Description
Pleased with the end result! I wanted it to be darker image, to really get that light jump out. Because of this, it is best viewed on a black or dark background (at least, I recommend that).---
Stock images I used:
Key: Key 4 - Stock
Face reference: faestock.deviantart.com/
Chains: Ropes -n- Chains Brushes
Background texture : atmosphere FREE texture pack
Rock textures : www.cgtextures.com/
The rest is painted and/or part of my own resources.

Download for the best view (original size), it's worth it!
Tips and help always gratefully wanted, I really want to improve my skills!

to have the light pop out like you wanted, you have to do some reflections on the key to give it some shape. it's a little too subtle, but i think that's all it'd need

I get that is is your choice but perhaps it could be a bit too dark. I do like it dark and I do know that you want to see the contrast, but I would suggest still putting little bit of of light so some more of the great things you've done would come to light a little. Just a few shades lighter. Or a streak of light? or something to pop out the top of the key. It's especially hard to make out.

Beautiful work!
I love the creativity and composition!
If you like to have some tips, I can suggest you to make the picture a bit more bright. (I overall like the dark atmosphere here, but to recognize what is on the picture especially from the thumbnail, just add a little bit more.)
Overall I love how you added the textures here, but I also suggest to you to use them as basic textures and maybe add some more of different kinds, especially combining several ones.
(You probably know about this deviant , just take some of his textures and experiment a bit with them.)
But you dont need to change anything on your style and the composition here, overall its an amazing picture, keep it up!

looks cool, but I can't quite tell what's going on in the background.

I could have sworn there was, but my eyesight is terrible, so I must of just been seeing things.

Wow. Asbsolutely amazing work! Fantastic concept, and the dark tones of the image with only the inside of the head being lit makes for a truly impressive work. Well done!
