First of all, I really think this is a cool work. I know my rating doesn't support that very much, but I'll explain that in a minute.
Vision And Originality: I gave a 2,5 simply because there's nothing here that sets it appart, not in terms of colour use, background or even provocative expression. It's a nice profile portrait (even though the proportions of the face don't quite match up to the original Liara, I still like it's cartoony vibe).
Technique: Even though it's not at all bad, the face could be more refined in terms of shading (I recommend starting off with a rough shade test, and enhancing detail on a new separate layer. That way, if you fcuk things up, it's a lot easier to correct). Another thing I have to point out for osd the sketchiness of the outlines. Man, I know it's hard to get that clean look, and getting it right on one continuous stroke, I never managed to do it myself. But it's something we both need to pay more attention to. Though, if this was simply meant as a quick doodling, as you say in your description, then I don't think you should request critiques. They are meant to be thourough, and they should only be done when you devote yourself to something. But that's just my opinion.
