In a nutshell, it's a space-suit that's more geared towards soldiering than NASA's usual line of work. While the person inside is supposed to be a woman (I suck at drawing, yeah), she *is* supposed to be fairly masculine - long hair doesn't work well with helmets after all, and armed forces aren't going to go to much effort "feminising" suits beyond functional necessity. Still, I want to improve on it, and any advice is much appreciated! I think I could do better on the face, in particular...

What sort of terrain will your soldier be operating on? The suit should reflect the type of soldier, and take into account practicality. A bright blue suit of armour wouldn't be the best option in normal environments, unless it's ceremonial. So I think you should consider how the suit will be used tactically, and how it suits where the soldier is based.

The back view niggles me, but other than those two things, it's quite good.

I see what you mean about camouflage - I was thinking of other variants for other environments, but in this case, it's kind of an "urban military police", urban being in space colonies of course.
