Description
Finally I could finish this picture that I've been working last days. I'm very satisfied with this one, because I put much effort on it.Basically it's a strong guy who acts like a shaman (it's inspired by native-american culture) interacting with ancient spirits of his people. Aside acting like Shaman, he's also a formidable and strong warrior, he knows to fight well without casting spells too, and that big eagle is his partner.
I'd like to know your thoughts about it and if there are ways where I can improve

Good stuff with the blue light background, feather is very well drawn, very realistic. Attention to details, and very matching theme with natives, the totem-cane and eagle. The eagle's head and eyes are majestic. I personally prefer if the eagle eyes look even bigger, more "Thug Life" style badass.
I suspect the blue light reflecting on the eagle must had been very hard to draw, again, very nice.
Although, it would be better to have some sharper contrasting colors between the eagle and the background.
The fingers were drawn a bit over-magnified IMO, it amplifies the imperfections such as the edginess of the right hand, seems plain to the complexity on the left hand. The Abs looks abit funny somehow.
But then again its always easy to critic someone's work, I couldn't draw that nice in a hundred years. Good Job overall.

Thanks! About the abs, I wanted the character to look as strong as a rock, not necessarily realistic, and well it was a little hard to draw the eagle's wings and the hands. Thanks again!

Mmm, why the hair over the chest doesn't have blue light? I see in this xelgot.deviantart.com/art/Ligh… work you did it, and in this situation the hair has the chance at the tip especially, maybe the hair could cast a shadow also over the chest, but maybe it's too small to be noticeable.The character it's very well drawn I don't see a lack of a muscle or something, and the shadows and "specularity" are good, has a nice tough face xd. that's the reason I gave you 4.5 stars on the technique
I suspect You put a light behind the "view" so the face and upperbody get a lot of light and get the main attention, but the blue glare it's just over-blowing and instead of looking at the character I sway to the glare, or maybe the focus is the glare (?). Maybe there's a conflict over what do you want the people to pay attention, that's the reason I give you 2.5 on impact
Some friend says that the eagle needs more detail although, I see it's fine because the feathers are very dark with low contrast and don't get your attention. and the unsaturated white head fills the upper space.

Thanks! You're right about the blue light on the hair over the chest, I didn't realized it until now. I'll take note for future illustrations.
About the main focus that I wanted on the picture, I wante people to look as his serious face and well, I've been told already about the eagle's wing. It was a little difficult to me to make that eagle, specially with those light effects. I must practice more.
Thank you so much!

This is really a great work, I really like the lightning you achieved on it, the detailing of the totem is also really good, you achieved to give it a kind of interesting "painted" material look, the feathers on the eagle in the background also look really nice
If only maybe you could work a bit more on the eagle's wings, to make them look a bit more realistic, but I think than the main attention on the drawing goes to the indian guy in the front, so that's fine 
Keep up your great work man!

Yeah, the main attention is the native's face, although you're right, eagle's wings are not well worked, it was a little difficult to me to make the eagle hehe but I'll try to make it better next time. Thanks!
