[TehSamsam]

Were just trying out something... Anyways, now I dont want any critique about anathomy or the figure or the objects... I require knowledge if it looks living, not some statue or something. And please, critique how to make it look more living if it doesnt look like lively enough.
Thank you allready, who ever is gonna critique/comment on this picture

try darkening the lines, perhaps vary line width to create dynamic lineart, or add some darks in to the negative space to bring out the form of the dude. Its a good start, I'd say to rework his helmet, make it look more realistic and useful ;p

Looks like he's defending himself against an attack. I reckon if you really want that lively feel, I'd suggest:
1. Changing his action from a passive one to an active one. Maybe make him an attacker? An active role strengthens the sense of liveliness. I think it will be really cool if you can show him with his sword raised and at the verge of chopping it down.
2. Let us see his eyes. You tend to relate more to someone who you can make eye contact (or something similar) with, and that helps us to treat it like it's something alive.
3. Whoever he's fighting with, you better show him/her too. Showing him interacting with an opponent reinforces liveliness.

Don't know if my suggestions are helpful, just giving my thoughts.
