Ok, first off I love it. You did a really good job on the card and I really like the texture you used over the character. It really gives it a almost watercolor/marker feel.
The background I love! it really pops agains your warmly colored character.
Only thing I would really change is the part he is standing on, I think it looks like you forgot to fill it in with the background, its a little too clean and too black if you know what I mean.
You did quite well! I have to say I love yoru style of drawing and colouring. The faint glow that you added works very well with the theme and mood of the piece. And I like how Its yellow, and very faded. The gouls and ghosts and such are quite wounderful, and amazingly done.
I think the weird thing about yoru background is that it has that triangel things at his feet. I'm not sure if your going for a shadow like effect, but it doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the darkness of the gouls and such.
Anouther thing about the background might be that the grey near that top is too straight- and that doesn't flow wuite as well either.
But over all this is a wounderful piece. I think the only thing I can see is just the boxyness of the grey lines. I think if they where more curved and maybe smokey it might blend better. Thats just a thought though.
Lol be careful posting that on dA unless you want hundreds of nico fans hoarding over you 8D (I swear sometimes I wish I didn't bother posting those PJatO doodles XD OTL don't tell them I said that though :I)
I love the background so much~<3 XDD Nice choice of pose and coloring looks awesome! >:3

WAHH NICO LOOKS SO AWESOME :'D
The ghouls and monsters really do make him seem more like Hades offspring-like XD The darkness really does do that, that, and it does make him look like when he turned on Percy!
I really do love it, and I'll be sure to finish my half soon(I've been trying to multi-task with other stuff, but I'll try to finish it up tomorrow!)
Thanks so much, Fun-chan~ Momma Icey loves you<3
Wow! This is awesome Fun-chan!! <3
I'm so jealous of your shading skillz 8D
And all the details in the background really bring out the character :DDD
I'd probably rant more about him if I read the other books :3 (*only read the first so far .3.)
GREAT JOB!!!
*hugs and favs*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
As soon as I saw the words "The Ghost King" I started chanting Nico's name and muttering about Percy Jackson. LOL;;
He does look pretty smexy. <3 I really like the coloring and his jacket. The background is especially cool, how the ghosts are "welcoming" him!
