super soldier code name Chimera front back side

Personally I think that this is wonderful and am worried that i may not be able to give a proper critique or maybe a biased one - but here goes

The model and textures look very solid, nothing looks like it wasn't done properly or like any of the geometry is broken or anything like that so the technique, the skills, the technical aspects of this piece i find difficult to critique and provide suggestions to for fixing or improving. if there were anything to improve it would be in the design aspects of the super soldier

Vision - the theme and idea is very clear and concise to me, he's some sort of a soldier according to the title a super soldier. This gives me the impression of something like the chief in halo. but what makes the solider so super, is it their armor, equipment and weapons? and how seasoned is this soldier? they look all clean and crisp there doesn't seem to be any weathering or battle damage. but to be fair there is most likely a good reason for that - a presentation of the soldier - so i don't think its fair to criticize for things like weathering details

Originality - Well there's a saying - 'form follows function' and given that they're some sort of futuristic soldier that restrains the design to things like futuristic and military-ish equipment. you couldn't have something like a character dressed up as a school girl or anything else (unless it was something wacky or unrealistic or had some other explanation) but i had to look at it a few times and read the title "super soldier" before my brain made the connection to halo so i cant really criticize that. the kind of impression they game me was that they're like a henchman or foot solider or cannon fodder. like they were a common type of soldier like there are hundreds like them

Technique - er ... didn't i comment on that already? again demonstrates strong sets of skill, technical skills, and technique. if there were anything to criticize here it would be design. i look at parts like the back of the legs and even side of arms. there seem to be hydraulics laced through the suit to augment strength. but it makes me wonder just how bulky is this suit? where does the suit end and the man inside the suit begin?

Impact - ... i believe my initial response to this was "damn ...

ok that's it i quit

*runs away and cries"

Overall, technically speaking its pretty well done. it's clear who and what they are and that there's some sort of specific purpose for this piece hence the clean design and the ... (whats the term i'm searching for, posing?). its pretty clear who or what they are, some sort of futuristic soldier but didn't really make the connection that he's a 'super soldier' or related them to halo initially i guess things like that are difficult to depict unless maybe if your comparing them to soldiers in the same universe

I'd give it a 4.1, can i provide that kind or rating here? I don't critique often and I'm not sure how that works
