I don't have any critique, but this is really cool and abstract and powerful so far. I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Also, I've totally gotta look up this Stephane guy now. Thanks for the link!

@twiggyt Thanks! Of course, I like sharing artists who I like, especially if they have lots of good content online. Hope you like his work!

As I continue to work on this Spider Witch piece, I’m finally solidifying some of the compositional elements, and while I will continue to refine and work on the shape language, I’ve mostly got the composition as I want it. I’ve started to add in some color, lighting and atmospheric effects to see how the black and white shapes play out.
The lighting in my first version didn’t totally make sense to me, so I started thinking of the light as a hole in the cave coming down from above, with the background light being more of a secondary source rather than the main source. My next steps will be to do one more pass on refining shapes, and move more into trying to create a sense of realism and atmosphere, before moving into textures, local colors, and edges. I’ll finish everything off with a pass at giving everything a more painterly quality.
As always, if anyone has any thoughts, comments or critiques, I'd love to hear them, particularly on the composition and how the image reads right now.

This looks epic already!
Such a strong composition.

@burvantill Yeah! I am learning so much, would love to hear if you start using any of his techniques in your process. I love how his point of view is just, do whatever it takes to make a great picture. Anything goes sort of thing
@TwiggyT@Feleri Thank you so much! I've been looking at it so long already, it's sometimes hard to still see it clearly, you know? It's nice to hear that it still reads and has some sort of impact.
