Hey guys, so I need help with this illustration

[Kiareri]

Ok, I've been working on this piece for a while and I've gotten to the point where I like it too much. So I need you guys to rip it apart and tell me whats wrong with it. Someone told me that the lighting is off. But I can't tell where it's off at. Anything you can suggest would be a great help thanks! Hopefully I get a lot of feed back so I can make this piece even better.

The shading on the male figure isn't deep enough. The pipes that go into his skin don't look like they're going in. They look like they're just sitting on top of the picture - like a bad cut and paste job.

The shading between his thighs needs to be more like the female character. Deeper shadowing to give the character more depth.

It's a beautiful piece

Wow thank you for the critique! That's extremely helpful! I knew posting it on here would be good. Most critiques I get are kind of vague and doesn't really specify where to improve on. Thanks again. I'll implement that and re-post it.
