Very cool

Now here was a very dark piece and you have some nice blood effects aswell but I think you put too little of blodd here there should be more blood spread out all over, like his chest and all, but maybe thats just me but if he is is battle he could use more blood.

More use of blood ofcourse.

Congrats on your first post! Also, first submission! Looking forward to more of them, cause this one looks promising. He looks mean and menacing, and the way the darkness blends with the character and the blood on his paws light up the picture is really... awesome. Judging by the sword and the chainmail you can see it's more than a just a monster, too. Great art!
