This is a really nice looking piece, Exo. I like the composition in general, and you've really got the dull glow of both her armor, and the ashes on the cigarette and paper looking excellent. I also think it's worth noting that you've done a great job of making her look very feminine without exaggerating her feminine qualities - it's her pose and facial features that really stand out, and succeed in creating that. This makes everything look very natural and believable. There's so much art out there that takes masculine and feminine looks to such extremes that it just ends up being void of any real creativity(like showing a full body shot of her with a massive chest and hips under her armor). It's a testament to your skill that you haven't done that. Well done, man. Well done.
Cory mentioned that they changed the concept... well I hope they made the chest area more armor-like ... I can't stand a fictional world when the males are wearing cool, functional looking armor but the females are wearing some thin piece of crap specially crafted to look like ###### (or worse, actually BARING the ###### thus inviting her enemies to stab/shoot her there).
The "make room for the ######" part of the armor should be smoothly cylinder-shaped, not precision-crafted to fit exactly around the breasts. Make a functional looking, mass produced armor of average proportions and leave it to the imagination how big her mammaries really are. If the boobs are too big they'll simply be squished and dispersed a bit around the cylinder-area (and no, it doesn't hurt or anything).
that's my 2 cents anyway... and probably every woman's

And she is looking like she had a successful battle against some alien scum before, maybe you could indicate that
somehow?
but if you dont care to put more work in that painting, its looking still very nice as it is now :)
