The concept for this reminds me a lot of the game Okami. Combat using a caligraphy brush. Very nice work!

Nice color and texture mood!! my comments on this ..hmm..the brush effect look nice~
the thing that he summon out..should it be brush thing also ?? coz u make it abit like robot thing..so maybe look abit no nature~ then background u can find a chinese mountain then use ur brush to touch up.. ( >w< just my comments..you can let me know ur comments too )

There are some custom brushes in Painter that do the job very well, but my Painter is frequently corrupting my files so i try to mimic the brush strokes with Photoshop's Hard Round Brush, Opacity and Flow set to 100%

Try to vary the sizes of your strokes and use references!
