Colours and lighting look great, though I particularly like the background though for some reason. It works well with the piece I think.

I really like the design and texture in the background. Good work!

I really like background here, very suitable to character pose an colors.

interesting character design.
we don't see feather-tailed humanoids that much.

Colors: You have a very simple, yet effect color scheme. You use the contrasting complements of yellow and violet well, augmenting it with reds and oranges. Because of this, you have really nice contrasts that help define where things are.
Lighting: Itβs a little hard to tell where the light source is, but it looks to be mostly from the top left? The shadows are hard to read/determine because it doesnβt seem as consistent as it should be. This is breaking the overall unity of the piece, making it seem that the components are pieced together.
Background: As much as I like the spirals, it doesnβt seem to work. One thing I learned in art is that nothing is supposed to be isolated; things need to repeat (you do that well with colors, as the colors of the background mimic the figure to some degree), but the background spirals are kinda just tacked on; they donβt seem to be important or vital to understanding what is happening; either replicate the design somewhere else (on the fabric?) or use the pattern already existing on the fabric.
Outline: Some of the outlines kinda blend in with the piece, which is nice, as it means that the color of it was chosen because of what already is there, but some of the places, (like the left leg, left side), the outline looks like a shadow where Iβm fairly certain there isnβt one. This is actually a common problem with outlines: they will look like shadows if the piece you did was shaded, not blocked in (i.e. in an animated cartoon, outlines are fine because the colors are flat, not gradients). To avoid this, put the outline on one layer, then get rid of it as you progress.
Face: For some reason, the face looks strange to me, but Iβm not sure if that is just the way the creature is. I think Iβm just basing it on facial proportions of humans/other animals I know, which may be limiting. (Although, see notes on outlines above; this is also an area where it doesnβt look natural.)
Composition: Iβm not sure if this is intended, but you do a great job of βframingβ the body of the piece, which I find to be the focal point (which is odd, because often, the focal point is the face). The feathers, spear, and the highlighted area of the background kinda encircle the torso and legs, making it seem more interesting.

Thank you very much for this critique. It's a bit a late reply, but this critique was of great help! You said many things I didn't see before, and those were the things I was searching for for a long time to improve on. Thank you very much!
