Alright so lets see, im really bad with saying what i need to in words rather than doing myself, but i'll be glad to give my input on this!
For starters, let me say what i like about this. What appeals to me most are the colors that you've decided to use for this piece. They all compliment and blend very well with one another, and the background; simple yet interesting, isnt too distracting nor boring. your linework is really smooth and... i must admit really nice. The variations in thickness in your linework makes it look really professional to me! I like it. The amount of detail that you put in the key is extraordinary, and your shading is really smooth and you have a nice painted style of doing so, but there seems to be a problem with placement.. which leads me to some things that i think need tweaking.
Although the style of shading is great, and you do have a sense of not just ' black and white' for highlights and such, the placement of where the shading goes could use some work. i cant tell where the light source is on this piece, the shading highlights seem to be everywhere on this character. I think drawing a sketchy lamp somewhere to help you with shading will improve this picture greatly. Shading is more of something to see rather than explain. Theres lots of tutorials on DA about shading, if you look them up im sure you can see what im talking about e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
Also, the way this character's head fits into the image seems.. forced to me? i would suggest trying to draw a bit more of the character's neck/shoulders, just to see how it looks, because the image seems off-balance. The eye markings on this character seem disproportional, ( i noticed how on the left eyebrow, the brown goes over the black, and on the right, it goes through. ) and the left side of the head seems to be more far-out than the right ( if that makes sense?) I suggest trying to bring that part of the head closer to the eye.
But i think thats about it. This character is really interesting and i enjoy looking at it's clock eye! very cool stuff e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> I hope i was somewhat helpful to you. fdvc ;u;

i don't do a lot of critiques, but i can try a short one ;_;
i like the lighting here, it kinda sets the mood and makes me interested in finding out more about the background/meaning behind this drawing. the character in it is well-drawn, and the clock in the eye is a nice touch.
as for what you could improve on, i agree with some of the other comments saying how the contrast and composition could be different.

the clock is a sentimental part of my characters design :3 she's always had it, and the key is from a comic called Locke and Key >:3 it has magic powers. All the Locke keys do.

It's ok :3, I'll try and experiment with the eye more often. And that's a good tip, thank you, I'll keep that in mind next time :3
