Ohh not bad.

It's the upper thigh on the knight's right leg (our left) that bugs me. It just doesn't look right, maybe it should be thicker?
The colouring is pretty good.

This pic makes me wanna play warcraft 2.

Hey nathan, I rekon it looks sweet, love the lighting. I don't really like the way he's holding the sword, but you didn't do the drawing anyways.
Great colouring Job

weel I replied for you.. but I can;t say I love you.. lol.

as for crit, There doesn't seem to be much contrast. You know the rule. "the lightest light on the dark side should be darker than the darkest dark on the light side."

hmm sounds confusing but hopefully you already know it. Well to my point. Everything in this picture seems a bit stuck in the midtone areas. Maybe thats because of the nightime scene, however the lighting seems kind of diffuse. I would expect areas near to the feet of the characters to be darker, and the bits nearest the light sources to be brighter. I think you should try to push your yellow highlights even closer to white. maybe that will help.

Hope I was useful...

The arms whats really getting me. It would be a bit more dramatic if the sword were angling away a bit, like he's about to bring it down on the draggins noggin rather than showing it off like some actor showing off their cola sponsor in a bad tv sitcom.

The wings could also extend out past the page. Right now they look like they were cropped to fit the space.
