I really like the red/oranges used on this one, much different from the others I have seen. Only thing I would say is it might have been cool if you had put some of the orange/reddish color in the hair where it is coming off the body area (although there may be some that I just am not seeing from the angle of the pics.) I wish I could paint this well!
I'm not sure this is because of snipers, more because it's a 'simple' airbrush job with some edge highlights. It's not bad, rather a very effective use of two techniques to get a solid result. But it's not overly amazing either. I think it's a solid 7-8 though.
