That being said, more lighting.
It's dark right? Torment, pain? You need some good overhead lighting, some harsh shadows on the face and wings.
Definately too much white space. It makes it look unfinished. The shirt should have none, the wings are going to be fairly light/white no matter what so you'd have to eat up the white space somewhere else...my first instinct is the shirt.
The background is cool, definately like the color and concept.
Maybe a little more detail on the wings.
But very good.
(by the way, I don't know how it works at tnl.com, if people actually want critiques or not, so don't be offended if people don't usually criticize work...that's just how I'm used to working with other artists. Critiques are exceptionally brutal and critical.)
