Love the first few movies and the new TV show. I need to go back and watch these again!

Sigourney Weaver is a badass!

You really captured the “Fuck this place.” in her expression.

Wonderful palette. Love the diverse color choices and the deep value range. Vivid while still also very stark and shadowy.

Thank you! I'm trying something different and wasn't sure if it landed. This is encouraging!

You were firing on all cylinders on this piece. The only negative criticism I can offer is that the helmet looks huge on her - but it's been a hot minute since I've seen the movie. Weaver's facial proportions are spot on, though.

I love how you used all corners of the color wheel, but also a very wide range of saturated and desaturated colors. Also think you leveraged brush strokes extremely well here, to emphasize her curly hair and the blurriness of the reflected computer displays.

I'd love to see more of your work with color palettes. It seems you did landscapes and still life in the past, but they haven't given you an opportunity to work with colors a lot. I think you could do some really good portraiture as well.

Good luck! 😁👍

Great criticism, thank you. And this is the most I've pushed a reference from its original. I used one of the movie posters from Alien as reference.
