First Impressions: [6/10]
at first glance what i thought (sometimes unedited thoughts
and how my mind works when i first look)
my first thought was "wow its tiny. i need to zoom in to see this."
then i noticed the colors in the piece which is good.
but then i saw the girl. she looks like she's coming out of his neck.
i think thats a little strange. even the guy's facial expression looks like
he's a bit uncomfortable with her being in his neck.
lastly, i liked the font.

 

Technique: [17/20]
how masterful are you at blending/cutting
blending seems good.
between the guy and the building is nice. between the guy and the girl is good.
i think her hood got too lost though. theres a lot of empty space where it should be.
that probably contributed to her being a part of his neck look, 
because she doesnt  exactly "end" anywhere visually.
 

Resources: [16.5/20]
does your images/stocks/brushes/textures enhance the poster
images are good. quality is good. texture used is good.
i like the paper-iness of it. i think you could experiment with colors and more textures though.
sad posters need not be monochromatic. just a little but more colors can go a long way.
heres an example of a poster thats has more colors but still dark and angst

i like that you added a stock, but using it just to fill space is not its sole purpose.
stocks should enhance the poster and give the message you want to convey more meaning.
so if i apply this concept to yours, i would say, "what do buildings have to do with being broken?"
nothing obvious. i think a different choice of stocks would have been a good choice, 
like broken glass, broken mirrors, or anything on the concept of fragmentation.
these are good examples of how other designers incorporated this idea into their posters:

Chapter 50: Sorry for the late comment bb! Thank you for the review! I wasn't too sure on this one, and I started doubting myself after I sent it in, but I guess I should be more confident because you thought it was interesting ^^
I do admit I oversharpenined this a bit more than I should XD The pictures used were fuzzy after I resized and I overcompensated by sharpening too much OTL
