Aha! For the first time -ever- I actually have some hopefully constructive criticism! The piece is lovely of course, the layered highlights on the abdomen being most impressive and the funky hair making me feel cheerful, but there is a tiny thing I would have worked over. The hand. It -is- anatomically correct. The thing is that, because of the swirly cracks of lava or whatever these are meant to be surrounding it with light, it actually looks slightly smaller than it really is; it's an optical illusion thing. Therefore, to make it look correct from a distance, you'd have to actually make it larger than the anatomically correct measurements (kind of like how the ancient Greeks made the middle of their collons thicker than the edges exactly in order for them to look straight to the human eye). Futhermore, even if you end up making the hand too large, it still won't be an issue at all, since it is very common in fantasy concept art for strong masculine figures to have slightly larger than anatomically correct hands.

Quite honestly, it's just a stupid detail. But if you look at it from a bit of a distance, you might see why I am making this comment. The hand just pretty much... vanishes, especially the clenched fingers.

Oh well, excellent art, as always, forget the little ramble; it's not as if I could have done better. I was struggling with the hands for 3 hours in my young Snape portrait. >_<;
