hehe.

it'll be better if ur background is darker or grey. gives the glowy arm more contrast and easier to look at.

I think its better to remove the guy's left glowy shoulder pauldron effect, or at least don't make it go a straight line out of the boundary of the artwork. Composition 101 says that it will make the image feel lopsided hanging without any support, also it will divert the attention away from the artwork because of the glowly line direction.

looks much better now leech. good job.

Good colors. Watch out tho for the waist down to the leg. the left leg should align properly to the torso.

Find it funny that suddenly everybody pounces on Hexism's artwork even after he said he was changing it.

Lai. Who wants me to crit (pun intended) them? :p

Watch out for light and shadow. Seems that your light source is from the left. I assume you will fill it in on the other parts like the hair and body later as well as u progress. Witch costumes darker part is too much, maybe u can reduce it further.

U can try do several small color thumbs of diff variations to figure out the color of the whole pic. Good thing is that its small so you can see the whole, which is easier to figure out what color you plan to put.

If you're not sure what a color thumb is... here's an idea of a reference taken from Bolt movie. Its a color key reference, used to set mood of scene etc. The idea is that your thumbnails are very simplistic without details, form out the main blocks of the pic like your bear and witch and background and jack o lantern.

Hope it helps.

Hmmm. Somewhat feels like Prince of Persia. But looks good nevertherless.

nach. I did not individually create the characters one by one. I did it together as one piece.
Size-wise - they're as large or as small as they're supposed to be.
And about them higher at the back... I guess I wanted to show more of themselves. /shrug.

Its meant to be something like this.

yeah u're right with the inherent compositional problems. But to fix that would be redoing it. Nm ba. Just finish it up since already almost done. lol.

*fixed a bit more
