okay,seeing as its crit week, here ya go:
the actual drawing looks nice and solid, but you've got too many colours going on in there. I'd suggest losing the green and the purple.
second, where are those colours coming from? is the demon actually blue, or is that representing blue light? it's hard to tell.
also, the cave should have the fire lighting it up inside as much as its lighting up the monster.
lastly, it took me a while to work out that the pale blue splodge was actually sky and not a glowing star above his head. maybe make the radius of the hole wider, so the edge of the cave intersects with the level of his eyes?
hope that lot is some use to you!!

I agree with newman. Yoo could try working the purple into the blue skintone if you aswell. The white at the bottom of the page REALLY draws my eye to the bottom of the page. Maybe if you increased the diameter of the sky it would help?
Also, I just noticed that the smaller right (my right) eye is looking straight while the other is looking downwards. It just look a litlle wonky....like he's retarded:x
Good drawing though!

I agree with what's been said so far though I'd darken the cave wall. Since we're looking up the part of the wall we're seeing would be farther away and if it was darker I think it would help make the demon/monster pop more and I'm guessing that's what you want the focus to be. Great start though, I love the expression.

Just being a contrarian, this proves that with the right values, the colors are secondary. This thing is bursting with life. Now, the volcano walls seem too underdone and I'd sample some of those colors around, but I like it.
I like it a lot.

flames aren't really in perspective and the colours are abit smudgy. sharpen the area around the eye and shift the purple more towards red. lighten the blue so it fits more with the sky colour. yeah,and add some subtle texture to the rocks,or render them abit more. overall a really good start though,the distorted perspective is not easy to get right.:)

-Get rid of that bright spot- (what is that?) on top if his head. The background brushstrokes are very distracting and muddy. Edit: A cave - I guess it was mentioned in the other thread...I couldn't make that out-
-Edge of the blue wing? too strong...
-As far as the colors - Im assuming youre experimenting...the green and the
hotpink are a bit too much...although more interesting I guess than just the
color of the fire hitting the bottom facing planes of the head...not sure how
to crit this. If you're gonna do this - go all the way and try different colors
everywhere the light hits cause now it looks more of a mistake than
something youve done on purpose

I think the background needs mpre defining, and so does his chin, but very cute concept, I like the expression on his face.

I love all the colors, but it makes it appear more of a psychedelic image than necessary. There is some 'bitmapping' that bespeaks a smaller image resized to a larger. I recommend working with a much larger image than you plan to output.

First of all, super colours! They combine really well IMO. If you plan to have a hole in the ceiling (which i'm not sure is necessary) shouldn't there be backlighting from above? The bottom half is still unclear. Is his body behind the flames or are the flames turning into the body? More variation in the size of the flames might bring some clarity here.
