The head looks a bit off, a head looking to a greater degree would be better. The arm should be a bear arm. It'd just be cooler. Get rid of the eagle and hot air balloon.
I think that head is OK, but maybe you can try to add some glitter to his eyes. I don't like the background of skater-bear (vertical bars and some yellow highlight).
I think that you can try to enlarge that balloon and shrink a bit the hawk (or maybe it's an eagle?).
I'm not sure about that orange lines... Maybe something else? Like a star-burst? Or some motion blur?
I would recommend working on the contrast between the skateboarder and the background to give the image more depth
i would've chosen a different bear head. this one looks like you found it on charlton heston's wall (i.e. kinda dead).
not sure what purpose the bear's background is serving. is that part of any corporate identity or mandatories? if not they they distract me for no reason.
as for the balloon and falcon, i'd either give them a bigger role or remove them altogether.
and i agree on giving him bear hands.
the general concept is cool, but you can improve it. personally I don't like how the sweater is on bear face. Also, all the head is kinda "decapitated". About the hand, I think if you change it or not cause the cool efect you are looking for.
I like it - sense of movement and intriguing. Draws the eye in, but is that what you want for a busy desktop wallpaper?
I like the concept. I would add a different bear face because that one has no emotion and looks too cut and pasted on. Also I would move the hot air balloon higher in the sky to make it float more and and maybe move the hawk lower (just a mater of preference)
Also Im not sure what the pink swirly lines on the wrist "add" to the concept. It kind of confuses it.
I think that the fusion of the head is not quite solved.
To second a couple of posts here, to me the head needs alternative sourcing, there's something more scary than powerful about the current bear head it looks out of place. I would also rework on the contrast of the boarder to imply depth. The blue hues are also too dark for me, the overall imagery here is too dark and reclusive here and not vibrant enough, which I imagine runs contrary to the intended purpose!
keep going with it, it only looks half finished... design is in the details
