Overall I really like this piece.
The only 'flaw' I found is that his hand seems to be at a strange or flat angle to the viewer when compared with the rest of his body. It seems to me that he may need a little more light around his silhouette with the bright backlighting.
I love the strokes and the beautiful cool colors with high contrast in brightness around his body drawing the eyes to focus. The bright magenta splashes over him and on the left help to really balance the picture.
It looks like he's a god emerging from the shadows. The strokes and the way the colors cross his body look like smoke and give the impression of wind or motion, at least. He makes me think of a personification of Hades.
Well done.

Thank you so much! Yeah, the fist was precisely the area I struggled with the most! I'll try to give it a fix sometime.
Thank you for your comments!

Powerful yet a very beautiful rendition here. The framing, color and the sense of movement do add to it as well.

This format for the drawing is kind of wierd, its like a forum signature. Regardless you did a really nice job on the light here, everything looks quite professional. His face looks sweaty (in a cool way) I found it kind of strange that he got some sort of strong glowing cyan colored thing all around him but this strong light doesn't reflect in the skin as much as it maybe should be doing.

Hi!
Yeah, cyan was actually way darker and subtle, but that made my values kinda dull and boring. Had to sacrifice accuracy in favor of value range, maybe one day I can make both work!
