~MASTERWARHERO of Krystal wearing her alternative costume in a perilous mission. 
Krystal's really in a bind here, and I love the blast/splash effects and foreground blurring that adds to the intensity of the action. How you manage to paint the water so well, I'll never know. There's a superb level of detail on her staff, as well as everything else in the image. You sir, are a GOD! Besides, your work is vibrant and full of life, which is something that I'm working on still.

Now, onward to the overall appearance. The splash is very realistic, as is the ripple alongside it. The appearance of the flash of Krystal's staff on the water is also very original. It is, in fact, so original that I have only ever seen you able to do it. I also find the fact that Krystal is covered in dirt realistic, as she would come out clean after being involved in a rockfall.
This is the last thing I have to say is the few problems I have with this. I know she is running away from enemies, but she still has an awkward pose. My main problem is with the staff though. She is holding it with her left arm fully extended out, meaning she would only get one shot off at an enemy before she would have to re-adjust her arms to be able to shoot another enemy behind her. Being that she has combat training, she wouldn't hold it like that.
The second problem is the originality. Krystal is almost always depicted as a damsel in distress with no help in sight. I find that the originality of Krystal herself and the enemies around her evens it out a bit.
Taking all of this into consideration, I would say this is a great piece that is on par with all of your other artwork.
Making the background more smudge-y really aids in the emphasis of the foreground. Also, the reflections in the water have the perfect combination of light, shadow, and ripple effect from Krystal's feet.
I think that despite the uniform not being canon, this new uniform is better. It serves an actual tactical purpose with the side packs, rather than the Assault uniform only to make her look pretty... Good job!
