Lots of action going on here and you handled it well. The cape does look at little stiff and should flow a little better. It is difficult to tell where the light source is, as the cast shadows are almost absent here and again you really need to boost those darker values. The texture of the paper works well for sand, but it distracts from the overall image in this particular medium in my opinion. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing.

    This picture was pretty much a practice piece, such as lighting and shading, and sand texture and scale. And actually, the paper had nothing to do with the sand. I just stippled with various colored pencils to get a grainy look.

    Yeah, I had a feeling the scanner would butcher the shading. It looks much better and darker for real *kills scanner*
