She's much cuter than a real Met, and not just because she's not shooting a spread of bullets and scurrying in forward.

She does look cute, though! I like her big, cheerful smile, and the bright, cheerful eyes! A lot of your art has characters with intense, piercing eyes, which I love, and I love these bright, more open, cheery eyes, too.

Her pose is fun! I like what you did with her hands/arms, having her clasp them together stretched back behind her. I've found myself drawing similar poses to this a lot lately as I doodle figures in a new way lately, but I find I never know what to do with the arms. I like the arm pose because it's simple, and believable and more interesting than just stretched out to the sides -- and it fits with the cute, fun pose really well.

I like the coloring, of course, Your shading and attention to lighting, even on a "doodle" like this is really strong. I like some of the color choices you made -- Metools are noting more than yellow helmets with eyes and legs in the games, but I like the licenses you took in creating a palette for a more complicated human interpretation. The brown sleeves and socks fit really well with the worker-themed colors, but I really like how the blue hair and green eyes make her face pop. You took a simple, cartoony character that's cute in one way and found a way to make it pop in a different, dazzling, sweet way. The bursts of color don't compete with the overall color theme, but add a burst of fun and cheerful energy.

Oh! And I like the outfit -- it fits really well. I've never thought of what a Metool might look like as a human, but I feel like your creative choices for her outfit are "right." You put a lot of thought in re-interpreting the idea of the character, rather than re-imagining or re-creating. And I think it ended up looking great. : )
