Where it's strong is the overall golden hue throughout, which evokes a certain ancient mysticism appropriate to the subject. You also have a handle on textures which, I'll admit, I'm rather envious about. The background is to die-for. I also like how wispy and almost realistic his hair is, especially considering how wild it is.
Areas of improvement include the arms, especially in the shoulders. They look like paper-craft cut-outs, so I'd watch the values carefully. There's also how the cape flows behind him except to his right (or our left). If the wind is blowing one way, I feel it should go completely back, or if the wind is a little wilder, then the cape should reflect that. Finally, ping some highlights where your primary light source originates. I can't tell if it's the red highlight to the viewer's left or some light on the right, but if it is the right, Atem's face and cape could use a gentle going-over.
Overall, it's a wonderful, semi-realistic composition of Atem. It's wonderful to see other artists step outside of imitating Takahashi and having fun with their own styles and techniques.
