I think that the use of colour is great, azure blues which add crisper, realised texture, and of yellows which brings not only the richness and contrasts of the blue out, but helps to smooth everything. This allows you to travel in those specific field of colour, bringing pigments that seem may out of place but merge so wonderfully; incorporating brown into the far edges of the yellow to bring down the, what could easily be, nauseating factor of having to much of it in one place. Another effect of chasing these two colours around the canvas with one another is to add a stark contrast between fore and back. This is played upon wonderfully by the paints as they do most of the work on perspective for you, with no harsh, black lines to point out such errors of the eye. Dropping upon the subject of the lining, I do believe that leaving out darker detail, at least at this stage, is a masterstroke. It leaves an idea of texture, in the terms of potential glossy highlights, as well as an ambiguous idea of what lies within or behind these tramlines of white that run all over the yellow, bending the viewers eye around the piece in a orderly manner. This piece has reminded me, quite pleasently, of the great works of a Yoshitaka Amano. You've, if you're not already a fan of his work, probably already seen some of his works adorning the covers of the revered Final Fantasy covers.
Anyway, I've rabitted on enough. You have many things which you need to be drawing better than me.
Great work.
And I hope I haven't bored you, or sounded preachy.
