    I'm not sure how critiques looks like(I never did one) but here you go, some advices :)
    With my bad English, sorry...

    First of all, not really an advice: I love colors here. Good job!
    Now.
    I would recommended you more work on anatomy, character here looks like their neck was convolute by someone but also I am not really sure if chara is turned to the front or you wanted the torso to be back, but I suppose that you wanted it to be back when I look on their hand :)
    Forearm should overlap a bit on arm, right now it looks like their bone is stamped from natural "habitat".
    For hands I can only recommend some photos or tutorials, I can't draw them either xd

    DON'T BE AFRAID OF CURVED LINES!
    I know that's a cyborg but metal parts would look cool also if lightly curved/rounded in corners, you should draw them a little bit concave, especially on arms because of how arms are not flat(I hope that you'll understand, I wanted to show it to you while drawing proper lines on your artwork but I thought it would be somehow rude while not asking you for a permission, but if you want I can send you something like this, just tell me, ok? :) )

    Next is another thing about metal parts, it would look better if all silver/metallic parts were colored with more shiny texture, try to find on the Internet tutorials about this, it's really helpful.

    Lighting is quite good, but I don't get how their back is also lighten by fire. It should be more darker the farther fire light is and even more lit by the shores(?) of body (just like it look on face :) )
    Try more details; middle of ears, more shadows on hair

    Okay... I think this is the farther I can go, I don't really see more of things.
    Hope I helped in some way :)

      ahhhh thank you so much for this !
      Anatomy is definitely not my strong suit, but I'm trying to improve. This was kind of a risky pose for me to try, so I'm really glad for the advice! ^^ (Yes, it is supposed to be the back shown.)

      Looking back, the metal looks a little flat from the lack of curves, so if it wouldn't be too much of a bother for you, I would really appreciate it, actually. <3 (Thanks for asking ^^)

      Thank you so much for taking to time to write this! <3 I'll try to keep these things in mind for my next drawings ^^

        You're welcome :)
        Like I said, you can search for tutorials for anatomy, metal etc on google, those are really helpful!
        I'm happy that I was helpful, especially if this is my first critique :D

        Something like that: http://i.imgur.com/cbnFEr0.png
        I just noticed that lines on arm are a bit thick but I hope that curves are visible.

        So yeah. Good luck at your next drawing :3
