Behold the doom knight and his shadowy stead; Bob!

MORE SHADING!!!!

The black looks really flat right now, there is almost no shading on it. When you want to do black, take a color close to it, but not 100% black so that you will be able to add shadows.

And use low opacity brushes and do everything in greyscale first.

Other than that... it looks ok.

Ya needs more shading. His face is very devilish tho. Bobs eyes are too solid. Marque the eye. then select dodge and set it to highlight or shadow whichevr works. dodge untill the middle is white. the make a smaller selection slightly within the edge of the eye. Then ad a glow with red. lower the oppacity on the glow and make sure the fading is VERy smooth. and the glow isnt wide. itll give it a really good glow. Works even better if u make the eye a bright yellowish orange annd then ad a red orange glow.

Better?
Except giving it more shading (i think) and making Bob's eyes glow, i also gave the "shields", that hang on the side of the horse a more wodden look and removed the pentagram: I also made the horses hair a darker red, as it looked like it was part of the Team color... I also changed the face of the knight a bit (don't think it will be that noticable tough...
