Thanks again for the comments and your support.
Before posting a new image I want to talk a bit more about my work on this bloodsports. At the beginning I had in mind painting a couple of pages of a comic/graphic novel, that's why I wanted to know very well my character (to draw him from different angles) and I was thinking on other stuff around this IP: the futuristic city where the action takes place, the Maxx's company, a mech with a program installed by his dead wife that try to kill any girl who goes close to Maxx, a hot chick Maxx was going to save from a villain, etc.
Even being at the end a comic work, I wanted the development to be like concept art for a game, that's why I wanted to paint the design sheet for Maxx, for the Mech, a shot of the city environment, etc.
Too much stuff to do in only two weeks with my lack of experience and two non productive days in between for some reason.
I noticed another problem in my work flow, I usually get stuck just thinking, thinking for hours on ideas, recreating the world I'm going to create in my mind, but not in a canvas, and I need to fix that, I shoup have less fear to just put my ideas on a canvas.
ANYWAY, there are only 4 days till the deadline so I changed a bit the presentation of my entry, but the concept of the world is still there. So I'm going to paint an illustration, with most of the elements I had in mind, so you can see in these composition studies how I'm going to include Maxx, the Mech, the girl, the villain and the city.
My favs are 3, 4, 7 and 8. I like 8 because I can show the Mech design better, but it has lack of background, and they like the other 3 as well but they're similar and I can't pick only one yet.
I'm gonna take some sleep now, and hopefully tomorrow with fresh eyes and some feedback here I can pick one :D
