Hey Gekko, Because you are working in a surreal style, it's hard to critique your stuff because it's all very subjective. It's hard to know what you are doing on purpose or as a mistake.

Okay Gekko, I changed my mind. Because this image has anatomy, lighting and perspective, I thought it can use some critique. If what I say goes against what you were try to do, then disregard. To begin with, perspective, the checkered floor is not following the rules of perspective. I don't know if that's what you were trying to do, if not, it's wrong. You need to set up a horizon line, two vanishing points on that line, and then create a two point perspective grid based on those marks. Anatomy, even if your going for a stylized figure, if you want it to look human, you have to use proper anatomy. Perspective will also be a factor with the body, especially because you are using planes to describe the figure. Lighting, if you want your image to look 3 dimensional, you have to use the correct lighting. Light and shadow reveals form and describes when one shape is in front of the other using cast shadows. I did a sketch to show you what I'm talking about, I hope it is useful :)
