Oh my sweet jesus your style is like the stuff of my art dreams.
And please do not take this in a bad way because you are REALLY good.
But I can just see how good you are going to get in time, seriously

Okay, I know you didn't ask for a critique or anything but I am procrastinating so I wrote a lot. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, either. Go ahead and ignore it if you want, I'm not even a good artist or anything.
This is really eye-popping because of the intense facial expressions. It's a really cool pose, too, especially on Meenah's part. The pure motion shown by her depiction is really energizing. This is a great way to depict an uppercut, and probably not one I would have chosen myself. Roxy's punching arm looks a bit awkward towards the wrist, but probably only because I stared at it for so long.
Part of what impresses me so much about this is that it's clearly traditional art. I understand that you most likely had limited supplies and colors because of that (Not like digital art, where you can use absolutely any color in the world with the click of a mouse). The subtle shading does add a nice touch. I feel like the background could have potentially been much more action-y, like maybe more stripes at varying sizes. I do like the color choice, though, because the light shade doesn't draw attention away from the focus of the image.
I was looking at your gallery to see if you did digital art after I saw this. Why? Because I see a lot of potential for this in digital art. Cameras wash out color, and even scanners and photoshop can't get a picture onto the computer exactly the same as it looks in person. Despite this, your art is still great, even with the handicap of off colors. Your traditional art all looks AWESOME. Especially that picture of the space core, that's probably my favorite. I really, really like your style! Like, with all of the skinniness of people, big eyes, and especially all of those super duper thin lines. They make everything look all SHARP!!
Your digital art looks...kind of inconsistent? Like, some pictures look pretty cool and others look like awkward beginner art, which is not what you do, you do awesome art like this here beaut. It's really a half-and-half sort of thing!! Really, really, really inconsistent!! Which is quite odd. So, good luck I guess? I don't knoooow.
tl;dr-- I like your picture a lot, especially because it's traditional art, but why is your traditional art so much better than your digital art?
