Good picture. I think I most like the indication of the sleeve on his "ice arm". Whether it was intentional or not, the ice's placement appears to indicate the folds of the arm sleeve.

Question-

Are the elements simply meant to be symbolic, or are they intended to be physical?
Eh, the elements were originally meant to be symbolic, but I didn't put much care into it so I guess they're just literal now.

If I wanted them to be symbolic, the fire would have gone on his right arm, and would have been held up; ice on his left pointed down; they would have been positioned like the baphomet's. The right usually symbolizes masculinity, logic, and lightness. Left is femininity, emotion, heaviness.
But whatev; it's my character, Nekros, anyways, demonstrating his power. More of an unplanned sketch than anything else, because his magic isn't that physical either. Heh.
Also I disagree with it being 'good', more like spewed out at the last second; rushed. I do like the shading on the left side of his scarf thing, but the lineart and shading and proportion everywhere else is shitty and careless.

tl;dr I could have done better. But thanks :3

I immediately saw it as symbolic rather than literal myself. Because of where the flame is in relation to the lighting on his face, my immediate reaction was "The flame isn't there physically; it's his will ablaze, not fuel".

As for which side is which (left versus right)... can't you just mirror the image?

Anyway, it's an awesome picture. Love the hood details in particular.
God that is so beautiful, Corinna. <3
