Hi, WIP need some critique

[Theory2D]

I actually really like this one. I like particularly the usage of contrast and how it is reserved for the focal points as well as the realistic style and blank, predatory expression of the creature. The only thing I would say is that if the rider is ahead of the creature distance wise, it is semi hard to tell at the angle the monster is shown. Perhaps instead of the creature being completely horizontal at 9 O'clock, he could be at a diagonal 7 O'clock?

If the monster is intended to be laterally beside the rider, then it may be better to have the rider's head twisted to face the creature rather than straight forward. Just my thoughts anyway XD.

Overall, very well done!
