I know it's not SciFi but it is my first complete project in Illustrator.
Crits welcome.

not bad... don't see too many pos/neg works these days, its really fallen out of style

I know, it really is a shame. High contrast images are the best. I recently did an art project for class that was a 3 dimensional framed work of a white soldier over a black background of Iraq. It is what started my new found obsession. Adding color ruins the effect.

With the need for clarity in interfaces you'd think this style would make a resurgence as simple and clear icons. The picture is nice I like what you've depicted and what you've simplified, do some more!

Good job! You can tell instantly what you're looking at, without a great amount of detail!

The smaller preview version looks better than the actual version imo because the details are squashed together. When viewing the large image the lines are too 'smooth' and there isn't enough information to translate that much real estate into something more aestheticly pleasing. It doesn't mean I dont recognise it when viewing the large one, I do, but I am saying that if there was a bit more detail, especially in the torso area where it gets a bit 'mooshy', I think it would be beneficial. Good work
