The shape of the reflex is wrong.

Better?

Better?

I see no real different. make the outer part of the doted sight more round at the top, it looks bad right there.

[Joshflighter]

The handles are kind of fugly imo. I also don't like the scope thing. It looks to tall, again, imo.

[rossmum]

I dunno about you, but I don't fancy holding onto that grip for any extended period of time...

[rossmum]

[Con]

The clouds are way too spongy, if you know what I mean.

The clouds are ok, just need more depth, you need to establish a point of light then give the clouds shadows wherever they face the opposite direction, or where ever the bases of "hills" are formed by the clouds. You need to show depth, which can be done by making the planes that are further away more the color of the atmosphere, aka the color of the sky. Also go look at some tutorials on lighting, shadows actually sort of tend to bleed the color of the environment, while in the light the things true color is shown. So your shadows would be a mix of brown and dark orange, and the places in sunlight would be a golden copper tone. Since I have no idea what style you are going for, I can not give anymore cit on the type of brush strokes and other things to use.

i neglected to mention it's an edited screenshot

i tweaked the lighting on the mosquitoes and the colours over the whole pic, plus did the flak bursts

clouds are 100% ingame, although i see how they could use some shadowing
