Dmitry_Morozov works (need your advices)
polycounter lvl 7
From the outset I want to apologize for my awkward English 
For a long time I am drawing this concept, but I can't complete him. I need an unbiased view from the outside.
This is raven enchantress. I meant that this is a girl obsessed with the evil spirit of a raven (by analogy with the obsession with the devil)
This greatly exhausts her, as evidenced by emaciated leanness and slouch.
The dark spirit has not completely mastered her, so part of the torso and one arm are still human, and the other side is covered with black feathers.
The main guideline for the quality of work is this concept:

Issues:
1) Drawn a lot of elements, but they don't agree well with each other. The concept looks unfinished and scattered.
On the concept chosen for guideline the number of elements is about the same (or even slightly less) but they are much better consistent among themselves.
I see for sure that in my art this integrity and coherence is not present but I don't understand because of what and how to fix it.
2) I'm not sure about the idea with the staff. Variant with a crow's head on top of a stick - this is very trivially, depicted in hundreds of other concepts.
Nest on a curved snag seems a little strange idea It is intended that in it live "black nestlings".
It is intended that in it live "black nestlings".Enchantress can attack the player with their help (by analogy with the film "The Birds" Hitchcock)
3) All elements seem very similar, I would like to diversify them but not to the detriment of the integrity of the whole concept (with her and so many problems)
I have several ideas on this, I wonder what you think about them:
I really hope for your comments and help!

I tried to show how elements created from different types of fabric fluttering in the wind to emphasize the impression of her flight. The idea of the crow's nest seemed a little far-fetched to me, so staff replaced by a more conservative variant.
In addition, I suggested that a necklace of bones would make the enchantress more sinister. Something close to this impression:

And just for example this is what I'm reading from your concept through my own personal tastes. If there are parts of it that are wrong to you, just make sure to define how you want it in your concept so it won't end up that way in the hands of another artist.
I fully agree with your comments. The concept really have problems with subtle attentive detailing. For me it has always been difficult to express the main idea, not only at the level of common forms, but also in small details.
I hope that I will be able to implement your advice in the final work!
This is a battle thurible. It is used by warrior monks belonging to a radical religious community. The prototype of the medieval Inquisition, which eliminate witches and other "possessed by evil spirit", based on religious beliefs.
Сritique, as usual, is welcome!

This is not yet complete. It is necessary to believable show the material of the old ceramics from which a pitcher is made. Now it is very "friable".:
