L O V E | A T H E N A

First impression:

The style is what first captured my attention. I love how you did the muscles in her arms and shoulders, plus the way you draw feet is solid and difficult not to notice and appreciate. What I feel weakens the piece is when I zoom in and notice that the bottom - under ware doesn't wrap around her waist convincingly enough, unless it really is half an inch thick. Otherwise this is a great Pin-Up over all.

Vision
Based on the muscle build, it's easy to tell that she must do kick boxing or capoeira. If not a martial art, then free running (parkour). From the look on her facial expression she becomes intriguing and mysterious. This can make those who see her interested in learning more about her, but approaching her would pose a challenge to the weak willed.

Originality
Achieving something original is like finding the holy grail. My only problem with this piece is that my immediate though is Elena from Street Fighter. If it wasn't for the fact that her head is of someone else I would immediately think of that character. However since she is following a specific type of theme it's really hard not to do something that has been done before.

Technique
This was your strongest and it shows a lot in many of your other works. The clean line art is what makes this a very enjoyable piece to look at. Other than that, anatomy is great. The only thing that concerns me is her stomach, I'm guessing that it's because of her underware it loses form.

Impact
Her eyes are what bring my attention the most and it makes me eager to know more about her. She looks like a character that I would love to follow in a comic or cartoon and that is what makes this piece great. The only thing to watch out for is the colour. Because of her mystique and intrigue the mood was lost due to the lack of colours to bring it out. Greater contrasts between her and the back ground will save her from disappearing into each other.

What to look out for:

Your hands and feet drawings are solid and well composed. Just watch out when placing her left hand on her hip as it doesn't sit well enough on it.
The stomach could use a few more shadows to make it work better, but this is not a big problem as it could have been exactly what you were going for.
Left shoulder needs a shadow to help the foreshortening.

Personally I give this piece a 7.5 out of 10.
