Okay, here are some revisions I made to the figure's head and face, since that seemed to be what people had problems with the most. I understand I might end up having to change more of the pose than simply the head, but I wanted to see what effects people thought these small changes made to the illustration, before I possibly go in and make more significant alterations.
I still plan on following many of the other suggestions people have made here. In addition to changing the character's expression to a more serious look I also am going to blur/blend parts of the snake's body in the foreground to make it look more like it's moving.
Also, what do people think of the sword higher in the air, as in the first revision shown here? Does it disrupt the flow of the composition any, or does it look a little less forced?
