Very nice.
A few things I’d suggest though. When you’re doing “shading” by patterns, like you are on the left side of this pic, you’ve got to make sure you don’t miss anything, because it stands out if you do (warriors right arm and the creatures left hand). Also, maybe different hands could have been used for the warrior, because the thumbs are in the wrong place. And if you wanted to, you could just make the blood all one shade of red and add little bits of highlighting, like you’ve done with the armour and the creature, that could look quite good, but it’s not anything to really worry about.
But apart from that stuff, love the pose, the creatures expression looks really menacing and I like the fact you’re trying your hand at shading, you’ve made a good start.
