Thanks! Luckily for him, this guy has some friends that might still be able to save him.

Wow, this is really nice. I just love how you did the armour, and the guy has a great expression, certainly relatable to the situation he's in

Great scene!Β
I've already said this, but I so enjoy how elaborate your works are.

This isn't digital, but it's so well done, that it looks like a program was used.
Love that shadow on the wall.

I like all the detail in the uniform and the bricks. I will say that the wings look kind of washed out, but it seems like an effect of the camera (which I can definitely relate to). Cool design.

This is badass! I would totally play a game featuring this guy.
The wings are a little TOO cartoony though... don't hesitate to use references for more realistic details.

A game with him in it would be so awesome!
Thank you! And thanks for the advise too! I'm still working on getting the wings on my characters to look like I want them too, but recently I've started to use more references. So I think it'll be alright in the future. ^^

Thanks for the critique!

This is a really fun image, even if he's clearly in a bind. I the colors you've chosen and the laying of the markers is really technically sound. I also enjoy the little details you've incorporated into so much of the illustration. It's great that you incorporated the light from the flames on him. The spot blacks are nice too, I'd love to see more of those in the wings, to really tie the elements together.
Edit: Totally missed that you asked for a critique, so sorry! I'll add some more insight.
The hands and his arms are a little out of proportion to the rest of him, they look short mostly because foreshortening is difficult. It's be a good idea to look up some tutorials, reference images or even to get an artist mannequin to look at how the arm would be shaped when thrust into the foreground.
I get a really good sense of the light souse here, that's very successful, overall. The shadow, however, is a little high, my eyes keep misinterpreting it as a him-shapes hole in the wall. It's a super easy fix, though, because you can make the black line in the top right corner more angled to show that the light is shining up at him (based on the shadow's placement).
The other reference I would suggest looking into is wings. You've put so much beautiful work into the armor, it's a little jarring to see the wings so flat in comparison. There are tons of good and simple tutorials on dA, just keep looking until you find one that makes sense to you.
This is a really solid piece and I'm sure you'll just keep moving forward with your work.

Looks great! I particularly like all the details you put in your work!

Cool concept!I like how you did the armor! Critique wise is that the wings look a little stiff, maybe some feathers could be flared out

Nice!
Good things:
+dynamic poseΒ
+dramatic
+concept and armor
What you may improve:
+anatomy (to make it less rigid and face proportions and the wings and the hands)
+blood (choose darker shade). But maybe that's scanner's fault
+lineart (make thicker lines in dark areas and thinner ones in lit areas)
Well done

Thank you! I'll try to keep those things in mind next time.

I love the shadow effect. Your shading is really well done, actually.

Love the flame effect on the sword!

I like the dynamic feel of this picture, I really enjoy the colours and the
fact he really looks cornered instead of simply posed in a corner for a pretty picture.
I would agree the wings could have been better-but it isn't enough to be very distracting
or take away from the picture =3 I like this one a lot~

Thanks! It's very nice to hear that he actually looks cornered. ^^

Nice, especially the coloring. The only thing I would change is the shading of the wings, so it won't look that flat (Sometimes I also commit this mistake, so that's why I tell). But other than that, its great.
