I would say that your coloring is spot on for the skin and the overall glistening muscular features. The shading is perfect for pieces that I have seen of a similar style. Lastly, your attention to detail are amazing. I love the veins bulging, the facets of the sword, the details of the gate in the archway. It just shows how much you care about the piece.

Other than that, the only thing that I see that you should have done differently is that it is a known fact that the Greeks (Spartans), Romans, and Trojans were all uncircumcised. In your piece, the warrior is clearly circumcised and that takes away from the feel of this being a Grecian, Roman, or Trojan warrior. This small detail is the difference between selling this piece to a buyer, or even an art gallery, and not.

Overall, though, this is an impressive piece.
