Wow this is pretty good. I like the feeling you created with this picture. You really captured that intense feeling from the story with the dark colors and the way you painted it with textures. See what happens if you take out that light in the background. Since its showing in the piece it acts as the main light source yet there is a stronger light shining from the foreground. Usually youd want one main light source which is the strongest and then if you need more to help show a character more you have to make sure its not as stong as the main light source. Keep it up. It looks like your having fun with Photoshop. Some advice is to look up "Photoshop hotkeys" . It'll save you a lot of time. For example to control the size of your brush quicker press "[" and "]". To control opacity press the numbers on your keyboard. ex: 1 for 10%,2 for 20%... and 0 for 100%. The more hot keys you know, the faster you'll get at Photoshop.

XD Thank you again! Darn! I knew i busted the lighting -_-... Hmm i don't want to remove the strong background light.. but... I must correct the shading and the light on the characters... What should i do? The light shines right above the characters and because they are a bit leaned i thought the light must shine on their backs... but i should have darken the sides of the torsos and put some shades under the eyes, right? Stupid lack of patience... ><" Next time i'll draw some ray lines from the light source on the characters to do it right...... *hits myself with Paul's revolver on the head. By mistake, the gun fires and almost hits Arthur.. Arthur: HEEEEEEY!!!! Why does everyone want to kill me today????? *starts emoing..**

Oh ya now i get it! you see Ani and Otouto everywhere oups!

I meant that your picture of Paul and Arthur looks like tey were Otto (Paul) and Ani (Arthur) because of the hair. Otto-Paul has short black hair and Arthur-Ani has long and wavy hair. Besides of the fact that Paul-Otto hurted Arthur-Ani.
