the abs look ridiculous. Just erase them and make him wearing a shirt. the right arm on the inside goes up to far. He has no shoulder joint!! Color would also help this piece. Right now it's just line art.

Warning: A Rather long and wordy criticism headed your way.
You've got a start, but this piece could use a lot of refinement. If you are going to be serious about art, I would suggest investing in a nice anatomy book, and studying from it. Currently, the muscle anatomy is off, and the proportions are off. Also, the mountains don't look really realistic in this case, and seem to be a far over-used filler in most runescape pieces. If you must use mountains, study real pictures of mountains. Mountains do not all look like upside down V's. Granted, some do have rather harsh peaks, but there are others that are more rolling, and further more, the peaks are the only part of a mountain that look like an upside down V, the rest of the mountain slopes.
Here are some examples of mountains, do you see how they vary in shape, and how imperfect they are?

Finally, this piece is not balanced at all, at least, not yet. You have a character, taking up most of the left half of this piece, while on the right, there is almost nothing there. To counter-act this, add something to the other side, whether it be a copse of trees, or a wagon, the point is, something should be put there to balance this out. Now, Please do not be discouraged. This piece has potential, it just needs to be refined more, that is all.

i'll work at the mountains and anatomy when i am shading
-
That's a fighter's torso right? It looks really close to the item ingame, good job.
IMO the forarm and hand nearest to us look a little off, and the mountains need some work, but you've gotten a great start on it so far.

another update ;D

it was a fighters torso
i gonna make verac :)

He looks like he is 2 shades of skin color split right down the center of his body. Try to not make the lighting so eve. His face looks cramped. His features are tiny.. I suggest some reference for his arm muscles. They don't look remotely human. The abs have turned out better than I expected!.
-
I like his costume, just a cape and a red paper crown. Bizarre and funny :-\
I don't know much aboot Runescape, but this pixel is pretty goofy.
Are those sand dunes that he's standing in front of? If so, why the tree?
-
i gave him a dragon chain

It looks more like a plate then chain. chain would be looser, you wouldn't be able to see his abs under it.
-
this is a d chain:

it looks more like a plate in the game then a chain
-
so wait, because the runescape design team decided to name something that looks like plate mail 'chain' in their game, you should do the same?

The only reason it looks like plate mail is cause that game got hella bad graphics
-
Even if it was plate or chain mail, you'd never see his abs.

Those are not his abs.

ter-o's not saying thats his abs (Thats clearly just the armour's shape). And no, his muscles wouldn't show through the armour but I suppose abra71 just wants his character to look strong, why not help him with his work instead of going around in circles guys?
I would advise you to work from actual chain mail references abra instead of working as if you were pixeling plate, if your character was so toned his figure would show to a degree but not as extreme as you've made out. It's ok to exagerate but working from whats true to real life is better practice, because as stated runescape game graphics are hardly the ideal thing to go by, even with the updates.

Well, currently, the guy in the signature looks like he has a pretty tight thing on where you can see his abs through. Either that, or something like ter-o posted, but then he looks pretty "thin" (the guy). So that needs some reworking if you ask me.
