I think the flames add more interest into the whole piece and the sparks are pretty good but I recommend using more variety of sizes and also the the spacing could be more vary. For the armour, I think you just need to make the reflectivity of it more obvious and also add some chips and cracks to show that it has been used. For the brooch, I added more reflectivity and also make it so parts of it catches the light more. I am not to sure how it's attached but if you can find a 3D model reference, that should help you with the rendering more.

Lord of Frenzied Flame
Notes de l’artiste :
I apologize for uploading art that was considered "finished" beforehand, however I like to do some retrospective on pieces I liked in order to improve. For this one, I wanted to honor just how cool this boss fight from Elden Ring is, the enemy's design is crazy and so I wanted to make emphasis on the flaming head it has and make some sort of cinematic fighting scene. I still wonder if I made the right choice about the flames I added around, and the little specs of fire, I wonder if maybe I should have placed less of them to not take away from the center of the image. I also find that the rendering in the metal pieces (the tarnished's armor, the brooch on the boss' rags) looks flat? I like the work but I know it can be better, so I ask for help on improving it. Thank you very much in advance, and thank you for offering this tool for free, as someone currently struggling I intend to buy the course eventually and getting even a small preview has helped a ton in convincing me! Have a nice day!
