Love him and the overall effect.
He reminds me of a "Voldemort" who got his hands a little dirtier with his angsting and surrounding decermation.

That is really Creepy! In a good way. hah. Good work. Your colours are fantasic. The background looks gorgeous and it makes the guy in front stand out even more. The blue glow was a great idea. You wouldn't want this guy coming for you.

I don't have much to critique here, but the cloak directly behind the shoulders of Koschei is angular and gives the impression of nebulous wings, or poorly defined clouds. Then again, you may have been going for that effect. I can't pretend to see inside your mind.
By the way, the author Charles Stross portrays Koschei in a very different manner--a symbol or codename for something more terrible, rather than an actual ugly person of evil appearance, or a deathless fiend. Read his novella "A Colder War" here.

Look's like you realy enjoy the russian folklore ^_^
There is a great character in there! Svyatogor-bogatyr, he look's like a big old man on horse. He is big like a moutain, and have a great svord, that one day was given to Ilya Muromets.

he looks kinda... mean
I really tried to find something to critique on, anything, but I really can't find anything regarding composition contrast lighting. But I can say that it might look neat if you would of spiced the sky up a bit more, since it isn't cloudy
Awesome. Dont Spice The Sky.
