I don't think the 'explosion highlights' you've added to Spidey's chest/leg/arm etc are as good as you could have made them. The flat colour version of is really cool - and Spidey has a very strong Allred vibe (I like him!). Adding the soft edged highlights really weakens him, IMO. I think you should take a look at some other ways of dealing with highlights - and do that bit again.

Also, with all the lights on in the offices etc - I'm guessing this is a night time scene - but the colours don't really suggest that.

I hope you don't mind - but I've messed about with the pic a bit. You might want to take some bits and reject others etc.

SO...I've changed the way Spidey is lit.
I've added some lighting on goblin to bring attention to him. He also looks more maniacal now too. Oh, and he's lit by the moon a bit too.
I've tied the background colours together a bit so that they're more sympathetic to one another - and made it feel more like night time.
Messed with goblins smoke trail. I guessed it might look darker at night? Dunno. THe blacker trail looked better than a white one on my monitor - and I liked teh way it tracked round Spidey's form.

They're only quick experiments - so ....yeah. Reject or tweak or use.

wow, that's awesome beastie. i was kind of trying to do that. but it seems like i get scared to cover the colors too much.

i re-worked the colors some. good thing i saved a photoshop flats. is this better?

You've definitely shifted the colours enough for it to look like night time now.
