Cool beans. I can't believe no one commented on this. I really like the huge space suit idea. He'd look cooler if he were further back in the suit, covered by harsh shadows, and if the glass had more reflections on it.

Somehow the usuage of saturated colour in this seems to work. The strength of the red in the guy's face and the hints of magenta in the top of the glass canopy aren't colours that you'd expect to see in a space scene, but they all seem to work pretty well.

I know it's almost opposite to all the realisticly-coloured works that make it to this forum, but it looks like it could really go somewhere with experimenting.

The colour work is too difficul to crit, but you maybe could try doing another in with more careful brushwork - freeform strokes on the faces and organic parts and carefully deliberate strokes on the machinery?

Hey I like the colours and style a lot!
I especially like how you handled the transparent dome thing. It really does look reflective and glass-like.
