Description
I was listening to Spaceman by The Killers and kept thinking of the characters that could come out of it, and three hours later, the drawing of this came out. Three DAYS later, the coloring got done.This is a real landmark for me because I have never drawn more than one character in a scene before. :3
FOR GIMME FEEDBACK:
Are the anatomies consistent throughout the characters? Is it clear where the light source is? Do you get this image when hearing the song/do you think of the lyrics?

First off this a really good drawing. Second I only have one suggestion, since the lighting is coming directly below them there should be some shadows in the face and hair, possibly on the shoulders as well. But other than that I think it looks good.

Actually, I got a more sort of sad feeling from this song. I imagined autposy tables, asylums, broken dreams. Going to a different planet in the hopes of leaving the evils of Earth behind only to find the creatures on another planet are just as terrible.... WOW I'M DEPRESSING, okay ignore that.
Red haird boy: Looks pretty good to me! His tourso is a little long, but some people do have long backs. Feel where your rib cage ends, and pelvic bone begins. For me it's about two and a half inches, so not a lot of space there, and I've been told I have a long back.
Green Haired Boy: Pretty good. I think his head is a little too big, anf you'll want to broaden his shoulders. Now hold your hand in the same pose as his and take a look at it. It's more natural and more comfortable to keep our fingers spread, and you have a good concept of bending the fingers, but they could stand to be more flexible. I love his mouth! His facial expression is exellent, it really adds to the outerspacey feel, like "gee I wonder what's out there?"
Blue Haired: To be honest, I'm a little thrown off about whether this one's a boy or girl. This might be because of the file type, but I can see a faint splash of pink around the lips, so I'm going with female. (please forgive me if I'm wrong! T~T ) I like the hand, but I can't tell which way the body is facing, and I do think there needs to be more of her body visible. Looks kinda like she's poping out of the red haired boys' side or back, like a tail. (that'd be cool, but I digress)
Lighting: LOVE IT! Very bright, very pretty. Light source is obviously comming from below, but! This effect needs to be exagerated more with shadow. Light always casts a shadow which you aknowledged in some places, but it's inconsistant. The light source is so bright that the shadows should be much darker. It's like shining a flashlight under your face.

Thanks so much. And I'm glad someone who's heard the song is looking at this. I tried to make the characters in this the way I heard them in the song "The Starmaker says it aint so bad (Green Hair) The Dreammaker's gonna make you mad (Blue hair) The Spaceman says everybody look down (Red hair.) And thanks for the compliment on the lighting. And yes, I have issues with doing shadows. I feel I add too much sometimes.

Actually I went and sought out the song and listened to it like 20 times while I wrote the comment. 
*gasp* Ooooh I get it now, yay! 
Yeah, it's easy to overdo things, but once you under-do and over-do then you can see a good midway point.

I'm not an expert so I'll give you my amateur opinion...
I really like how you did this pic, the sources of light look great and I really like the way you did the characters bodies. It's nicely composed...
There are some things I think I should mention though...
First I'm not sure I'm getting the image right, I could understand that the red-haired man could be covering part of the other men, but where's the blue-haired man's legs? it looks a little funny since you are showing one of the legs of the green-haired man. The fact that you can't see any of the legs of the blue-haired man and just one arm from each makes it a look a little odd and flat... But maybe I'm not getting what you were trying to do...
The anatomy seems fine, the only thing I'd point it that one of the hands or the red-haired (the one on the right) man is chubbier and has shorter fingers than the other, also the fingers seem to be almost the same length...
the sourses of light are great, love the effect, but it's not really reflected on the characters, I think you could mark a little more the shades and lights since the sources of light are so close... you'd also get a more dramatic effect I think...
Anyway, hope it helps, I really like how it came out...
Nice Work!!

The hands on the middle person look great but on the other two people, they look a bit distorted because you can't move your hands that way. the lighting ource is clear

lights seems right and also proportions (i remember you like to draw big heads (^__^).
there's a prospective error in the hand of the guy with green hair, the line where the fingers join the hand goes from bottom-left to top-right and should be from bottom-right to top-left, the hand drawn as is now should have the side of the pinkie longer than the side of the thumb (^__^)
there's something in the blue hair guy which makes me think that is his right arm the one i see and not the left one, maybe is the way the cloak is drawn but i can't identify what is for real, just a feeling.
bye

The anatomy is fairly consistent, but the person on the far right's face needs to be turned slightly away.
It's fairly clear they're being up-lit from their hair, but it needs to be shown on their bodies more.

I like the lighting, it seems to consistent to me, but I would take out the light spots behind the main character's shoudlers. They would be overshadowed, not highlighted. As for anatomy, the only thing I can see is that the noses change from the angles. Here's a tutorial on faces if that helps. [link] [link]

Thanks again for the tutorials. Noses are pretty hard to do for me, especially the shading.

No problem! Noses were near impossible to me for the longest time as well!

From #GimmeFeedback
So there are a couple things I have noticed.
Red haired dude: Great. Everything looks in proportion and I nothing seems wonky.
Green Haired dude: The hand holding the orb is in an odd position. Perhaps tilting it a little to that the fingers are facing more towards Red head and less towards the background.
Blue Haired dude: Where are his legs? Where is his other arm? Something is telling me the fingers shouldn't be facing out so much. Its the exact opposite of Green Haired dude. Also, the head seems a little big. I understand that he's supposed to be looking over his shoulder, but his head is too big for that to be the case.

Anatomy isn't quite right, but not tottaly wrong, I think they're heads should be smaller. The light is coming from beneath them right?
I don't know the song, so I really can't answer that. If you add more shadows and more tones, the lightning will be even better!
