The colors are a bit too direct. It would be better to focus on how materials behave under the light, rather than use straight uniform colors. This is especially evident on the skin here, because you have made it all the same uniform "flesh" color without much regard to the light or to the fact that flesh is not really uniform, it has specific colors on various body parts. I can see you have remembered to use colored shadows, but now take that further.

The volume rendering is not the best here... a lot of things are too flat. Look at the cloth hanging from the right shoulder - it casts a shadow but has no gradient on it, so it does not look curved. It looks as if it's stiff, straight, and floating in front of the figure.

You have used 3/4 side lighting - I'd expect at least the arm and spear to throw a shadow on the body, and the chin to throw one on the neck. I see none. I also see no shadow on the side of the torso, which makes it look like cardboard. And there are practically no little shadows under the clothes edges, hair, and such - these should not be ignored as they help to tie the volume together.

Finally - but really firstly - this needs work on anatomy and perspective. Pay special attention to hands and neck. You have completely ignored the collarbones. And study the structure of bird's wing - it is more organized than you are making it look, less uniformly pinioned and with lots more intricate detail.

Good luck.

Great details on his face! I love the shadows and colours you chose too, very nice work. Maybe make his shoulders slightly bigger or his neck slightly thinner. It great work, you're improving all the time. +8

I love the details on his face and the design of the spear! The stone set into the spear looks real. Like Reilanchan said- I think the lighting is very well done! I don't know that the shadow from the spear would actually hit across his chest- I would think it would only just hit the very right side of his body, if that makes any sense. But I think that's minor.

I agree with Juro's comment and Arenhaus's comment about the wings- the wings do need a little more work I think (though I know first hand how extremely tedious they can be to paint).

Powerful piece, in my opinion! He keeps staring at me even when I move about my monitor. Lighting, face, spear- great work. Juro's right! Keep it up! Just watch the minor details!
