Help me with this GIFT for a friend! ^-^

So next weekend a friend of mine throws a party for his birthday and I made this image that I want to print out in A2 size. This was created on an A2 canvas in Photoshop. What do you think of it? I do know that it has some flaws but I hope they are minor enough to get over with Just tell me your opinion ^-^

Heya! Minor critique only because this looks great already: I'd try to define the focal point a bit more since the big beast is kinda stealing the show for now.

I'm guessing the main character is the one in front since that's what would make the most sense, so try making some highlights in her hair slightly more orange (more saturated) and maybe have a few more details on her outfit to offset the high frequency of details of the fur in the background.

Maybe also a more defined rim light to make her pop even more

Just ideas, but as I said it looks great already, nice work!

TY so much for the critique I tried to do the best I could! I hope the speech bubble adds to the narrative of the picture, I wanted that thing in there from the beginning because I was inspired by DeadSlug who also does this in some of his pieces and I love it. But I'm not sure about it, so maybe tell me if you like it or not ^-^ Anyways ty so much for the critique @marc :3

I don't really have much to add to what @marc said. It looks pretty sweet. The beast looks especially awesome! I'm sure your friend will be pleased, well at leat I hope XD I know I would.
