Sta.sh
One thing that really stands out to me is that the character doesn't look like he belongs in the background. The background is super detailed and wonderful, and the character is rather simpler and wonderful, and never the twain shall meet. If you want to combine simple and complex like that, may I suggest art nouveau? Judging by this I think you would have a fine eye for the... restrained complexity of the frame.
Another thing I noticed was... uh... fingers don't go like that. XD Try making that pose with your hand - if you can, I might have to drive you to the emergency room. >_> Taking pictures of your own hand in the pose you want will really help that! Webcams and cellphones are great for that.
Anyway, overall I love this, it's beautiful and vibrant and AUTUMN. It just needs a few tucks here and there!
Positives
Tone. The tone of this drawing is great. Warm and welcoming yet something is slightly off. creepy. I love it.
Composition. You filled up the page and yet it doesn't feel like a tight space. A hard thing to get right I tell you. And you nailed it with the perspective. yey!
Texture. WOW that's a lot of texture.
Now for some Negatives
Proportions. When dealing with a naked figure, you need to be careful with not only proportions but anatomy. I would recommend looking up some references on shirtless men, and study how the muscles are built and put together. Also looking at some Anatomy books never hurt. (I have like 10 so far and I still want more :I )
Another thing is the wings looks rather off. Look up references on bird wings to help you make them look more believable and real.
Texture. WOW that's a lot of texture. I know I said the exact same thing as a positive, but that's because its done too well, as in too much. There is a lot to take in and it is a bit distracting from the main figure. There is so much in the ground and right behind him and barley any on him and his wings. Shading is one thing, texture is another. What could have used more texture however are the vines and wing feathers. To make them both stand out as what they are and not get lost in the background.
It is a great drawing and I hope this critique helps you.
