Ok maybe there’s two things to note. The background is full black, maybe you can get some gradient going, just so it’s not fully a solid color. What always works great is a radial gradient just behind the character. And perhaps the clothes feel a bit shadeless, as if it’s not interacting with the light and lacks a bit of volume that the shadows give it. That’s it really. I’d say try and getting those things going and post it to the gallery, I bet you’ll get a staff pick.
