good lord! that's a big file!
aside from that...
Spend some more time working with foreshortened figures. The axe and left leg are not working properly. Can only be solved by drawing alot..
It's as if you have 2 separate drawings. The figure and then the object the figure is standing on. The figure should cast a shadow, this will help "ground" the character, make it look as if he is actually touching the object.
The background and textures are great! You only need to work more with lighting and figure drawing.
Take some of those dark areas on the creature and put them into the object it's standing on.
Keep at it, you've got some nice stuff here.

I agree with Samdragon, but there's also something wrong with his upper body. I guess you tried to get the perspective right by making the lower upper body small, but it didn't get right.
I love the background and the atmospheric feeling, really nice work.

just like to comment, nex thats a very nice latin name you got , which really means: violent death, slaughter, death.

His right hand looks like it was purposely hidden behind the rock. It's better to learn how to draw hands than to hide then behind parts of scenery.
