Mostly practice, and a way to show KT's back, not too much, save for an SPQR tattoo on the upper left of his back.
I'm... satisfied... as far as how this turned out. When I'm finished with the armored version, I'll move this to scraps.

Shhhhhh..... If Caligula was emperor, he would blindfold me before the fight, saying it would "Make the spectacle more interesting" >,=,>
On a quasi-related note, I'm gonna make his death-stare more metaphorical, as I'm growing tired of people saying the same thing about it over and over again.

Well, if it doesn't work through a sheer veil, just use that. If you can still see perfectly well through a bit of silk bandana... might make some sort of fashion statement, who knows? The masked basilisk! (The crowd would think you're blindfolded when you're not...)
I'm a venomous reptile, toxic to mammals, but some still court me. So although you have no interest, I'd go for a basilisk like you. Danger can be a good aphrodesiac.

Very well done, good sir! In some places, I'd say it was a step forward, but I feel there was a few strange things that didn't sit well with me, but I suppose I'll go into detail WITH ALL OF IT
What I found best about the pic was KT's bust, how you shaded the face and shoulders looks very cool, it looks almost flawless, I could say the same about the shield(except for the circular metal... doohickey in the middle looks off); I like how you did the metal edge's look, but the problem about those is the shading on the back feels a bit rushed in comparaison, with a few things that irk me.
It's mainly just one thing that's got me scratching my head about the shading and it's where I'd expect the shading to be darker, it's actually lighter. I see you changed that for the tail, so that looks good to me, but in other places along the upper back there are lighter spots. I can see where you have the light source coming from, so having the lighter spots just looks wrong, but I'm hardly the go-to guy for details like that, it just doesn't sit well with me.
As far as anatomy or the pose goes, I feel that the way KY is grasping his polearm/stick/weapon looks a little awkward, but I suppose that could be the legionnaire training, but he looks very stiff because of its steady horizontal...ness. I just can't see it being easy on the wrist.
That said, I like how the rest of the body is posed, the legs look very natural and he's holding the shield loosely (which makes his polearm-arm looks so stiff to me) and I like how you did the lower back to the base of the tail.
As for the background, I really like that wall and the stones! The door looks a little bit artificial, mainly because of its color and the setting in which you have the picture. The door is flawless (no wear and tear from battles) and, well, a very fresh looking color of blue, which seems inappropriate for an arena.
I can see the kinda look you were looking for the sand, the only problem in it for me is the sand grains look a little too big to be sand.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY DON'T HATE ME
