Those photostudies are really paying off for your environments, and the one you just finished did leap forward with the crit. The red-green palette looks great on it. One thing that niggles my eye with it is the rock bridge in the foreground - though the background has a lot more depth, perhaps the arch is just a bit too compressed to the frame the image, so it doesn't initially read as being above the river. Also it may help to enlarge the highlights a bit to separate it more from the values of the tree behind it.
Absolutely loving the sketches and building of your monster hunter design. The variety of textures in his final costume works out well - it looks interesting, but you used the studies well to make it consistent.
