WOOT!!!! I ACTUALLY COLORED IT! Only took me 6 months since i drew it. Hehe.... And it turned out really really cool. I hope you like it as much as I do. I also took screen shots while making it so I will make a tutorial out of it. YEAH! I'll probably get around to doing the other too as well. I learned a lot from different tutorials on deviant here and this is the result of them all.
Of course this is Sora from Kingdom Hearts, but who is the hodded one...Axel? Riku? Ansem? Or another Organization 13 member? You'll have to guess....Mwahaha.
It looks awesoem the only problem is that he has two right hands but hey barely noticable and his left arm is slightly too long.. Sorry but it says "advanced critiques encouraged" so yeah thats the only critique I have it looks great I love it.
-- In the wake of such tragedy, your boat will save me.
Excellent with the color job. Very reminiscent of the game. Love it.

Wow, the colorin'gs not bad at all! You've got a good play between light and dark, and that glowy goo stuff looks just like the portals in the game. Neat!
I think Sora's arms look long compared to his legs, though. Also, while the shading looks really good on his skin and clothes, his hair looks a little plasticky. The metal on their jackets is the same way. You should add more details in those areas to make them have more texture. Remember that light doesn't hit every type of surface the same way.
I really like your choice of color for the background. That and the clouds texture really help set an ominous mood. The filter really roks well here - just be careful not to become too depandant on them. Real backgrounds can have an even more powerful effect (Like if that crazy skyscraper were in the background.) Also, you've got a lot of empty space around them that a background would help fill, even more than the texture. That box you've got looks kind of pointless in this case. I'd eaither blacken or otherwise distort everything outside the lines, or just crop them out completely.
Lastly, watch your over-acting. XD You really get emotion from the charactert's expressions here, but at the same time, it seems a bit over the top. Sora's mouth seems open too wide (when you're unconcious, like in sleep, your mouth might be a little open, but it's only gaping like that in cartoons, not real life. So it looks silly in a serious picture) and the org member's mouth is akward, being open so wide but showing no teeth. The best advice I can give is make the expression you want and look at yourself in a mirror. But even that way, remember not to over-act yourself! X3
It's still a really great picture as it is. The colors are vibrant, the scene is interesting, and the lineart and shading are all very well-done. With some adjustments, though, I think it could be even better. I'm sure you'll be improving rapidly from here. Keep it up. ^_^
I really think that the coloring here looks pretty good, but I have some comments that I think would really improve your work. First is paying attention to shapes. What I mean by that is, when you shade a nose, you should be conscious of the shape of the nose as opposed to just putting lighting wherever. Otherwise, the picture gets a sort of bumpy look rather than being more real looking (and I don't mean like realistic, I just mean that things don't really take shape the way they should). The other main point is paying attention to anatomy. Proportionally, the characters have many issues. For example, sora's arms are longer than his legs, which is quite strange. Also, if you compare the sizes of their hands, you'll see that sora's are MUCH larger. Practice drawing poses from stock photos or other resources to get a better grasp of the way the body works, I know that was my biggest struggle (and still is) in art, and I'm less than halfway there myself, but once you start to understand, you don't really need others to critique your works anymore because you will see the mistakes yourself

How do you know if someone is a dragon if they look like humans?
You can see it, in their eyes....The power.
