My entry from Uplift Universe event. Took me some time. I'm pretty happy with the colors but I'd like to hear some comments and critics about the rest

Biggest task was to find proper contruction and gesture for hand(s). I hope it's not so bad.

Short story (longer in my WIP thread):
People fight arm to arm with bigger and stronger aliens. Alien nature is frightening but they're good inside. People are affraid of them anyway, they have to fight evil enemy - third race that wants to rule whole universe, that's why the alliance is made between two races - good alien and human.
What we have here is great,experienced alien leader - captain and his soldiers - human & alien soldiers, they're about to do some movement (searching the planet for allied race - perhaps going to another planet), they stopped to find the strategy (people waiting for an order).
