Description

This time was a request from a friend , she asked me to draw her character Sail, a young blue skinned Gloaming thief with butterfly-shaped wings and with a reptilian/draconic forearm,umm...im not sure if achieved the butterfly-shape thing.
She gave the freedom to redesign her outfit, yeah she rock.
As usual, i tend to try risky thing in my illustrations (if you dont risk you dont learn), so this time i tried to create a fusion between foreground,middleground and background all merged together as smoothly as possible. Im happy with the final result : D
I still suck drawing structures though ¬_ ¬

So a giant nasty monster will fit perfeclty on the scene, the first thing that came to my mind was a centipede-like creature, but CG all that manny legs would be a pain in the ass, thats why i decided to make just 6 legs and leaving the resto of the body like a giant snake.
Lso, you can see they are in some kind of vertical tunnel, like a tower, i though that an ancient ruin would be a great environment for a gigantic,dark killer creature.
You can see in his mouth, over his head and his tongue some blueish lights, thats why this monster lives deep in the underworld and he use those lights to atract his future food.

EDIT:
Ok, i spent one more hour fixing monster sharpness (now you can see more details on him), changed brightness (eventhough it looked fine on my pc, some monitors showed a really dark image), and added some more self-light details on monster body (you can follow his silhouette), and in his tongue to focus your attention in the lower left corner to slowly guide your eyes to the center of the image.

Thanks for the constructive feedback, what you think now?

I like the colours and the overall concept. Would like to see it sharper, and the character much bigger in the frame.

Good use of color and depth. However, it is very hard to tell what is going on. The image is too small and is very dark, and I'm on a Mac which means it's probably even darker for the PC crowd. I had to brighten this image in Photoshop and enlarge it to see what is happening. I see part of a creatures mouth, but I'm still not sure how to connect it to all the other elements. Cropping nearly 1/3 of the top and a bit from each side so that the character is placed at the top and left makes for a better composition IMHO.

Thankyou very much for the constructive feedback.
I fixed a coupe of things like brightness,blurrness, added some more details,etc

@Roadrunner: If i resize the character i have to resize the monster too and thats kinda ruin the entire image.

@Twistofline: Yeah, i got the same problem with my sister pc, it was too dark and really hard to tell what is happening.
Now i adjusted brightness a little bit and it looks better,.
I'ill try to explain you the monster design, its like a worm with 6 legs above his head, also he have a "vertical" mouth and those 2 jaws to the sides of his mouth like Predator he have that too.
His body is in spiral down to the background, and you can see 2 of his legs in the foreground (lower right corner and center left side).
Also he have 4 or 5 tin tentacles comming out of his mouth and a big one with lights in its sides, the character is attacking this big one tentacle trying to not get trapped by it.
Sorry for my poor english hope you can understand the scene now.

Good job with the update. Have you thought about cropping? The top darkness doesn't do anything.
