I like it, but I think you should try and get it behind the arm. that way, it makes the shape of the arm stronger.
but I like how you did it. specially with the tree branches and all

Beautiful color selection and shading style.
But. What is the character's body language trying to communicate? It's a strange pose and underneath it I get the sense you're having difficulty with anatomy. Try to convey a message, it doesn't have to be just one primary one, it can be mixed signals, but try to convey them with your characters.

Posture and base, like karate or so. (http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/philippejugnet/001-8-1-1.png) I really suck at anatomy but I don't see any problems right now..

yeah the pose and the picture in general could definitely tell a different story, perhaps something like "Then I took an arrow in the knee"

Well what I really have in mind when I see this picture.. I'd like to see the warrior who just survived a war, wounded, holding his sword up high as sun lights up the sword and makes it shine.. It would make the warrior look much more triumphant.

I'm pretty sure my post got deleted twice, the one about complimenting the style of this work. What is going on?

Here is the progress. Stava and everybody thanks! but Stava that's not the idea of the piece, I have something planned and I am planning to put it into the description (http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/philippejugnet/003-4-1.png)

the way the helmet sits on the head makes it look like the helmet is too small, rather than the head being too small for the helmet, which is what I think you're trying to convey. Also, you really need to draw the feet. It's okay to have the feet half hidden or maybe even a whole foot hidden, but hiding them both like that just looks really cheap.
