Last year sins

And regarding the pose... I also wanted to draw a simple base here to better show what I mean. What feels particularly off to me is the position of the head and how it connects to the body. The head was tilted a bit too much (at least for my taste), which made the upper torso feel a little awkward. I adjusted the tilt of the head and also made some changes to the overall pose, giving it a more pronounced "C" gesture to create a better sense of flow and avoid having the body feel completely straight and rigid. Hope this helps! :)

Hi, this is a very nice piece, here are my remarks: 1. If your light direction is from the bottom, you need to emphesize lit the right planes, in that case the bottom ones, insterad adding a rim light from the top, what flatten your image. 2. Character pose: I have made it one fluid curve from hips to ribchage, moved head a bit too, to continue this movement. Also the gripping hand was adding into flatness. THe tnetacle was far to big for him to grab it lie that, also it taken out from overall image depth. 3. Squid eye is taking too much attention from character, it is almost first focal point in your version. Hope it helps.
