These are the inks for a cover for a book a friend of mine wants to put together. I've got it up in the Showcase thread but I had a couple of questions.
1. Does the feathering in the wings contrast too much with the rest of the piece?

2. Should I have braught Nightcrawler's hand back into frame a bit? Hoping it would look inviting...sort of draw you into the space...rather 16th century romanticism-ish. Or did I just plain fail and should have braught it back into frame?

Wings are fine, but Angels hands shouldn't be solid black. It makes them hard to find against the wings.

I agree, the wings themselves are fine. The black hands though (especially the left hand) are hard to discern in all the blackness.

As to Nightcrawlers hand, the biggest problem is that it appears as if his forewarm is either busted midbone, or he's suddenly triple jointed. The lines of the arm, down to the forearm, and then "BAM" there's this hand coming at you from a totally different angle. It doesn't smack of romanticism as much as bad forced perspective.
