Hey dude, your painting was very interesting, i hope you don't mind if i did an OP to explain some stuff ! Well, since i suck at colors, i'll mainly talk about values ( even if i suck ) and composition . Your main mistake is that everything is at the same interest in your painting. you have to put priorities on everything. First : shapes ! The 3 wormshead are about the same size, so i resized them, puted the cow boy smaller so the worm appear bigger and more terrifying ! Concerning your light source, you also have to pute some priorities ! the moonlight was as light as the light from worms. For a matter of storytelling, i decided to darken the moon to viewer get cosued on the worm . Concerning values, don't texture before your values looks convincing, and with this light set up, textures would be really light on the worm. Don't push your contrast too much on the shadow part ( top of worms ) it's really killing the volumes and the overall values pattern of the picture ! you did well on overlapping forms to create depth ! I lighted the cow boy with more logic due to the light source, and trying to play with the story, like that's kinda saying " you can't excape ! " Hope this OP helped, don't hesitate to ask if something isn't clear ! i might also do some mistakes, since i'm still learning :D but i think that was worth doing it !
