First go...

[JimmyD]

Normally I resort to models to make characters, but in this case, I decided to give the old fashioned way a go for the main character of my latest endeavour. Thus, I give you...

Unnamed lady in a space-suit!

The idea is that she's recently recovered from injuries (hence the black-eye, and the "burns" on the front of the suit), but I'm also going for futuristic, so the suit is sleeker and less bulky than modern space suits.

The one thing I know I could do better is the head, but they always stump me - it gets messier and messier the more I try to change anything. I'm not trying to make her look too feminine, and trying to make the hairstyle more practical for someone who'd wear a helmet on a regular basis, but I'm having trouble with that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Changes made so far based on advice:
- made sure height levels match
- changed the neck
- did more to the bun of hair

She seems to be leaning forward a bit too much. She'd fall over like that (unless her boots are built in with some pretty heavy weights ). Your views don't seem to be matching up either (the hands, the leg-screen, the thickness of her shoulder pads). When she's got her helmet off, I think you should have her bun-thing complete. It looks a little strange right now. Also, in her side-view, you've given her a what looks to be a double-chin or an adam's apple, or something. I'd suggest removing that extra darker pixel, and rounding out the chin itself.

I think it looks pretty good. Her feet look pretty big, though -- most women have very small feet from what I can tell. I think if you shaved three pixels off of the foot length on the horizontal views it'd look fine. It's also a little odd that the ankle goes straight down to the ball of the foot -- usually the ball goes out a tiny bit -- but I don't know how that'd look (that is, if adding one pixel line would be too much or not). But anyway, I think it looks pretty good!

Good detail, good posture overall. I think the super saturated blues are a bit unnatural looking. There's lots of nice detail in the torso, but the blue is close enough to your outline color that it obscures them a bit. Perhaps a lighter, greyer blue would work better.

Another small point is that her arms may be a bit short- if you ask any self-assured art major they will insist the fingers should hang down exactly to mid thigh when the arms are relaxed. If said art major were in a bad mood he or she might also berate you for making the shoulders wider than the hips. 

It looks great, mate.
