    This is really good. I have a little feedback/crit but please know overall this is quite creative and just works.
    I think I only need to mildly mention the proportions of the hands.
    The white rim lighting is a great effect but it's used in a rather cliche way here. Try varying the line width of the white stroke in relation to the light source and you'll end up with a combination of an outline effect with the realism of rim lighting. Or if you don't prefer that, give the stroke some kind of life or texture or "brush work" that makes it seem less artificial.

    Great work. I hope my crit is take constructively since I'd love to see you succeed. Keep up the great work.

      Thanks for the comment!
      The anatomy feedback is definitely appreciated... I tweaked the hands a bit; hopefully they feel better. I'll consider the stylistic advice for the next one.
      Cheers! :)
