Hey ppl,
here's an image I sketched up over a couple of nights recently.
Let me know what you think of it.

Cheers, A.

both their bodys are done awesome-like, but the guys head is a bit wonky. not much personality to it. the eyes are far too white, i think, and the background kind of clashes with everything else (too bright?).

edit- spelling

Thanks Icannon,
I already had one go at changing the male figure's head, with limited success. I think the emphasis was always going to be on the woman in any case....

Hey!
That's pretty cool. You seem to really have a grasp on form. But you should think more on how the forms react to the lightsource. Thats where your picture lack the most - there's no defined lightsource.
The posing is very stiff and makes the charaters look dead and doll-like. It might have something to do with eyes, like icannon mentioned, but it's not just that. Your anatomy also seems to be pretty solid. Another tip could be to put in different hues also. That would help live up things and also help you get rid of the kinda plastic feel the painting has right now.
Keep it up.
,Boom

dear, i though that was a render in the first glimpse...
awesome, i really dig the kind you shaped out the forms. it's not really painted, it's more shaped or 2d-sculpted

[edit] i know what looks that terribly wrong in the guys head: the eyes are way too high. the eys usually are in the middle of he fasce when seen directly from the front. [/edit]

what makes them 'sci fi' again?

Vesuvius:
what makes them "sci-fi" is the radical architecture, alien landscape, and far-out
flying transporter pods - all of which exist in my mid, and none of which made it into the picture!

Good point.

It could have looked more like this if I'd been less lazy and finished it:
