Well, I must say the shading is pretty nice. ...and this is VERY good for one your first few sigs.... Now, onto: Shadow's Suggestions For Improvement: ^_^ The shoulder pads and knee pads seem to stick out a lot, though, get rid of the white border (or at least make them more of a light blue than a white.). The snake looks out of place, it's the only thing not shaded. The shadows of the trees are too... vertical, it'd look better if it were diagonal, or a more arbitrary angle. The leaves of the palm trees look weird connected like that, they should taper to a point before touching the trunk of the tree. Grass doesn't look good as a gradient, unless it's to shade light and dark areas of a hill. In other words, try to make the shading more random, instead of just darker on the left, lighter on the right. You might want to add a border around the holy symbol, and shade it.
