Hey there did a draw over!
So, a couple things id do here is make sure your using the rule of thirds. First thing my eye saw was her giant for shortened boot :P I did have trouble fitting the guy in , having him right next to a foreshortened object has alot of weight and importance to the eye because our eyes are trained to find figures first. All i did though was play with scale and size. I would take him out entirely or find away to integrate him into the composition. I'm sure you have a specific scale in mind base on what this is from or the story. Another thing is where the archer is looking that makes a huge difference . If you look at old renaissance art a lot of the time they use figures looking in one specific direction to draw your eye.
The arrows are flamed yes , but red or warm colors draw our eyes like spice, as red on a primitive level means blood . My hard care opinion would be focus on the narritive and forge the bars as they are a very clear shape but that's my two cents.
What I really liked was the way the archer was faced and the fact my eye followed the arrows being shot at him.
Alright! its up to you, but that's what I saw and my feed back! Good luck !
