Hey, so in these steps I'm doing exploration and trying to extract shapes from stuff I like. The exploration process starts in the top left and then becomes more concrete in descending order in the page. Next is a really tight line drawing.. (too tight for this stage imo...and then a looser line drawing..). Let me know what you think! I'm open to crits.
This was two days ago work. I decided to enhance the lighting and for the colors to be more graphic along with the lighting. Just more drama and mood and really refining what I'm after in who I visualized the character to be. Stoked. It's really coming together. Can't wait to show what I've done today. Again, input is greatly appreciated if anyone has anything to say. Thank you in advance.
This is lovely so far.
I like the movement/colours of the illustration. The design looks like its well balanced. Looking forward to your progress. 
Sick progression! 
Wow! Nice one Jmob! Great composition, and awesome emphasis where needed!
@s-stark Thanks so much. I really appreciate the encouragement!
@jfan wooo thanks man! It's been fun.
@volaix Thanks yo! I'm so pumped to hear that!
I'm super excited to execute well on this. Here's some changes that took forever.. some changes are really subtle but are helping me problem solve some things. Any input would be great! !!! gogogogo guys!
Hey guys, I decided not to go super saturated and cut the background out. ...but I need your guys' input! I can't figure out which one works better.. gah. Let me know and help me out!! haha Any kind of advice would be great and very, very appreciated.

I think I like this one more so I sharpened it up and blurred it in areas to enhance the focus. 
@marc Hey there, is this image too cropped to the point where I'd be disqualified?
It's totally OK if I'm needing to change it to show the complete figure.
Hey man, just poppin' in to say that I like the pose you've got so far! The foreshortening you got there is very extreme, but very well executed.
That said, be mindful of your anatomy. Her right arm is coming out of an odd spot on her shoulder. I think moving it closer to where her armpit would be by the bottom part of her pauldron it should fix it.
Keep going dude! I'm looking forward to seeing where you take your design.
