Description
Who am I? So many faces
Dressed in rags for all to see
Here I am, in the mask
A jester who wants to be free
Music dragged me (temporarily?) out of my months-long art block. It's not so much about the lyrics as the energy in the song. The chorus demanded an action-packed illustration for...for...heck, I don't even know by what name (or pronoun) to refer that character anymore.
I almost feel like this is the only piece of art I've made...in a year or so...that I actually enjoyed creating. It got me out of bed and off to school every morning so I could sit alone in the computer class, taking advantage of the wide-screened monitors and speakers until the security lady chased me off at closing time.
I still have issues with consistency in facial features. I think I got most of the background figures to look alright in the end but the one in the foreground still sticks out. I plain can't draw hooded eyelids at that angle plus I didn't have the heart to erase the mile long eyelashes.

More of this loser (Elo, if you are reading this - piss off, spoilers):
Of convenience - "realistic" portraits that now seem rather off-model after a couple of rounds of stylization
Feinobis age meme - different ages
Saint Elmos Fire - one arm down, one to go whoo!
Sanctuary - personal mindspace
Boarding Paragon - medfant subplot
Row Faster! - medfant subplot after six years
Some credit goes to I used their Model Kneeling Staff Stabby Pose Reference and The Force - Pose Reference For Drawing as, well, references for faces.

Firstly, I sincerely apologize on how late this feedback comment is!
This is beautiful! The different poses, perspective and design are all wonderfully eye-catching! The way you've done the lighting is very dramatic and yet you've managed to achieve this feel with little to no color. I applaud you on that. It is very clear that you have spent alot of time on this piece! However, after looking at this for a bit I am noticing something that could be adjusted.
Firstly I would like to point out that the lady holding the glasses on the leftside's hand is backwards. Instead of the thumb being upfront it would actually be her pinky. The dude bellow her with the 'x' on his hand...his hand looks very strange and I'm not sure what pose his hand is in...if he is looking at his palm or if it's the backside of his hand. And lastly the main subject who is powering a lightbolt with his prosthetic robotish looking hands. I understand his hands are suppose to be metal which you did well, however their position and the way they are posed feels very stiff...almost as if he is unable to move his wrists at all. If this was intentional than you can disregard this, but I feel even robots would have more movement when it comes to their arms. I would suggest posing yourself as he is and see how your own wrists bend.Β
Besides these things I noticed this is a stunning piece and you should be proud of it! Thank you for sharing your lovely work

Thank you very much for the thought-out comment! It was a joy to read. And thank you for the fave as well. I think the dramatic light is dramatic not despite the few colors used but because of it. I figured that since I already have some issues with contrasts and facial features then I could keep the use of colors to a minimum so as to be able to concentrate on the shapes and bringing the overall look together.
Turnt the womans' thumb around.
I think the dude with the "x" (which is actually a burnmark in the shape of a cross - he had a bit of an oopsie whilst facing some demons while holding a crucifix) has been fixed a bit? I'd done the same mistake as with the lady above him and put his thumb up the wrong way around, you can probably tell that I have some ever-deepening issues with depicting hands. 
For the figure at the front I'd used this picture as a reference. I don't think the wrists looked all that odd to me before but I changed the angle of his right (our left) arm to add a bit of a bend to the wrist-area, hopefully it looks slightly better.

I took a look and you did awesome! I can tell that hte boy on the right is looking at his palm now and the lady's hand looks correct! The slight bed you added in your character's wrists helped with the stiffness look alot. After looking at your refrence photo, you are right you didn't necisarilly draw it incorrectly. I think the model was just posed in a stiff way to begin with x3 when I do the pose myself, which is why I mentioned it, my wrists would naturally bend, if I thought about what I was doing and tried to mimic the original pose, I could but it wouldn't be too comfortable.

Because of the red wolf in the middle?
(Would a grayscale red wolf be a gray wolf by default?)
I'm a bit upset that I couldn't fit a single "For Red Pawn!" anywhere on the image, nor superimpose the characters' inauguration speech over the background. Turns out pictures need some blank space to breathe. XD I suppose two of the incarnations are wearing scarves so the characters' phase of being a Red Pawn general is sufficiently represented regardless even if the scarves have no color on them.

Yes, the wolf is the main reason
