Description
This one I originally started off as a scribble drawing but it eventually became something I worked little by little now and again.Related content

Everyone is well drawn with their poses, muscles, proportions, and those wings are nicely detailed! I like the use of the first character's cape extends across the picture to wrap around the characters.
The thing I couldn't keep focus on is how everyone is positioned from background to foreground. When I look at the 3 characters on the left and right it feels like they blend in a bit too much where as I can't almost differentiate if the one in front is popping out enough and the one behind is just a bit far enough from behind.
I'm just also trying to figure out where the lighting is coming from, its the background with the lightning effects right? I think you could of added a little more brightness or highlights to the lightning effects.
The wings do look awesome but It looks and feels like they could use more shadow tone as they connect from that character's back so it is stronger looking.
The lighting and shadowing is something that could be played around with, like I think its either the shadow doesn't contrast well enough how the lighting is reflect off the character's bodies.
Otherwise I dig this picture and its really cool! Good job Sherwyn!

Thanks JP for the analysis of my drawing! That’s because I started with a rough sketch and didn’t plan on having all the characters in there. But I decided to keep them in as this drawing progressed over the weeks 
I actually had the lighting coming from all around. mostly from almost directly above as well as behind. I just wanted the sky to be very lit up with lightening so that they look glowing. The drawing does need a lot of work, as my focus was mostly on testing out line work and shadows using thick blacks for traditional comic style.
I’ll keep the suggestions in mind of course!

You're very welcome Sherwyn!
Ok thank you for explaining your process, it makes more sense now from your own words.
