Leaving for a bit sooo (and critique appreciated)

(Sidenote) I have to stop my subscription for a couple of months. I just opened a new Muay Thai gym and I have college etc. I don't think I can use the boards after my subscription runs out. I hope to be back ASAP though. Friend me on deviant http://joshnordin.deviantart.com/ and keep in touch. I'm also accepting comissions as well.
But now since I have limited time, can I get a critique on:

It just doesn't feel right to me for some reason?

Posted on DA, but will put it here too. Good luck with your Muay Thai gym. I think that is very cool.

I feel the textures are too clean. Add some grit, shading and texture with hatching (many parallel lines close together). It should feel crowded, he is surrounded on all sides. I would even suggest to either crop it down so the demons on the edges are a bit cut off. It will feel like there are more of them and more claustophobic on the hero. I would even add the 3/4 profile of some heads facing the hero in the very foreground.

I think it is very good. Just needs to be more gritty and in your face I think.

I hope to see you back on the boards soon.

Got your comment, I commented back. Thanks again!

I'd suggest looking at the shading - it appears to me that some of the figures are shaded to appear to be lighted from the side, while others are more up-lit.

Looking good - keep up the work!

Sorry you're leaving. Be back soon. Blood Wolffe has pretty much covered my commentary. Good shading will definitely help to put better perspective on the scene. But even if you don't change a thing, it's still a cut above a lot of the stuff I've seen.

As for the whole Muay Thai thing... Way to go dude. I love how fast and close one has to be to do Muay Thai well. Elbow strikes rule!

As I said before... Come back to us soon. Preferably with action photos of yourself.

I was trying to make the shading go with the glow from the sword. Thanks for the kind words.
Bruthaman - Thanks again, I've been doing Muay Thai for a long time. I do have some pictures of me training in Thailand.
