chubby_cat: Great advice regarding the ribcage, I softened it up a bit, hope it works better now! Great advice regarding the fire, reworked it based on your input as well!
ognjisa: I never mind a critique, especially one as helpful as yours! You make a great point regarding everything from the values and contrast on my paintings, I have a tendency to push contrast to far and not group the values correctly. I like what you said in regarding to grouping them as light, medium, dark, I'll try to be very conscious of this for future planning and have a mental note of it. Excellent point regarding edges and detail work as well. I tend to over detail everything as that's part of my style, but I'll to to tone it down in the future!
The overpaint you did was ridiculously helpful, really helped to (literally) illustrate your point. I love the new composition as well. I reworked the painting significantly with your image in mind, as well as your critiques, and I feel it is a huge improvement, so I'm ridiculously grateful for your advice and encouragement. I also have 'Framed Ink' on my Amazon wishlist, planning on purchasing soon and very much looking forward to it.
Thanks again for putting so much effort into your input, really appreciate it!!!
Shuty: Thank you! I prefer spending a lot of time on the linework before beginning the painting process as I have a clearer idea of how it'll turn out, and it leaves things less to chance. The only downside to this technique is if you have to rework portions of an image which can be annoying, but I find this technique to work very well most of the time.
Great input as well, I have a tendency to overdetail everything so I'll try to work on this more!

I spent a ton of time on this new update based on the input I received. Reworked everything from the composition to the values and colors, and I feel the image is quite improved now. I think it's pretty much done, I will take time to do some final touches on it this weekend, so any input now would be incredibly helpful! Here is the current progress:
