Lady Deathstrike

This is pretty near flawless; congratulations!

I think the things I love most about it are the texture and shininess of all the different leather items she's wearing -- the pants, the boots, the jacket -- all of which behave slightly differently in how they fold, bend and reflect light!

You've also done a wonderful job with her claws -- they look very much like real metal!

Another thing I think you've done really well is convey the cosplayer's posture -- it's easy to see that she's putting all her weight on the front foot.

I already said you did a great job on textures, but there are more things I want to single out, mostly about the jacket. The stripes on the sleeves, with the reflective leather alternating with the non-reflective other material, are amazing. I love all the tiny little bumps and wrinkles you've put into the leather stripes! They have to do the lion's share of the work suggesting the shape of the sleeves, and how they respond to the cosplayer's movement, by themselves, since the rest of the sleeve is pitch black.

The other thing I really like about the jacket is the built-in corset -- I think you've done a great job drawing it, and showing the boning, and giving a somewhat velvety texture to the material covering it.

As far as "vision" goes, I notice a couple places where you have chosen to deviate somewhat from the costume that Yaya is wearing in her photos: the boots going over the pants, the pants being a somewhat lighter color than the rest of the ensemble, and the jacket appears to be styled differently, with the waist having more of the appearance of an old-fashioned corset than the more futuristic design on the one Yaya is wearing. I like all of these changes; I like the greater variation in shades of black and gray that your choice to lighten the shade of the pants introduces; I like the contrast between the black boots and the more silver-looking pants, and I think was a good decision to break up the uniformity by having the boots go over her knees instead of having them only be visible from the ankles down.

I also really like the composition; the position you've chosen to draw her in is a very visually interesting one that gives the viewer the impression that you've snapshotted her in the middle of some heroic action.

The only thing I think is lacking is any sense of where she is in space -- you've just got her in front of a blank background, with the only shadows being the ones cast by her feet where they make contact with the floor.

Seeing how long this took you, though, I can hardly blame you for not wanting to draw a whole detailed scene around her!

And really, the blankness kind of works for her. It adds to the stark, efficient, clinical vibe the movie version of the character already has, and it also works on a symbolic level since in the movie she has no will of her own beyond carrying out Stryker's orders. Like Wolverine, she too has been stripped bare of her self and her humanity by the Weapon X Program.
