Some beautiful shading on the machine, and the overall color scheme is nice.
The tattoo machine is very interesting, but the overall image is just too busy to appreciate. The eye jumps too much all over the piece, with no clear or smooth flow.
The machine is a large part of the problem. You could design the mechanics and covers to help direct the eye, but instead have a chaotic mess of repeating line patterns going in every direction.

The one restful area for the eye, the girl starts to hold visual promise with the waves and wave tatoo area, but you then have the downward lines of the hair area and the arm direct the eye down the canvas, and off the bottom edge, making the eye claw its way back up onto the canvas, where the chaos begins again.

The high value white area in the center of your canvas is a major focal point, with its position near the center, but being empty, is visually unsatisfying.

Random sketches with no clear thought behind them seldom develop into successful works. Detailed? Yes. Complex? Often. But all the fancy doodling and detailing in the world, with the addition of various elements, colors, textures, and the like, still cannot strengthen a weak compositional foundation. So as a composition, no, this work doesn't quite hit the mark. But it did give you some good experience with brushes and rendering. And that is what counts in the end.

ya , thanks for ur critic i do found that i'm having trouble compositing this piece >< sadly i should start with afew sketch and get a better composition before i start colouring it , your critic really strike at the point ,hmmm i just wonder should i finish it fast and start another one or continue testing and playing around with it . the colour i started with this drawing was in grey black and white , the girl was added when i sketched a girl beside >< , everything start off unplanned. anyhow , haha i still start drawing other stuff and starting to finish it and damn i really left alot of unfinished drawing ... ashame on me . i had always gone crazy with my stuff but lazy to clean it up making alot of mess to my drawing ... really need to correct this bad habit.
here some new stuff .

i like dragon ,was thinking about funny scene when a dragon gamble a chess challage with a guy , if the dragon win he will eat the guy and if the guy win he will be release . it number 102 challage of the guy with the dragon, the guy lose the pervious 101 challage , everytime that guy lose he will think of some ideal to make the dragon to challage with him again .
