Trying to sort out the composition.. hope this is on the way at least..

Deadline's approaching...

This might be it if you guys don't come up with some more good tips!! :)

Smolin: Nice to watch a pro in action! :) 

It's been really fun and I think I've learned plenty, both from feedback and watching you others. I think there are many really good pieces here!! 

Thank you guys for all the good advice!!

Think I've gone about as far as I want to with this. Thank you all for your help once again.

Any more input is appreciated:

 @Segujo: Nice work, can't really see much to critique.

@Claude Crow: For me the image is too wide, but that drastic vertical line makes it almost look like two pictures. The pic is also a bit small for me to see much detail, so I can't really make too many suggestions.

@Smolin: Looking good, is coming along quickly!

@Rageful: Are you using a reference photo, because a few bits look a little 'off' to me - not least her foot and the arch of her back where it meets her butt. I like the concept though.

@Midscrawl: I tried to paint a city a little like that for a test background but you've made a far better job of it than I did. The only bit that stands out as needing a little attention is blending the elements together. It looks on some bits - such as the front character - like it's been collaged.

 @Hansnomad: Coming together, the perspective on that back arm looks fine.

Phew!!!!!

Segujo!!! This has turned out brilliantly my friend! Making the wings that little bit bigger so that they complete the flow of the composition from top left to bottom right is ideal and the finish of your brushwork is a treat.

It's been a pleasure to watch your work (and everyone elses) come along.

Helmigh Ooops..... Sorry, my lady! Hahaha!.... I will adress my comments more apropriately in future!! LOL!! Thank you too for the feedback on this challenge. Hope it goes well for you. Your piece is ace!

See you all around for the next one!

Narrowed it a bit. Not sure if i'm filling up the background too much though..

What are the max dimensions for the final post?

rageful:

Helmighs pointed it out to me earlier today. 

Whoops. Didn't read comments on others before posting. You got me!

Finally an update! Been workin the details... trying to create a good atmosphere. I think I am just about finished. I'll make a few tweaks here and there, and use any input that you guys may have to offer!

Everyone else has been having really good progress, not much for me to add!

Thanks to all for your helpful comments.  I wrestled with that left arm for some time during the drawing/painting phase, and it's probably as good as my abilities will allow (that will teach me to try to do a twisted, perspective pose--LOL).  Here's the full image (the crops I was showing before were not the intended final crop--just details I was working on).  Still have some more work to do, but it's getting closer to what was in my head (there are still a lot of elements that need love, like the stone wall, floor, etc.).  Great entries from all coming together as usual.
