Probably just happens because I dislike writing long paragraphs which no one will ever read as well. Leaving some creative space for the viewer makes it a shared experience - just as I was creative, the viewer needs to be at the same time with little information given. It's probably far more focused on the artwork itself that way instead of all the other "noisy" stuff like descriptions etc.
TL;DR yeah, I agree, I'd like to see more of that as well on this site!

Ah, sorry... a minor shame because I am doing a lot of post-processing stuff on the downscaled file (original resolution is about 3500px height), so using a full resolution crop at 1080p would certainly look different and also lose some bits at the top and bottom.
Still great to hear you'd like to use it as a wallpaper, thank you!

Let me be the seventh person to say that this piece looks all kinds of epic, man! And I hope you wont mind if I also say that, compared to a similar themed piece you did earlier this year in the form of T-1000 when this universe of yours was much newer... well I definitely think your colouring and lighting skills have improved a good amount in just a few months!
An epic scale background that has interesting stuff to look at wherever you cast your eyes, from the stormy clouds to the floating pillars all around to the one that seems to be Miss Space Raptor's fascination, to the snowy tundra to the tower reflections in the water... I think you did a great job here, honestly! Perhaps the only thing that I feel could have made the background even better would be some cool sunlight shadows being cast by some of the columns... but it's far from a problem in the slightest bit!
And as for the space raptor herself, I will happily reiterate that I think you have come up with some very fascinating clothes and styles for them! Again, in comparison to T-1000 I think you did a great job of making an outfit that, just 'cause it isn't colourful, isn't lacking in diverse shapes and shades to break things up. Also... having been privy to the pre-shaded version, you did a great job of toning down lady's skin colour to make it not quite so stark... AND added your fancy glow effects to the various bits o' tech that rather nicely draws the eye around! I like that a lot, definitely!
Honestly I think this piece is overall a job rather well done! You've taken and expertly realised very interesting and intriguing concept [just look at everyone here raving about the subject matter], and showcased a good range and variety of skills in your background ability, character design ability, and colouring and shading ability. And whilst it didn't come particularly easy... I hope you can rest assured you did well here man!
