Whoa, thank you guys for all the kind feedback! Yes I'm still hanging my head against a wall over the composition, hahaha T_T I'll post some in-progress sketches here. Help and comments much appreciated.
Leaning towards ditching the rather forced "action pose" for now and show more personality/story. Still trying to decide if it's an honest decision or a cop-out. I mean, ideally I'd be able to do both... not at this moment of my skill level, probably...
^leaning towards one of these at the moment.
