The sum up of everything I'm going to say is just simply the word FLAWLESS. First the stance in which you have placed him in portrays the tyrannical king perfectly in his raging might and his evil power, ready to take what he wants most. Next the hazing effect given to the mane flowing around the image and the dark mist from his eyes truly expresses the fear aspect of the character generating the grim feeling of him consuming all light before his presence. Now the crystals have been given such detail as to generate the real awe of witnessing true gemstone and the gloomy bland color scheme adds intimidation to that awe for enhanced darkness to this dark being. Altering the armor from the original reflective steel to what you have now as a set made of battered stone installs the strong might of a king ready for war about to charge straight into the heat of battle. For the smaller things the emphasis of the glow in his eye draws attention to the viewer to see his animalistic nature, the feathered look of the rim of his cloak tells us of the greedy attitude he possessed during his original reign, and the sandy desert in the background shows the barren lost mental state of the evil villain. Finally the lighting is pitch perfect contrasting the hot sunlight on his armor and body with the overwhelming shadows of his mane and tail. The only thing that has been the reason for the .5 deduction of originality is that we all know this is a character owned by Hasbro and isn't an original character, but other than that utter perfection!
