Yes I do.
Dynamic composition, nice.
Just, your warm color should be warmer to suggest fire. Some kind of red-orange-yellow.

+: the white light seems to be the day light. That makes this place hard to believe. Located deep but close to the surface in the same time...

hmmm.. perhaps it does look a little pale, that usually happens with my stuff, i get carried away with the the little things a forget the big picture.

the light is simple something i added to lift the picture, otherwise it would have been overly dark...never been to hell myself so im not sure if its actually like that.

I love this concept.
I think it could use a little more detail, or clear up the obvious brushes on the audience in the front.

I agree with Elliot, It definitely needs to be warmer..

I just used the hue/saturation thing in Photoshop and you can see how much vibrance the image gets..

hope you dont mind.

That so cool, it would make a really great wallpaper among other things. Warmer ? Im not so sure, I thought his idea of 'hell' being the devil/satan bored playing chess really cool. IMHO making it red and warmer is a little less interesting. Its weird, I have trouble making things paler, anything I draw is over-contrasted.

Oh wait .. is he playing chess ? Or is it like he's playing chess with people/pawns ? thats even better.

And as a bit of critism and not plain-praise the area above his head is a bit sketchy, a little more detail would be nice, or maybe a touch of blur, so it pushes it further into the background out of focus, it would also mean less work

Maybe, im not sure if blur would suit the style though.

he thanx for the comments everyone.
the section above the head is slightly unfinished but i didnt want the background behind the Devil to over power the main focus by being too detailed.
ive just aquired Painter 7 and its like being born again, so much stuff i can do now that i couldnt with Paintshoppro.
oh and heres a close up of part of an image im working on, just need to finish off the rest of the body and the background.

thanx
