I love your art style when it comes to these things. This is the only one that throws me off. I thinks its the big yellow glow on the left side that does it (I'm prejudiced against yellow so it might just be me, however I do like the yellow circles and lines on the rest of the body) I just think that you use black and shadows really well, and because the yellow is so intense on that arm, I'm missing out on some of that deeper color I love in your work. The blue looks fantastic, but I imagine yellow is harder to work with.
More of these please!

I think its because it isn't a solid color, but rather a big gradient with a lot of transparency. In hindsight it might look better if I'd made it like the Mystic's shield.

i like it better, i felt as if the background detracted from the piece as a whole, like it changed the focus from the elementalist , to the background.

Yeah, thats whats been annoying me the most about the other one. The more detailed the background, the less focus on the character.

yea, backgrounds are good, but sometimes it can shift the focus of the piece in an unwanted way

I vote the Quad Tank. 8D
Okay, in all seriousness, this is better. But if you want to give the impression that it's in the heat of battle, then I suggest a few things you can do:
1. Adjust the laser angles to something steeper. The lasers look like they're about some 45° from the horizontal. Make it somewhere from 65° to 70°.
2. Add debris left and right like rocks. And maybe on the bottom. But do make sure that the Elementalist is clearly visible, kay?
3. Motion blur the picture a bit, with some clever angles. For lasers, use anywhere from 65° to 70° (just follow the first suggestion). For debris, use a straight-up 90° or anything more than 75°.
I can't write a special critique for you because I'm quite short on words and, well... I'm not a Premium Member.
Good luck.

Cool! =D
Unfortunately, that's all the advice I can say for now. I leave the rest of that to the other users here. =)

This one looks better in terms of the overall design. The only thing I would say is the legs overlapping at the feet, it's a bit hard to see what's what. But that might just be me.
Looks amazing though.
