First, the positive..

This piece does a great job of following the open-ended outline that I gave for such an image. You captured the idea I was going for, even though the image wasn't terribly specific.

Overall, I really like the composition/layout of the piece. Most elements fall in place that draw the eye, it makes good use of the page, and you've designed around logos, etc.

The character designs are solid, and are recognizable. The similarities and differences between the two characters are appropriate.


Now, on to my concerns...

The first thing that I see is that the anatomy seems problematic. The body shapes are fine, and it's not unusual to have problems with feet and hands, but the perspective/angle and proportions of the heads and faces needs work. Pay especial attention to where the eyes lie on a real face, and how the image represents three-dimensions.

While some elements (stones, the moon, parts of the tree) look realistic and appropriately stylized, others don't seem right (the crows, parts of the tree, gravestones).

Overall, you have a potential, but a long way to go before you're working on a book. I would spend a lot of time working on the basics of drawing figures, and make sure you're comfortable with a simplified realism before trying to develop a style.
