Hi hi
Cant tell whats going on in the background, I see a dragon with one wing and a donut shaped mountain spewing light - Which I guess is a compositional aid, but its not really working, because mountains don't spew light. Story telling wise, how is this a final stand? It looks like a worn down warrior giving up (thus throwing his arms out wide like that, exposing his chest).
The picture doesnt really provide any visual cues as to what is going on except the evil lady is about to shoot a crossbow, is she even aiming at our hero? - She looks a bit indifferent. Is he even our hero? Why is his clothes so tattered when his plate armor and weapon doesnt have a scratch, and who has he been fighting? Maybe he is responsible for the one winged dragon.
His weapon seems awesomel, is there a story to it as well?
Who is the indifferent yet evil lady with the blue eyes and will there be a sequel?
Using the lighting situation to pinpoint focal points or suggest composition is a great strategy, but your mountain light source doesnt make sense, maybe if lava was flowing out of it... But this light points at the front of our character which we cannot see, why? Is the only purpose of this light to guide our eyes towards the relationship between his chest and the crossbow?
Before you redo lighting, think hard about what story you are telling.
