Helloo! Coming from ProjectComment
This is a good work and I especially like the story, in my opinion it really adds a special touch to the drawing.
In terms of composition, I think you managed to create an overall balanced piece, although I must add that the little branches do not work that well, to me, right now they are more of a distraction, perhaps it would be better if you only let a main branch and secondary one, this to make the piece stronger and cleaner.
Another recommendation I would give you is to practice ‘Inking’ or Building up the tones, so you can highlight the mood, the game between lights and shadows, and the main focus on the piece. Right now, the shading seems a little linear which makes it look like there is no depth to the drawing.
These tutorials on the topic have help me.

Something that helps me when I am drawing is to think where the light is coming from. Here, for example, if is coming from the top there would be shadows on the branch below, from the right maybe the eyeballs of the skull wouldn’t be in darkness, from the left the wing would cast a shadow on the crow belly, etcetera etcetera. Doing little value studies you can play with the different options and give more personality to your drawings.
Hope this help and keep up the good work!

You did a great job with sketching the lines - they really feel purposeful and not just put wherever. And the story behind the picture is very intriguing as well, not commonly discussed but very interesting to think about. Really well done!
