I think that it looks great! Not having the original pic to compare it to I can't tell you if it's a good likeness.
As a critique, I think that the main figure doesn't "pop" away from the background enough, especially considering the vividness of the background colors. I think that perhaps deepening the darkest colors on the dog would help him stand out further.
I also would recommend sharpening up the eyes and perhaps the nose a bit. I've found that if the eyes are nice and sharp that it sucks you into the image quite nicely!
Well, I'll just reiterate my comments but add this: I really recommend going down to smaller, more detail-oriented brushes when you get to the eyes. If you can manage to get those right, the rest will fall into place.
I also want to reiterate that I do think this is an excellent painting!

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect.

She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
