Cute dancing finger-puppets, clever. Glad you're an artist and not a surgeon!

Congrats!

Clever ... simple ... and well done!

What Arca said. It always helps to look at sources upside down! A little of the smoke in a radial blur would be all that I'd suggest, otherwise great job.

Congrats!

This is a very interesting concept, but the composition really leaves something to be desired...
The oversized lumpy thing in the upper LH corner is dominating the image, with the fire and the wagon wheel helping to almost totally visually negate the gypsy, who is lost in darkness with the glowing orb casting almost no light on her.

You need to better establish your light source(s), and make them more consistent, especially the wagon wheel area, and the too dark area between it and the fire. The wagon simply should not be that bright, nor that unevenly illuminated...

The star "sparkle" brushes add nothing but additional confusion to this scene, as they do not emphasize your focal point, and just seem to be randomly tacked on.

In my opinion, it would be better composed if you just chopped off about 1/3 from the top and the LH side, and then adjusted your lighting.

LOL The oversized lumpy thing is the girl running away from her bad news fortune. If the scene does not succeed in doing what I intended - and apparently it does not - then it needs more work. However, the sparkle is not merely tacked on. "Bad News Travels" is the name of the piece, remember.

Thank you very much for the tips - they are valuable and I will work on it!

**UPDATED** The image was simplified. That's a misnomer - I worked a long time to paint the lights and shadows - 54 layers. Unbelievable. Thanks again, MossyB.

Great work!!!

I didn't see it before, but it looks good now, your lighting work makes for a good atmosphere.

Coooool idea for this, love the little snowman - even if he is a little inverted.
