As far as composition goes, what is the focus here? Is it the wyvern, or the barbarian? If it's the barbarian, I would recommend putting the wyvern more in the foreground that off to the side. But if it's the wyvern, I would put more of a focus on it by accenting it with the lighting.
I would also recommend doing some more spokewheeling, which is a term coined by James Gurney, and is basically just subtly pointing small elements in your painting towards the focus. The demons and the sword on the right are already doing that towards the barbarian, and I think it could be even more enforced with the spear on the left.
That's all I've got. EduardoGaray makes some great points, too. Good luck!
