Love your design in post 23# !
I can see improvement in your figures.
one crit if you dont mind: the gasmask portrait is a bit hard to read, the greyscale design isn't bad ,then you went really dark to near black with no clear lighting.

possible solution could be look up some gasmask refrence and do a study to be more infomed when coming up with ideas. think about stuff like functionality..where is the filtering system? how or why do the glasses give of light? i dont know if you want to persue conceptual art as a career, if so and if there is a large focus on scifi it really helps in the long run to be pretty well informed on all the tech stuff. Ga zo door!

@Wohuan. I use Maya, but my 3d skills are very basic.
@Lumens. Thanks for the crit. I'm currently doing some long termed study as I think I've to improve on all fronts. Dankje!

My latest project. WIP. Currently working on the frontal view and a design for the main weapon (probably a staff).

I love the last picture in post #5 and the Silhouettes in #15; really solid! Also the naked cultist lady is awesome.

My only critique is similar to what Lumens said. Some of your compositions are very dark, making them difficult to follow; like the gas mask and the last one in #33. You can still utilize your values while going for that dark, foreboding shadowy look.
