Let's start out by saying that this is a GORGEOUS piece- beautiful clean lines, good light and shadow with delicious deep black points, and the detailing is superb. Great Maker that is some luscious-looking hair!

The only real issues are with the figure. Her face is lovely but vacant- there's no emotion displayed at all, and it's jarring next to the beauty of the gun. Cloth, even tight cloth, does NOT cling to breasts that way- it stretches over, drapes. For us to see the underside of her cleavage like this she'd have to have actually tucked the shirt up underneath her bra. The drape on the rest of the shirt is fantastic, so I know you can do this beautifully. Which brings us to the next issue: either that shirt is very tight and has a band we can't see supporting her breasts (like a sports bra top) or there's a bra we're not seeing. Large breasts are heavy, and generally unsupported breasts don't have cleavage because they'll follow the contours of the chest beneath them. Additionally, being a busty person and engaging in intense activity (like running around shooting people) can be EXTRAORDINARILY painful; natural breasts are essentially suspended from the clavicle and chest muscles by connective tissue called Cooper's ligaments, and if you don't support the breast tissue those ligaments can SNAP. You obviously get the bit about breasts having weight- the curve of her chest is a beautiful, natural-looking slope, and you've clearly put the majority of the heft where it belongs! Just either toss her a bra, or a strap underneath her breasts to support these things, or something (small underbust corsets work great for this kind of thing and don't ruin your aesthetic!) Her ribcage looks like it might be incredibly long and kind of weirdly projected forward, but it's hard to tell.

Her pose is a little extreme- it makes it look like her back goes on forever- but I can't tell what's up without her legs. If she were running, this would make sense; if she's just standing, I'm worried she'll tip over.

Finally, I'm confused by what's going on with her shoulders. Given how her torso is slightly turned towards us (or we wouldn't see the outlines of both breasts) we should be able to see a small sliver of her right shoulder/arm through her hair. But that's a much lesser issue to the left arm. How is it connected? It looks like you have hair going right through the space where her trapezius muscle should be. Is the shoulder an armor piece? If so, how is it staying on? Does she have a prosthetic/tech arm? Where's the connection for that? Clarify how it's attached and it'll really unify the piece.

Again, EXTREMELY good work- I'm definitely following you to see what else you do in the future!
