In the midst of order, chaos
I like the architecture on the buildings, and the birds are nice touch. I wonder about that wooden frame at the bottom of the image though, in the brickwork... it can't be a window, so what is it? Or is it just there to break up the monotony of the brick work?
Also, a query about perspective... did you use a vanishing point here, or did you wing it? The perspective on the buildings looks fine, but I find that I've been having a hard time when I need to draw something like this, with multiple parallel structures but a vanishing point that's two or three feet off the top of the page. Are you taping the board to something and then marking a point, or are you just that badass? If there's a technique being used here, I'd love to hear about it.
Nice lighting on the characters, and espescially nice colors... Warlock and Seed are really excelling. I espescially like the reflection in the girl's goggles and the soft shadows with reflected tones along her arms.
