You can start to see where I'm going with this. A slight lighting effect to show how bright the heart is. I also tweeked the shading on the heart to make it stand out more. Still clueless on the eyes.

Some people are having a hard time telling what I am going for. So here is the image with the lines layer turned on.
The heart is glowing in the center. And the guy is supposed to be lit only by the light and fading into the background kind of like a fog. Does this help?

| The main thing I think it's missing is the heart actually glowing from its center. |

I had a really tough time recognising the shapes either side as hands.
Shame in a sense that the hear isn't more at the centre of focus. At the moment we're seeing it as if from the back, with the attention on that guys face. But it's definitely working, keep at it. |

I like the style that you have... to make it seem as tho the heart is glowing why don't you try making the background darker as the picture gets farther fromthe heart.
Then only acentuate the major parts of your character in light wiht the rest fading into the back... |

| I think it's not reading as a glowing heart for two reasons: The heart itself doesn't seem bright enough to be casting intense light like that, and the entire image is so bright and vivid, it's not allowing the yellow light to stand out. I'd say simplify the brushwork on that heart, make it a lot smoother, a lot shinier, and a hell of a lot brighter, and tone down the orange, especially as it gets further from the heart. |
