This is an old fanart pic of Kefka and his three statues. For those that have played Final Fantasy 6 (Final Fantasy 3-U.S.) you'll know what I mean.

User Image

The actual picture measures at 8 1/2" (w) and over 44" (h). I had to shrink this picture especially for the 56k users.

I'll do what I can to provide close ups of this picture later on.

Wow, very interesting picture with lots of details :3... Looks like it took quite a while and was a very ambitious project @__@;;

The coloring on some of the characters look a bit cut-outish though as in they don't look like they're part of the background and were pasted on there from another picture. Whil ethat may be the case I don't think that's how you want it look razz

Another thing is your light source is from the top, but your coloring looks like everything has equal lighting from the front and not from a specific direction.

Just a few of my thoughts :3 Keep up the good work <3

Balance. The work's kinda heavy on the left side. But I like your style! 3nodding

I probably would've gone with a more limited colour palette personally, but I'm a graphic artist by trade so limited palettes get beat into us lots. I just think fewer colours would help the piece (especially because its so large) mesh together better as well as pop more.
Otherwise a very interesting piece. To help the balance issue I would've just widened your crop a bit, you're shaving slivers off and that always looks awkward and throws balance off.
