RottenPocket: Hmm not sure why you think that is, is something off about that area?  Please let me know now that it's fully painted!

I painted the image.  Initially I was going for a darker feel but I decided to go with bright and colorful as well to make the image pop.  Overall I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, and I'm open to any final input on the image so if something feels off please feel free to let me know!  Below is the illustration followed by the steps for those interested.

Hey, sorry I meant to come back and elaborate more like I normally do but I crashed pretty hard.

Finished or not - this is a call back to previous tips pointing out distracting areas where things don't quite measure up properly and making things appear very 2 dimensional.

In this case for me, the hands, wrists and forearms are a standout for having little structure and seem almost rushed. Hands in this pose I would think would be more light and delicate, but the impression I'm getting here is more rigid.

On the right hand, two fingers appear to have only one knuckle while the middle finger appears to have an extra one, and the thumb comes out at the base of the palm. The left forearm merges awkwardly into the heel of the palm, and lacks the form of the palm usually between the median and distal creases - giving a little bit of Lego-hand. There are some areas that maybe could do with adjusting especially when compared to the stock image where anatomy and proportion should be considered, but it's the hands that I think would benefit most with a bit more attention.
