Thanks man. feels good to inspire people. i joined new grounds to find inspiration.
Just excellent. VidGameDude has the best content analysis, so I'll focus on mechanistic comments, perhaps straying into content and meaning here and there.
The demon's eyes are perfect with their inhuman roundness and flat, featureless, glowing white color; it gives an otherworldly look of cold and apathy that mixes with the red to suggest a detached malice. The demon's partial transparency and sharper specularity/reflectivity really makes it stand out from the two human sculptures.
The humans material is softer, where the specular reflections and actual reflections are muted and blurred; they aren't made of polished ebony, but more like an iridescent stone.Their features are softer, too, bespeaking contentment and a relaxed comfort. That is mirrored in their entwined fetal positions. If their faces were the least bit tense or worried, the whole image would be completely changed and I would get a sense of terror of the demon. Your choice of expression on the humans suggests safety instead. And all of that is done in a minimalist style, where a line here, a triangle there, and a circular hairline are used to construct a complete and expressive face.
The rest of the details are adjusted to maintain the sense of softness for the humans and harshness for the demon, but it mostly fits in the constraint of the cube. The cube, of course, is the central idea: the simplest element in a space of 3 dimensions, enclosing the 3 simplest components of humanity.
I encourage you to keep exploring the 3D avenue. It will be fascinating to see what you can do!

thanks man, thanks for the really awesome review. i like how you tie in the texture to that of their character and identity. the demon being "sharp" while the human bodies being "soft and iridescent. thanks for the amazing review m1kclark.
