This is a very amazing picture, it has been awhile since I have seen artwork of yours but every time you do post something it is not to disappoint. This artwork is everything I look for pretty colors, 3D and clear imagery. I don't know how many times I have seen something that was made in Paint and try to pass it off as something that is completely beautiful and had spent a lot of time on it. You obviously put much time into this image and making it a solid piece of artwork. Overall score: four and a half stars. Keep up the great work!!

I really enjoy this piece, Ribera, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Your coloring is very smooth and natural, and you really seem to have captured a good degree of control over lighting, at least spot lighting.

The only thing I question is the eye shine, it seems unnatural. Given the darkness you the surrounding area, it seems too bright. Since this is a lighting piece, I think the eye should fit in more with the surrounding lighting. Not that's it's bad, just that I question whether it would appear like that given the lighting you've chosen for the image.

One thing that this lacks is a clear sense of scene. I would have loved to see a background in this piece. It's one of the areas I lack in my own artwork, and it's something I want to practice on more, so I bring it up. Also, if you had objects and a scene, it would be quite interesting to see the lighting interacting with it. As it is, it's still a very interesting composition with the darkness surrounding him, but I would have loved to see more. ^^

All in all a really good job! I think it's great to see you trying out new styles of lighting. It's quite a successful character study.
