Painter experiment

This one is some months old.  It was me experimenting with Painter X and testing out my wacom intuos.  I'm still by and large a tradition artist, I just haven't had an idea that I could properly do completely digital.  Mostly because I'm still crap in colors.  For this I wanted to go for an Andrew Jones vibe, who was the head concept artist for the fabulous Metroid Prime series.  Honestly, go look at his stuff, total art boners everywhere.

I like the general composition and overall Tron-ness of the pic, and I'd like to expand upon the ideas introduced here.

If you haven't noticed yet, I like fucking around with sharp negative spaces, especially around the head area.  I don't know why.  I just loooove doing that.
