Maybe a lil' bit too contrasted. Try to add more details on it (espacially on his cape) and maybe that the armor is "too metalic" if you know what a mean, I mean that your character is going less memorable in this way.
...Just some lil' pieces of advise for you... :wavey:

I'm finding the right hand side of the figure difficult to make out. I can't tell if it's a knee with an arm leaning against it or what. Also, I think it would be a little more dramatic if the face were darker and you just saw detail around the eyes. Right now the face looks a little flat. I kind of like the metallic effect on the blade of the sword. Good start, especially on the helmet.:D

It seems kind of flat to me. You're really not using any elements to show perspective. I've drawn over your image (I hope you don't mind) a few things that might help, but it would probably work better with a different pose or at least the full character in an environment that wasn't so abstract.
[yellow line] First thing I noticed was the bend in the sword. If you have a ruler handy, use it. In a pinch, any edge of a book will work also.
[red outline] This object or objects really confused me. I think it needs more definition. My guess is that it's his arm resting over his knee. If thats what it is, pick it up a bit to show his hand and push the knee out to the right so you can see a bit of the inner thigh. This will help the perspective as well.
[white sketches] I did a few things here to help break that flat look. First tilted the head to the right and down. This gets rid of the parrallel/vertical lines on the helmet. Draped the cape which also gets rid of another vertical line. The elbow is pushed out a bit to get more perspective into the image. You could also play with the scale a bit to show it more in the foreground.
Finally, if you want to keep the abstract background (which resembles a fire), I'd try to tie it in with the character a bit more. Add some reflections on his armor and light highlights across his clothing.
Keep at it, though. You're definately onto something good!

art7sayan; thanks, I'll try the solutions
wildsheepchase; You can't tell if it's a knee with an arm leaning against it? Me too hehehe... I agre with you, the face must be darker
Kirt; yellow line= yes, the sword have been in a lot of combats hehehe kidding :thumbsup:
red line= thanks, I will make some tests, they consfuse me too..
white sketch= in the vision completely frontal, the perspective distorts less than it seems. The image seems really flat, I made it in pieces and I joined later, it was manly painting test than of drawing, and it was everything done using mouse,nothing hand-draw an scanned, but anyway I post here the lines that I sketched before beginning
:)
