Reminds me of Kefka in Final Fantasy, you know that tower boss final battle. That's a good thing. The red doesn't really match the rest of the palette however, I feel like it's making the sphere sticking out. Nice piece none the less. 
ahaha, thanks! It got away from me a lil' bit
I have no idea what I'm looking at but mother of god Iove it so XD
KamiWasa, 7heSama, thankyou both! That's really helpful criticism, i'll work on it some more.
I really like it. You've done a great job of conveying the bulk of the dress and smoke. I agree about the arms; her right looks too long and doesn't appear to attach at the shoulder. Also, I don't think the darker smoke at the top helps; it frames it too neatly and doesn't make much sense. Finally, I think the dark yellow would work better for the smoke highlights than red. The contrast with the background kinda burns.
This is pretty neat! I like its roughness. The only thing I really see is the difference between the arms. Like I see that the left one is coming out into space and thats why its shorter but its weirdly contrasting the other arm and making it look longer than it should be. Or the right arm just appears to me as longer than it should be. Thats really it though, still really cool!
Thanks! The weekly challenge was pretty difficult to work with. I've never actually.. played Final Fantasy.
