yeh good crit Haze, i would also add that you may want to ration saturation a bit more. at the moment your eye is wandering everywhere, and for me the focal point is slightly awkward- his lower chest plate/luminous crotch.
also the hand on our left needs some work i think, do some studies and nail it, or take photos of your own hand doing it and use that as a reference.
perhaps blurring/ using some looser strokes on the spider nearest to us would help draw the eye to the main focual point-the man. or the spider, depending on what you're going for.
personally, i'd go for the dude as the focal point (nice dramatic uplighting btw, but wheres it coming from?) and have the spider a darker more loosely painted presence behind him, lower saturation and fading in value into the background a bit more to suggest more depth, at the moment everything seems to be within about 10m of each other which makes the eye a bit cramped in movement.
all of that said, i really like the narrative you have going on here (something i need to work on for sure) and you've made a nicely dynamic scene, with a nice spin :)
All the best man.
