Holy shit, this is probably the most beautiful thing you've done so far!!! :0 I totally agree with you on this being a favorite in your gallery, everything you've done here is absolutely top-notch!

you wanted a critique, so here I go I guess
- TEXT WALL INCOMING, BRACE -

One thing to suggest is, in order to make the character stand out more against the background, is to give her more rimlights. Rimlight is sharp, thin lighting along the edges, very much prominent in lots of my latest artworks. There are strong lights coming from both above and below the picture, so don't shy away from really cramming those rimlights up! All along the character's outer edges, too.

Now, it somehow seems like your lines have no pressure which can make the lineart less dynamic. I took a look at your lineart of this picture and must say that the lineart in this picture is very high quality, even more than your usual lineart, but yeah. No complains with that. Your lighting (like highlights) could use some line or pencil pressure, however, to make them more alive and dynamic. Make your rimlights thinner and longer, running along a very very large distance (almost the whole character) with a more consistent thickness. You can see an example of them in this picture here: When worlds collide
The rimlights are very thin but run around almost the whole character. 

ANother point would be the bright street lights - make them a tad dimmer, they distract somewhat from the central character. I'd either put like some sort of casing or roof over them (like some lanterns have frenchmarketlanterns.com/media… ) or move them lower down the picture.

I really like the overall colors in this picture, but one way to make it more interesting is to utilize complementary colors (one of my favorite examples are red and cyan. Complementary colors are basically the colors opposit to each other on the color wheel) or three colors that are evenly distributed around the color wheel as main light sources or the picture's color palette (my favorite example of this is red - blue - yellow). If you look at my picture I linked earlier, I used three colors - red, blue and yellow. I put most of the color into the background and the lighting and attempted at giving the picture a neat color balance. Another example would be this picture: 2 in the morning  where my ain colors were cyan - magenta - green
And again, rimlights everywhere.

On the background, I really like the buildings and stuff you put there, it's not too cluttered and easy on the eyes! I'd suggest, however, to make the background a tad darker and to give the character in focus a stark color contrast againt the background, like some sort of color overlay maybe. Or, again, a heavy rimlight. Or maybe the two different light sources could add depth to the overall picture. Maybe you could add yellow to the picture so its main colors would be blue - yellow, which are two complementary colors. Dark background, bright blue light from the moon and bright yellow light from the street lamps. Create a color balance!

Welp, this is all I gotta say about the picture. I hope the critique was helpful! When I start typing out my thoughts, I really go full out. Sorry for the text wall haha

I don't even know where to start. The posing, the perspective, the background, the lighting! It's all fantastic! You did an astonishing job!

Minor suggestion: Add warm colors to the character or lighten it more. Because everything is blue, the viewer doesnt look at the character first

Holly shet! This is one of the best works of all time you have done mate *crys*
Looks much better and the effort must of taken lots of time...
The lineart,shading,colouring and the effects of both character and background just blends in well.
The face of him is so cute ;;v;; nice pose receiving more of the dynamics here.
but maybe to make it more better, I suggest to  add speed/motion to the character just a little because 
it's not intense,usually I would use it for fighting scenes or some dramatic sights, But works best 
for explosions as well, It really an option for everyone. I think the main focus is really a success to rest of the illustration
but the background, however lacks detail and texture (if that's the case of it but some styles can be like this, I'am not clear about it)
The clouds look really smudged, unrealistic, I think the clouds should be darker and more compacted, For the other choice 
add intense lighting, to make the shape of the clouds which reflects off the moon (either do both!). Its not the best I could do with them, hopefully at least work a little. I'am horrible at critiquing but all the knowledge comes from my experience.
But keep working on this style! It great to see it form into something that earns potential 
In the feature, you might inspire tones of people yep that would be me (thats why I'm here) 

your art is amazing, please keep up the pace^^

Oh my god Helen THIS IS AMAZING!!! YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF THIS DRAWING! <333

Okay so you ask for a critique, I'll try my best to give you a good one. I can say I actually don't see many flaws?? The lighting and shading are both awesome, so does the pose and the background. The only thing that seems a bit off are the clouds, could have been a bit cleaner (i can see random white scribbles here and there, especially on the top right) but i love how you shaded them too to look a bit realistic! Oh and, I would advise you not to put lighting on smoke! It makes it look a bit like a solid object.

That's all I gotta say. Overall, a really great drawing!
