For painting with a hard brush, it is super soft. I think you are relying on the opacity settings of photoshops brush too much. Pick the color/value you want, and paint with it full on opacity. Don't pussyfoot around with a hundred strokes of varying levels of pressure. Be confident and lay down what you want.
This is as close as I could find to ref? I think you did a good job. I do agree with poop that if you are going to paint with a hard brush, that you commit to some strokes. It is kind of hard to tell where the shoulder pad ends and the background starts? it looks like you tried to paint over parts of the shoulder pad with the background color set to a really low opacity and never quite covered it up. Also the flesh tone is really pale I was thinking vampire when I first saw it. Give the bat some color in his cheeks. Also his hair isn't that long and hanging down, unless you "improvised a little"
well, i kinda blended in the shoulderpads with the background because the edge looked too sharp :x
and the pale skin is because i'm somewhat of a wow addict and wanted to create an undead-ish warrior
and the hair is something i added myself (to test out some hair painting techniques) i didn't want to copy that exact same scene (the one you posted is the correct one )
