Great usage of values and lighting. The minimal usage of colour accentuates the mixture of warm and cool greys and adds to the overall atmosphere. Certain elements like the crows(?) gives an ominous sense of danger and adds to the presence of the main character in the frame.

The bottom font has an exotic look with certain design characteristics looking like blade or sharp edges which compliments the central character's weapon. The scaled look and perspective of the lettering also adds to the dynamic of the characters movement. Also the lighting of the font allows for clear visibility and readability without detracting from the character.

The "Ludwig Louton" wording seems a bit out of place to me.....maybe it's the size, style or placement of the font. But i seems to be either conflicting with the imagery of the birds or the font choice just doesn't compliment the piece a well as the bottom font does.

The character seems to have a slight tilt to the right....but the left leg is stepping forward. Shouldn't her(?) weight be resting on that leg, hence, leaning forward, since she's going up the stairs?....or at least leaning more to the left.

Overall, I like this illustration. It captures a certain mood and created suspense. Pretty good execution.
