ok, this might come off harsh, but i'm not in a wordy mood and will straightly just get to the point: technically solid and the pallette works, though the skin portions could do with a little more contrast, BUT.. the sword is ridiculously long (seriously, c'mon, where would he put this thing, he'd probably lose a finger or two trying to put this thing into a sheath), the waist painfully thin and the torso is way too small either. i mean just look at the thighs, a single one is as thick as the waist itself. if it wasn't for this cramped and stiff sumostance he'd probably squash certain parts (considering the size of his knife though, it might already serve as a compensational means
). also, the distance from the waistline to the top of the head normally is about equal to the distance from the waistline to the ankle, your legs here almost are twice as long. that the torso isn't big enough also shows at the shoulders, which are broader than the torso actually would allow here. his left shoulder is quite dislocated, hanging in the air. this is not meant to bash you in any way, but really just genuine critique and i hope that you will use it and benefit from it.
just don't let coolness get in the way of logic or reason
cheers
