highlights all over.

So Cool! I love the light coming from the club

Definitely enjoy seeing your work Griatch; the glossy light effect works well here.

I like the otherworldly look of it. She looks powerful but not evil; a being of helpfulness.

Really beautiful. I like the pose. Also really good face.

I'd prefer more defined edges, but that's stylistic choice, so it's not a crit.

Thanks for the comments everybody.

I actually agree with you; there was something that was not really "jumping out" with the image. So I've gone back to sharpen it up as well as modify a bunch of details in the image. Take a look, hopefully better now.

It's clearly better now. Also, those curves are... well, really beautiful!

@kimppi

Glad to hear it. Yes, there are some curves there indeed.
