Yeah, I'm a bit late to the party, but here I am nonetheless.
Let's start.

I want to start off with the light effects, which in my opinion is the main focus point of the drawing. So! First of all, I'll give you that the overall lightning effect is quite pretty and neatly done: the plasma curve is clean and the small shockwaves around it do add some intonation and intensity to the visual effect. The small, yet visible, lens flare touch near the hand also add in more to the immersion factor, something that is always welcome in art. My main issue with the lightning/plasma is that, if going for a more realistic light effect, then a lot more than just some borders should be blue, as to what's visible. This is more of a real-life situation concerning how colours and light actually work (in this case, as your Lightning sends a blue light, and thanks to science and how the electromagnetic spectrum works, then the mask and the cape shouldn't appear as Yellow and Purple as they are depicted due to the fact that some light colors are absent, therefore not being able to actually reflect on a surface of said color, etc...) but as this is not supposed to be a very realistic depiction (or at least, I think), then it's not as big of an issue. Still, it would make for a more appealing and unique aethetic look.
Another issue I have is how the tail-end seems to glow and emit its own blue light, instead of just being illuminated by the lightning. Also, as for the cape, the shading done for the cloth fold are in my opinion a bit too drastic- they should be lightly more blended and soft at certains areas, as well as a bit more dark as its distance is greater to the light source, to give more depth and dimension to the drawing.

Now going more for the coloring, there really isn't much to comment about here: Kitzu's palette is the same as ever, and your lightning depiction is blue, like most electricity depictions you did in previous drawings. I will note though that I really love how you drew the eye; it's one of the smallest, yet one of the most impacting parts of your piece as the gaze pierces right through your heart and conveys quite a lot of emotion.
And if we talk about the shapes, then I have to say his anatomy is really neatly done, considering it's a Uberhero, he even looks T H I C C (it's not a bad thing, to the contrary even!). The hands look quite neat despite having some smaller issues, but with more practise these small issues eventually go away.
The perspective, on another hand (it's a play on words, just you wait), is more debatable: when it comes to his right arm/hand, the proportions respect the perspective, so no problem here. The other hand/arm, though, seems a bit too big for the distance it's supposed to be at- it should be a bit smaller. It doesn't change much, but adds up to the immersion and overall impact of the piece.
As for the pose itself, it's nothing too new, but its great execution makes up for it.

The background, really simple, being just black, is with this piece a neat decision as it makes the lighting contrast a lot, giving the latter a more important look, and grabs more the attention this way too.

Your style is more clean than in previous pictures of yours, despite retaining your trademark lighting, shading, coloring and linework.

Overall, there is always place for improvement, depending on how you want your style to go, but we can see you improve with each piece and with each piece, your style gets defined as well as stands out more and more from other styles, not only in the fandom and among your friends, but as well as with the generality of visual artists.
The overall idea isn't anything out of the ordinary, and even if there are some minor issues, the overall piece is neatly executed and is quite memorable is it particularily stands out more than some other pieces of yours.
Best of luck in your artistic path, and I can't wait to see you improve more and more.

I hope this wasn't too long of a review either, as it seems I wrote over 700 words e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="417" title="Sweating a little..."/>

I'd leave a long and meaningful review about how great this piece of artwork is, but I'm sure you're getting tired of always getting only reviews from me and not others.
