The concept and and angle of this piece is really nice. I like the chained beast idea as well. I see little problems here and there, but overall this is nice.

The clothing on Jesus' could be done better. It should be at least blowing to a good extent due to the beast affecting the wind as it chases the sheep. Study drapery and the way it wraps around things.

Also there should be some deeper shadows and higher contrast. This beast is emitting light powerfully and is very close to Jesus. The shadow on Jesus's back should be deeper. Since the the sheep is directly behind Jesus, it shouldn't be effected by the light so much. There should some type of shadow casting from Jesus.

The angels attempting to restrain the beast should have more dramatic poses. They trying to hold back this demon yet show little signs of frustration. Their expressions are fine but their poses could be improved. This mainly shows on the right one. It looks like he's pulling but not restraining, you know. Maybe show some muscle tension. Or show his arms a little more expanded.

If you look closely, his hands aren't really even grasping the chain. The hands on Jesus could be better too based on realism, but that could be a style preference as it does hold consistency through the angels.

The composition is really nice on this piece and you used balance effectively as well. Good work Fordz.
