darktiste: Great feedback! I just lowered the opacity of the snow a bit, but didn't remove it entirely as I feel it adds good detail to the image and helps with the mood and atmosphere. I agree about the yellow on the leaves look better, I changed it during the painting process because I felt they were almost too bright and detracted from the figures... but I went ahead and changed the color with the previous step, as well as keeping the values mostly as they were for a more natural look. The mist on the background is a great idea as well, makes the image more believable and gives the image more depth, so I went ahead and implemented. Thanks again for your input, always very helpful!

Here's an update on the image based on the feedback I received, hope it's an improvement!
Next I began work on a new image, based on a reference photo by one Satine Zillah's reference packs. I chose a reference with a dynamic pose and lighting to challenge myself, and am very pleased with how the sketch turned out as well. I'm going for a bit of a gritty sci-fi feel with this one, which I think will be more obvious when I paint it in. Any feedback before I do what would be highly appreciated as always! Below is the sketch:
