Awesome colors. I'd say that it's good enough for submission as is, but there's always room for improvement. The highlights on the dark side seem odd. They're too bright, and they look like specular highlights, but the lightsource shouldn't be able to shine directly on that part. |

I do like where you are going with this, The use of White is quite harsh, unless the gas mask is made entirely out of high gloss glass it. the leather of the mask should be reflecting with a light brown, and the reflections shouldn't be as strong as the glass, otherwise the mind interprets it as made from the same material, also I like the duller reflection on the shadow side of the mask, unfortunately because if the size you have made this reflection it this is where your eye looks first and gives the illusion that that eye is bigger than the one on the right. and the deep red shouldn't go completely around the left eye, but after all that I do like it, keep up the good work. |

I have made very small changes since first version. Now this version will be submited. Thanks you both guys :) Your comments helped me. Morbid_curios: I know, but when I was creating this I want to give an post-apocalyptic atmosphere so thatīs reason for strong light. But when I look at it for longer time it doesnīt look like high gloss glass for me :). Of course I removed deep red, and I eroded it(literally) it didnīt belong to it .:)  |

I think that the mouth area's lighting is little off:
 It's unclear whether lighting is coming from below or the right. Perhaps define the 2 parts are seperate, e.g:
 also, quick edit of the white, it does seem a bit harsh. I've always thought of post-apocalyptic as being more oraange/red/some other dull, warm colour:

I don't know what it is. I seem to like the white light too lol. You know what would be interesting? If you had the reflection of a mushroom cloud or something reflecting on the mask. |

| Keeper-of-Styx: Yeah, thatīs great idea with that mushroom cloud. Maybe I will do it. That what I have there now should be split glass from headshot or granade fragment :D or something like that... |
