Yo

post much bigger image so we can view it in all its glory!

Some hardcore crits, although I do like it:

background is obviously a photo which doesn't match the foreground, middle ground elements

because....

you use very soft brush edge hardness, or you blur with a soft blurring brush. Hard edges are great for bringing focus in to specficic areas, while soft is great for blending - not everything! You've utilized nice hard edges in the structure above him, but the rest is really soft and "glowy"


otherstuff:
sword handle looks kinda small for two hands - could be a dagger but look at the cross bar - it's massive hehehehe

Also, to test the composition try squinting your eyes, especially if it's black and white. You'll notice that hisarm gets lost in the background values -be careful and think of mini compositions in areas of focus.

Finally, compositionally speaking, try to space things out if they meet creating a awkward tangent such as that structure and his fist. Also the details behind his arms are tough to make out (right knee maybe?) Planning a contrasting pose before spending time detailing will solve this in future

This is a great example of strong effort and improvement will be right around the corner. For practice and study, try to paint everything in one layer to bring unity to a piece - kinda like sculpting clay

cheers,
Matt
