If you're an artist looking to build your portfolio by doing free work, there are plenty of libre / open source projects out there where the programmers are donating their time for free as well. I would recommend choosing one of those instead.
Furthermore, if they can't afford to pay you $10-15/hour (a reasonable rate for a student artist), it's likely that they don't have the budget to see their project through to completion either ... and if they can afford to be paying you those rates, they should.
I tried to take into account all the C&C I've gotten on this. In particularl, I've tried to make her pose a bit more dynamic, because it's pretty flat in the other. Note that pose and proportions are intended to be a bit exaggerated, but are intended to look correct in that context. Hover over the image to see the whole thing.
There's nothing wrong with your understanding of the GPL. However, there are some major FOSS projects (notably Wesnoth) that only accept GPLed art, so because of that, we accept the GPL as a license as well. If it were completely up to me, we wouldn't. :)
Iss it illegal to download things from here and use it to make money?
No. There's nothing stopping you from using any of these works commercially, but read the terms of the licenses carefully, because most of them require you to credit the author, and some of them require you to make the source code of your work available.
Note that I generated and uploaded the preview image myself -- I'd like to find out what this bug is and squash it if possible, though, so I'd still like to know the exact circumstances that brought about the error.
What's the exact name and type of the file?
Also, what Browser (version as well) and OS are you using?

I've been trying unsuccessfully to exaggerate the poses up until now. I think this time I may have actually succedded.
Critiques?

I'm not totally satisfied with it, but the whole point of this exercise is to get critiques and opinions, so bring it on. :)

Okay, once more with feeling. :)

Generally I make turrets to shoot things. :)
Joking aside, nice model. Looks like something that you might mount on a space ship or some other futuristic vehicle or fortress.
