Thanks, David!

I really really like this! Those colors are really gorgeous and the composition works well. I think the text of "removable helmet" could use some sort of different treatment. The font is fine, but the angle and it being in perspective seems a little random. Maybe some sort of bubble for it? Something similar to this?: http://images.comiccollectorlive.com/covers/d5b/d5b77db4-9e5d-4f94-887f-a6d6a5822f26.jpg

Just an idea, not sure if you thought of trying that.

Thanks, Jessica! I considered what you said and you were right, it felt like it was floating without purpose. And after speaking to Alex Negrea about it I made a few changes and added a few things, as well.

This is my final comp, including all my studies.

Thanks, man. I your sketches are coming out bad ass. You've really got some great draftsmanship skills. Good luck on the final!
