pretty good stuff. good action and costumes. The only part that looks flat is the guy's far arm. I think that problem stems from the lighting...you've got a strong shadow below them but the highlights aren't focused on one side. It might sound goofy, but in your next image, pose up some toys with a lamp to get the lights and shadows you're looking for.

Yeah the painting looks great for a study. Dynamic poses, a good view of the fight. I think the contrast could be brought up a bit and would help sharpen the image. Like bwkeough said, some stronger lights could work nicely. Looks like a great scene.

The sun it is far on the righ side of the image and due that the clifft it is very hight and because there is rock blocking the sun a bit the light that hits the caracters is very low.
