Inspired by Fritz Langs Metropolis, I did my own rendition of that epic scene where false maria *Rotwangs mechanized creation* shows her decadent side and incites the workers of metropolis to rebel against their masters, classic stuff, gotta love brigette helm in that movie^^

Verry good image. The light is pretty good and same for the composition. The character's cloth are well designed too.

I won't take too long to say how I like the picture because it is not the idea behid a critique, no? Lol! So, here is what could be ameliored :

First, the left arm of the character looks a bit weird. The problem comes from the elbow I think and it could be prety easy to correct with a model. Look closely and I'm sure you'll se the problem! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)"/>

Even if the composition is pretty good, it could be better : first, there's the three headed creature wich is verry symetric. If it wasn't syetric, it would give a result a lot more dynamic. You could also try to improve the diagonal composition, here.

Now, for the colors and contrasts, I would suggest you to add a darker portion all around the pic. It will keep the viewer's eye inside the pic. For example : [link]
Well, of course, this picture is REALLY exagerated. This technic is supposed to be verry subtile. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)"/>

On the same subject, I would suggest you to add a darker hallow behind some elements to make them more visible. For example behind the torch and behind the reptile, etc. You could even add your character's drop shaddow. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)"/>

For the fire elements, you have a little problem. You see, when you draw a fire or any light source, it is supposed to be the lightest element of your picture. It is supposed to be almost white. To make it look bluish, you add a blue glow aroud it and you use the reflection of the light all around it.

It is abour all what I see for your pic! I hope it will help you! Good job over all!
