First of all I'd LOVE the col and warm contrast that you have going. The colors really make the initial first glace really powerful. The intensity of the face drew my eye right away , especially the expression. The eye contact really shows the connection between him and that blue creature , it makes me want to know what the story behind them is. Its excellent when an artist brings out that thought process behind a a character and you nailed it. Your coloring is suburb, I can only imagine how long it took you to do because there are lovely and subtle details everywhere.

I think the thing that took away from this piece a bit for me , is that the torso seems a bit short , or his hips a bit too high . Also , His screen left hand also seems up too high , if his upper arm was on a big of a higher angle it could make sense ,but from where his shoulder is , it looks like his upper arm would be too short. It seems like if the screen left arm and the right arm were extended, the left one would be shorter. Although we cant see it it still kind of sticks out on my mind. These make the bottom part look at little ' squished in ' like its trying to fit on the canvas. The other thing that caught my eye were the gold spikes on his arm. They seem so softly colored in compairson to the details of the gold veins and other gold ornaments. The rest of them seem to have sharper angles and details , the ones on the back of his arm, because i think they have rounder edges , really stand out. They don't have as much as that refined ' pop ' as the others.

Those were just nitpicks however. The whole feel of this picture screams power and strength, and you really cant take your eyes off of his face , which is where all the story is to me. So excellent job! Your coloring is something to be reckoned with. When you take the time to really observe this picture , there are so many wonderful details you've added whether it be the gold veins on his arms , the effects coloring , the strands of hair , the lighting. I thoroughly enjoy this piece , is is how you say...epic.

Whoot my first critique ,well just to tell you how amazing you are xD
Man u really amaze me, I really adore the colors here, the blue and the red-ish color really blends well .I love how the blue stands out more and the lil pet creature fits in just right ,the blue orb inside it gives the creature a unique feeling as it it's really alive. Another element that caught my eyes would be the hand, that is a sexy and detailed hand right there XD and also the abs are nicely done strong and solid : ) I also like the gems on and in his arm and the bg with the planets ! .I love ur details seriously : ( !
