I have been working hard one this image in the hope that it could be good enough for my portfolio. To be to represent my personal project that I plan to animate.

Here is what I have so far:

Any critique is warmly welcomed !

Hi Njumer:)

 Nice character designs; the bad guy in the upper background looks especially interesting.
   
 Overall the image feels a little too saturated for me. I think there still can be the same amount of saturation in the areas that you want us to focus on, for example around the eye of the main character.
 
 What I like to do (in Photoshop) when I have to de-saturate parts of the pictures is to create a new layer on top of everything else, set the layer mode to color and fill it with white. This will make the image completely greyscale, from here I can adjust the opacity of the layer until the saturation level feels just right to me. Finally I will go in with a soft eraser and highlight the parts that I want to remain saturated.
 
 Hope this helps:)

Love the color pallet, and the aesthetic placement of all the elements!

This reflects your style and i dont think there are any style comments to be made, but the dimensions of the piece would be much better served next time with a wider or taller composition when involving a character with important background elements. It allows the characters to fight over the attention within the space. A square here leaves me wanting to see more of the outer dimensions and overwhelms the focal point.

Compliment sandwich, a lot of personality, cant wait to see the adapted moving version!

Thanks, I will try that next time !! I don’t mind experimenting with the vertical shape of the canvas.
