The character is pretty good, just some areas could have shown more form. I'm talking shading wize ofcours. A great way to make particles/ blood splatter is make your own brushes or find some free ones on the internet. Hope that helps, great work!

This is a nice piece, but I'm unsure why you put so much stuff on top of your original illustration. Is it supposed to be something to do with the magic? The red dots are also a bit sloppy, and takes away from the overall coloring and lighting; which is a shame because I really like the design of the main character. Keep up the good work, but don't forget about the importance of design. Instead of filtering over the subject, I would have spent the last of the hour developing an abstract or conceptual background.

Can't wait to see how you develop your art.
