Painting Looking For Direction: Suggestions?

Hey guys. So I'm working on this paiting. It's not quite done (I would say maybe 80%). But I wanted to post it before it was finished because sometimes I look at it and say, "wow this is really going somewhere" and other times I look at it and say, "ew, I could be doing this, this and this so much better!" So what I'm really looking for is just some feedback from some third party sources.

So here it is. I'm just looking for some feedback to keep me in the same direction. Thanks.

PS Sorry for the shitty quality pic but I don't have that nice of a camera

Here since that picture is so shitty, heres a close up of all four corners in relation to the whole. We'll go bottom left and counterclockwise from there.

I'd say watch this video so you can figure out how to rip someone else's workhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtzdxseO-gs&feature=related

Eh, I was inspired by a bit of it. Sometimes it's good practice in my opinion to study other techniques and replicate them. And it's not like I'm looking to publish this painting or make money from it. It's a hobby that I do for myself because I enjoy art and I've just started paiting. It's just fun to paint, and since I've just started I thought it would be a fun idea to start with someone elses stuff and build upon it.

Kind of like when you learn guitar. You start by learning other people's riffs and songs so that you can make your own? The same principle in my opinion.

And when asked, I do give the people credit that made that video.

Anyway, flame on if you want. I can see where this could go...
