The painting/brushwork looks fine its the design/body I don't Like.

[Nemesis 666]

I like the airbrushing and design, just not the colours. My choice would have been orange(white), green or red(blue) then the black.

Twist, good design and execution on your first job. The torn portion looks great.

To make things a bit easier next time when doing drop shadows, pick up a transparent paint. Window tint or transparent charcoal smoke are great for this. You only need to do about 2 coats of the stuff. The point of it is to soften up the color so it doesn't look so stark on a lighter background. Even one thin layer of window tint will show up with a slightly wispy effect to it without being overly dark.

Reason I bring this up, unless you have the control that Adrcracing has, stay away from the solid pigments for shadows. Make life easier and go with the transparent stuff. To make your shadows a bit tighter, aim your brush on the inside edge of your graphic and let the overspray create your shadow for you. Great painters like Cosmo and CharlieB use this technique with fantastic results.

All in all, great job! Good color choice and a great design to boot.
