pretty good, you might want to add some effects so that the spartan doesnt look so plain, unles thats the look you were going for
Its pritty big. But really nice. I suggest taking the bottom off up to just above the weight and moving the text to the spartan's head level.
hhmmm i like the background, it looks nice the spartan could use some work however it just seems like its there try giving a different weapon, or making the weapon down and try doing adding some effects so it blends him into the background somewhat =] 4/5 you have potential i can tell
looks great for a first try keep going and try to blend him into the background a little bit just for astetics
