I think taking the girl out was a good choice. She was drawn well but didn't fit the composition. What you've got now is looking much closer to finished. The city silhouette and background gradient is working nicely.
A couple things, I'm not sure if its intended but it kind of appears like the right side of the guys head is being sliced off because of the large white strip across it.
Also the gradient starting on the mans hand, perhaps try and make the lighter color in that gradient a little darker. His gun doesn't look quite as menacing at the moment and its starting to blend with the background similar to the way the girl was.
I like how the bg is a cooler colored gradient while the forground gradient isn't. maybe push that further and make the gradient warmer shades of gray.
Wow- another awesome crit- thank you Susie! Paperdemon has given me the BEST crit on this
I've replaced the old version of this with the final version, and I've heavily taken yours and Wildekardes advice in consideration (along with 2 hours of comment responding everywhere else- omg- I'm so honoured that I got so much feedback on this *u* )
I hope the latest version of this is more up to spec ^^ It's going to the printer tomorrow. Should come out great! Cross fingers that it sells thoguh I've wanted to do an actiony poster for a long while ^^
Sorry I've taken so long to return this comment- Me too Y!g were all "Cool pic!" and DA were all "Yeah! Do that to it!". PD actually looked at stuff I didn't consider ^^ I'm very thankful for that

Excellent work!
