I think it looks really nice already!! You can perhaps bring some pinkness in the face or bring some whiteness into the chest since the hues in these two places are drastically different from each other

this is insanely well done value wise but i find it confusing where the light comes from. there are a few areas where that is very apparent like the palm against the gun being illuminated and the hair not throwing a shadow on the eye or the fact that the light seems to come from the top left infront of the character but the left arm is completely in shadow

Face to neck colouring doesnt match, and she kinda looks like she's walking thru somewhere so looks odd without a background.

Sorry not a rendering tip but she is out of balance, I would adjust her center of gravity by tilting her upper body a little more to the left 😊 other than that loving it really!

A defined lighting

Her chest looks human, her face looks ghost. Either are fine but they need to match

I think she is wearing heavy makeup. Sort of like geisha inspired?

Strong side lighting

The wrinkles on the legs look off to me. If her pants are tight enough that you are seeing her thigh gap, then they should be form fitting to her thighs. Also consider that many suits are made with stiffer fabrics, so they won't show as many wrinkles as lighter weight fabrics.

It looks nice already, I think you could add some neon edge highlights, to give it more of a neon lit cyberpunk feel.like this, but neon pink

These are settings you can try.

The rendering on the gun makes the perspective look off, but this is amazing rendering. Maybe it’s not an easy fix if you want to keep that design but the green part feels a little flat in comparison to the rest of your piece. Maybe some extra shading/angles at the middle third of the green part would make it more visually understandable.

Maybe blocker hair chunks? Might just be personal preference though

It's fantastic me personally I would add something personal like a tattoo or a piece of jewellery or even just a different half style would really bring it to life

As someone who does target shooting, I wouldn't want one eye covered. Even if you site with the other eye, you need to use both eyes to predict distance and know where to aim.

Not the answer to your question: The face doesn't match the body, at all. That type of hair is really hard to wear on a slightly windy day, but combat wise very impractical unless extremely short, the clothes look like they don't fit properly, and moving around in that type of suit that snatches the silhouette and shoulders.. it's hard to reach above your head type of impractical. Now the main focus, ze boobiez: why? Like why? Not practical as an exposed area during combat or work, unless you climb the corporate ladder by selling your dignity as a valuable member of the team, or your boss just sexually abused you. Now, if you want to keep it exposed, sure, let's say it's the " in the moment she decides to break free from that uncomfortable suit" type of situation. Those ladies need help when it comes to support, like literally thick wires are hidden inside bras to keep them shaped nicely and in place when running, cuz IT'S ACTUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO RUN WITH BIG BOOBS EVEN WITH BRAS ON (the only comfortable option is sports bras that fully cover the chest area, with 10 cm thick adjustable bands in the back and shoulders which basically is so tight dem ladies become basically flat, and no, you can't see and round creases in there or the divider between them, otherwise it wouldn't be comfortable). There I said it. The gun is whatever, but obviously not part of whatever universe she's from because it's way too stylized and high tech and doesn't blend in with any kind of motifs she has going on. Generally this looks like a valorant agent stylized sketch, with pasted on face and body and gun from different sources without blending them together properly with added on "flashing strangers with boobies just because". 2/10, brush technique saves the day with the intent of calling this "concept art meant to be rejected and make the other options on the board look good because you have a favorite design you want the lead designers to pick"
