First off I have to say CONGRATS on the atmosphere, you've achieved it perfectly, though in my opinion, in order to fit the tone of the game even more, I'd have darkened the picture a little more than you did.
In general I agree with much of what has been said in the other critiques, such as it having a realistic vibe with cartoony undertones. I admire how you haven't made this realistic-ness primarily a dull boring brownish gray like most do and rather made the colours both faded and eye-popping where it needed to be. The detail is immense!
To a further extent, I also really enjoy how you made Daniel appear, he's very kept and self-contained, constantly observing absorbing his environment for threats and traps aswell as a way out. I do think you could have added a bit more emotion to his face though, but the (Gatherer?) in the background really adds to the fear and intrigue that is to come. I love how the perspective lines up with the deviation as well, it makes it all the more intriguing to look at than just straight forward.
Other than that, the only thing I'd have worked a little more on is maybe blending the colours together for a smoother approach and increased the heaviness of the clothes.
Overall, I wouldn't say that I'm envious of your work but rather amazed, and hope to achieve the same in my work, thank you for making such a nice piece of art, and inspiring me for amelioration of my art.
First of all, the realistic style of the background and characters really adds up to something. Most fan art I've seen of Amnesia is rather simple and animesque/cartoonish, which isn't a flaw by itself - but a more realistic look serves the original game's atmosphere well. Especially remarkable are the textures on almost every surface: from Daniel's clothes to the staircase of stone.
Also, I like the way you have portrayed Daniel. Again, if I compare to the masses of other ATDD art, he is usually portrayed as a wussy coward, never mind he's determined to kill the man who deceived him, or that his flashbacks reveal him to have been a brutal torturer and murderer. To me, you have caught his character well: yes, perhaps unsure of what's ahead, yet will-powered and strong.
I don't know whether you intended it that way on purpose, but the picture overall fits the game's name nicely: The Dark DESCENT while Daniel is shown at the ending of a staircase, standing in the darkness.
