A crappy colouring job

Not too happy with the image, but glad it's out of the way. I learned a lot more about colour process, and I have a few more ideas I want to play out in future images. Hopefully those are better.

Two of the things that most annoy me 1:some of the colouring in parts. The lighter/vivid areas look all right to me, but it gets ugly and muddy in the dark corners. Fuh. Remember to plan next time! 2: Composition; I think my first drawing was better composed than the final. But I'll admit that composition is probably my weakest or one the weakest points of my work. A lot of the time it's from over-working and analyzing the image, trying to get it to conform to my elementary understanding of flow and it screws up the image almost every time.

I FOUND YOU!!!!!
I think there needs to be more of a transition between the purple parts of the painting and the immediate areas of color surrounding it particularly on the right leg, or tone down the purple a lot.
The composition ain't that bad at all! Just that the way the cape flows into an angle at the top left is a bit distracting from the overall flow. Just try taking out some of the purple in parts or toning it down a bit. I like the bottom left part of the composition looks like a crucifix!
