@Durrell-Odom Hey Durell - looks like you are about finished! - For critique i would say that it is very saturated and hard to find a focal point - it is even difficult to look at the main character for me - my eye keeps bouncing around - everything has equal importance - i used a desaturate brush in photoshop on everything but the giant demon and the singer and it helped a bit - but i think it will take more than that because desaturate just brings everything to it's grayer self - so i think desaturating and possibly changing some colors to be a bit cooler where you don't need the viewer spending time - i think it can be subtle and still have the inferno effect you are going for - perhaps have a circular composition where the eye goes round and round - top left demon to front pedestrian to singer to giant demon and back to the top left demon - these could be the places that have higher saturation with the singer having the most... but everything else being knocked back a bit or a lot both saturation wise and color temp. Does any of that make sense? Look forward to the final!

@Durrell-Odom I agree, to desaturate from the farthest to the nearest, love this style.

@Kevin-Longueil Thanks. I've been really looking at some of classic paintings of hell, Geof Darrow, and Mike Mignola yesterday to give it that feel. I made a change to the twin towers in the background too. As far as color, I was studying the works of Mignola and Dave Johnson for more of a simple read. As far as color, you're right. I believe red was too much. I've should toned it down a bit.

@Durrell-Odom Hey Durrell - i just noticed i forgot to load the desaturated version i had mentioned - here it is - i think this is better at explaining what i was trying to say

This is what I was thinking also, although, I might add some "glow" around the main characters in the background to pop them off the page a little...
