Hey there~ I'm from ProjectComment !
I like your attention to detail! Not only the character and the objects in the foreground but also the rocks outside are very clear and refined. You also textured everything quite nicely to differentiate the different materials. I'm sure that was a lot of work and I think the result is pretty interesting.

However, there are some fundamental things you can improve on: First of all your perspective is inconsistent. For example, you can clearly see the top of the table, but the flask on top of it is almost entirely flat. For a correct perspective, you need to think of the vanishing points for each object, their rotation in relation to each other, etc. The devices in the room all have similar problems. Also, your ellipses aren't rounded and do not feel like they occupy the same space as everything else. In short, it would greatly improve your backgrounds if you can get a better understanding of perspective. Perspective really is fundamental to every drawing, even when your drawing stylized, so I encourage you to take the time to develop a decent intuition for it. There are lots of good resources out there to help you, for example, drawabox.com (The exercises on that site aren't exactly fun and easy, but it's worth it).

Furthermore, you might have noticed that when your image is sized down, like in the thumbnail, it becomes quite hard to recognize the different elements of your image. If you want to make your image 'read' better (which is important, because on DeviantArt images are mostly seen at a tiny size) you will have to work on the structure of your image.
When looking at your image in terms of value, i.e. how bright a certain color is, you will see that there is no clear hierarchy. It is generally preferable to clearly distinguish between foreground, middle ground and background with values and different amounts of contrast. You could, for example, achieve this by changing your lighting situation: Even with lamps a cave/room like that would usually be a lot darker than the outside. As a result, you could make everything outside appear very bright (think a photo with overexposure) while making the room overall darker. This could also bring the focus to the character.

In terms of lighting a have a quick tip that could greatly improve the realism of your background: Look up Ambient Occlusion (or Occlusion Shadow). Shadows usually aren't completely black, because light gets reflected from the environment and illuminates these areas. This light is very smooth, but because it is caused by light bouncing off of nearby surfaces it isn't distributed evenly. Corners, areas below other objects or small holes all have smooth areas of darker shadows. (A real life example would be under a car on a cloudy day). Even in a more simplified style, adding this effect in a subtle way can make your backgrounds appear a lot more convincing.

Overall your drawing has a lot of potential. The amount of detail clearly shows the dedication to your drawing. I'm sure that by working on your drawing fundamentals, like perspective, you can improve a lot.
I hope my comment has been useful. Have fun and keep drawing~

I know nothing about Spanish. To me, the word android in Spanish would be El Androido.

You do know the word android doesn't have an e in it right?

Anyway, nice pic.
