Hi Jan. About the D.Va fan art piece, I think it's a problem of how you stitched the figure together more than a problem of foreshortening.
If I decided the upper chest area as the true reference point, the neck would seem sliding off the center of the torso. The lower chest looks like it has a different twist comparing it to the upper chest. They should be working as a singular unit. The arm holding the gun looks uncomfortable stretched across the chest, which in turn, the other arm that's cocking the gun will also look unrealistic.
I hope you don't mind my red lining:

I didn't bother to give tips from the waist down! I did a lot of iterations and I just made it look awkward or made it too unfaithful to the original pose.
Hope this helps! And if there's anything that I said or done seems ridiculous, then completely disregard!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
