very nice! only crit: the blade seems greatly less detailed than everything else in the pic - you should totally give it lots of shinyness.

Nightsky is fantastic... Beside that, i have the feeling that you couldn't wait to finish it, so you did the rest of the pic quickly, just to get over it...

i think with the night seeming so crisp the background would be a little more clear and bright. making the mountains almost as detailed as the moon would really tie it together, though not as white. also try adding some deeper shadows to the front where where he's not receiving light, and under that front cloth should be a little more shadow...or light if the fabric is thin around his legs. it's very smooth painting wise, i'm a sucker for that, the armor and white cloth is nice. the gloves especially teh one with sword is a little flat as is the sword. is that a color changed area on the hilt of the sword or light? if it's light then it doesn't work with the shape of the sword, if it's color then maybe bring up the highlite to illustrate the change in color better, it's just kind of muted as compared to the contrast of the rest of the hilt did you use the distorto brush in painter for the grass? i think it's thin distorto or something like that...anyhow grass looks good, a little too rich in color for the night time but it looks grassy. i'll leave it at that for now:D overall it's real nice, it's nice to hear people are makin breakthrough's, i think i just went through the same thing lately too in my digi painting....keep on truckin!
