This is first rate, I love how the Major came out. The green eyes are an interesting touch, it's not a color you usually see associated with Kusanagi's eyes. In Stand Alone Complex they were red, and something else in the Mamoru Oshii film... blue maybe, or purple? Green works for her though.
Batou seems a bit too intimidating in this one though. I don't much like how so much of his face (and the rest of him, really) are shrouded in shadow. He's a happy go lucky bro, kind of a goofball. Sure he's got a bit of a hard edge sometimes, but it only rarely comes out to play. Here he looks more scary than badass.
Regardless of those reservations, I like. You really did a great job with the Major here. The gun is right, the hair is right, the expression is right, the physique is right... it's all right! You fully conveyed the confident, self-assured badass that is Major Motoko Kusanagi. The background, I think, is fine. Very often, less is more. Personally, the colors look fine to me.

Better in greyscale. Soz. Better chose of colors perhaps, like not colors from the Flash palette.

Personally, I think it looks more like the movie,
I kinda think you should have colored the lips pink though.
other than that, it's a %#$'n masterpeice.

Hey, the backgrounds in the background! Motoko and Batou look real mean.
Nice job!

I like the colored version better than the pencil sketch. The color really brings out the details in the piece where they would blend with the rest of the drawing in pencil. And the simple background gives a nice focus to the characters in the foreground. *grins*
Peace,
The Big Huge Cyborg Dude, Batou

This is a great piece all around, Batou looks remarkably imposing back there.
Only problem Aries can see is that the Major's eyes are violet, na green.
Perhaps she's undercover? It'd explain the threads...

Very good, very much in the style of the manga. And don't worry about the background- if had been more detailed, it would have detracted from the Major and Batou. As is, very, very good.

The back ground is great. It gives an idea of where they are without taking focus away from the characters. Very good job on this its just awesome.

The simple background is great, it sets the scene but doesn't draw the focus away from the characters. I love the coloring, espescially the sharp contrast of shadow and highlights you've used sometimes.

I think madlion is right the background works fine. You did a very good job of colouring this piece, I like it equally as much as the3 original pencil drawing.

Cool beans.. sometimes with comics, it's best to have the backgroud be sutble or simple, especially if you want your focus to be what's in the foreground (your characters). Good colors, good style!

Looks sweet. Styled on the GITS movie, rather than Shirow's style from the manga? Nice job :3

Very nice illustration and awsome backgrond. I think the focus should be on the 2 characters centered, too much detail can take away from a pic, that's what I think anyway..Great Job!
