Ah Buck-Tick, ever the inspiration!

At first I didn't really like Mr. Darkness & Mrs. Moonlight, but as I kept on listening to it, it grew on me.
It's a overall wonderful and very fun song to listen too :3

This is truly wonderful. I hate making comparisons, but "Mr. Darkness" looks my "Javiusnocht, II", both faces are alike, undeniably.

oh geee, i've been preparing for the whole day and i've made up the "speech" to write a proper critique, but they just say i have to be a premium member too
oh my god, i feel as if spitted in the face


But still, i'll do it right here.

So.
first of all the obvious merits of the work - colour, manner, strokes.
The choice of the colours is really good. Dim greenish blue (or vice versa) creates the feeling of softness and depth, so that we feel the inner space of the work. I also agree with the previous speaker concerning the hints of the red - the lips and the sparkling thing on the collar. Being used only once, the red could spoil the harmony of the work, but, reflected, it gives some extra ballance and increases the connection between the characters.
the ballance between the shadow and the light is also good. The figures stand out from the darkness in the pale and tender moonlight - well, nothing more is needed
My special credit is given to the manner of the strokes. It reminds of the real painting - tempera, i think; and it makes the work delicious. The way the soft strokes are fading is the most, to my mind, precious device here. Not a single harsh line, soft shades, modest highlights - a brilliant technique! Bravo!

Now i want to mention several issues that i wouldn't call minuses, but that made me surprised, or a kind of
The most is the slight strangeness of the way the figures are situated to each other. The are standing near each other but at the same time they look somehow separate. Maybe the effect is caused by the size - the man's head looks bigger than the woman's and (though it may be just natural) it somehow breaks the perspective and confuses.
And it may be only my own subtle view, but it seems to me that his nose is a little bit... hm, left-sided?.. i'd make (wahaha as if i could make it at all!))) the nose a little more turned to the left for the greater symmetry. But this remarque means only that there are so few flaws that i have to dig for the comparatively wry nose
or so

as for the plot.
The name gives it all. I haven't heard the song that inspired you so i haven't got a chance to compare the atmosphere, but i think it is rather exact. Mr. Darkness is dark and frowning (though the general meaning of his expression is a mystery for me. I can't guess what he thinks/feels and it onfuses and catches the same time). Mrs Moonlight is lit and soft and calm as a moonray should.
I've already mentioned, the characters look alike and yeah, you might have a point. They are alike as a long accustomed couple of companions that have been together for so long that grew familiar so much that they even don't need words between them. And it suits.
All in all the picture is catchy - if i'd seen it in a small version i would definitely press the zoom button.
My humble comment here is a lind of incompleteness. I'll try to explain - it is the incompleteness of a part of something bigger. As a poster for a movie. As a page in a book. As an illustration. We can never guess what the author means by the work itself, we sould watch the film/read the book or at least read the words of the song here I think it needs something more to be a complete separate piece of art. However the incompleteness is a great thing too. It makes the observer wonder - and ask questions - and think So this is up to the artist

So, all in all. i like the work and give you a big fat CREDIT! You are growing into a cool professional artist and i do feel proud

PS special thanks fo the glove - i'm won!

I really love the little hint of red on her lips and the jewel on his collar - it sets off the other colors on the painting really nicely. Well done!
