looking better man! the legs of the spider still need a bit of texturising though, and im starting to wonder how he is supporting himself if all his legs are wrapped around the dude?

i dont know if it is your style, but personally at this stage i would whack in a few photo textures like grungey metal for his armour, maybe some hair for the spider ad dirt for the floor, just to give the image 'teeth'. That is completely up to you though, its a matter of personal taste, im digging the look you've got going in any case so im just throwing it out there :)
Also watch the backlighting- what is that doing to the subjects? at the moment, nothing, which is slightly strange. for example there is no shadow underneath the spider, which would be cast across the floor towards the baby, and there would be rim lighting on the legs (which would also help pick them out from the background). A large shadow over the floor would also give that nice ominous feel to it, like the character would notice that first and then turn around to see the spider, which is a nice cinematic kinda influence.
hand looking better, but the forearm is still throwing me off a bit. Depends how stylised you want to be i guess, but something between the hand and the elbow is in the wrong proportion, i think the forearm is too big- the elbow according to this is ending under his chest which is too high. id add some more negative space between the armour chestplate and his inside elbow to make the forearm thinner, i think that may help a lot.
but definitely looking a lot better than at the start so nice work!
