I love the idea you had of making the design look like charred wood or metal, I think it creates a nice effect and has elements that look like both. I like the shading in both the orange metal (copper) sections and the brown wooden sections, the detail really brings to life the material you were thinking of. I also like the darker charred segments that accentuate the patterns of the design. The steam effect in the background and that comes from the top of the skull is a very nice touch and adds to the effect of hot and charred!
