The squiggly lines are where I'm going to be using machinery as design elements. I haven't painted in the bullets that the invisible woman will be stopping with a force field, with rippling/lensing effects around the bullets as they hit the force field.

I think that I might need to repaint the Thing, because his pose is not dynamic enough. Im also thinking about eliminating the yellow in the right background, and replacing it with a blue or violet predominant color. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Pretty nice! Cool shot of all the FF in action. I think you don't really need to repaint the Thing, but just sharpen him up a little, give his individual rocks on his arms etc. a little more definition, like they are on his head. Same thing with Sue and Reed, some of the shading on them needs a little tightening (Also where's Reeds grey streaks?). Human Torch looks great, just maybe add some more glow/slash flame effects to convince us that he's really on fire. Nice stuff though, this'll be badass when it's finished!

Very cool pic. Unless you're going for a different mood I don't see any problems with the yellow. As for the thing maybe an overhand punch would look better? Just a suggestion, as I don't think it looks too bad. Can't wait to see it finished.

One quick comment, usually when things appear in the foreground eg the Women, they have stronger contrast than those in the background. At the moment the Thing is my centre of focus, is this what your after?

Some warmer hues added into the foreground may also help create more depth.

Thread title says Fantastic Four Cover. Since the image is wider than it's high I assume it's intended for a wrap around cover. That would put the spine smack in the middle of Sue's face - and the Thing's face for that matter.

Also on the right half of the image above Reed there'd need to be more room for the Fantastic Four display typography.

The Thing's left arm seems a little rigid. You did put a bit of white and grey in Reeds hair - above the ears - maybe it needs to stand out just a bit more.

Good lighting on Sue's face. And, yes, the Torch looks great.

(Oh, and if by "cover" you mean in the way some bands do a cover of another band's song, and not an actual book cover - then just forget what I said about spine and display typography.)
