My first submission of 2013!!

As I said in my journal; I want to challenge myself this year, and this is the first piece to start that tradition.
The main protagonist from the Mass Effect series: Commander Shepard. (The female one of course)
The armor and pose are heavily referenced off of the promotional shots for ME3, which I believe is quite clear to see.
But that's what you get when painting new things... you need references. But I just HAD to make her look like my personal femshep.

All comments are more than welcome and critique is always appreciated!

It's gorgeous btw... like... really really. Like really really gorgeous. Like i think imma show this to all my Mass Effect fan-friends
Yes, the armor was a pain in the a** quite a few times and this painting took me a dear sweet amount of time! But it was totally worth it in the end!!
Oh noez! Not a pain in the A-star-star! You poor thing! *conjures you pancakes, chocolate and cuddles* ^^ You're welcome
Ya it looks amazing
Well, you've seen what it looks like up close, hehe. It's mostly just tricking the eye.
The omni tool was a pain in the ***!!!! But when I tried to paint just the hand it looked even worse, so I decided to put it back in xD
Wonderful done!!
She doesn't look all that much in the the menu, but in the creator, game and cutscene's you'll see the similarities, I think:
753.68D.G5H.K71.CHF.1HH.PEJ.AC1.K86.CJH.7G5.425
If anything, I could always edit it a bit in the creator to suit my tastes. But thank you again!
