great work 
Ok, now to the nuts and bolts:
I will break this critique down into model and photographer/post.
Model:
Pose and attitude: Great post. Love the feeling of "I am about to cut your n*&'s off!"
Facial:
Decent shot, but I think there could have been a bit more snarl in the lips.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Photographer / post
Wardrobe:
Outstanding!!!! You make me want to learn how you build those piece and start learning how to sew! Not enough to actually DO it but you make me WANT to start! Lol.
Composition:
Good use of the frame over all. Your subject is the main attraction here but fits the back ground. Nothing in the image is miss placed or draws my attention away from the focus. Good choices!
Photoshop / post:
Good subtle photoshoping. The electricity is almost too subtle. I could stand a bit more enhancement. Just a small nudge up in luminance but to much. I like how you actually left a cloud trail on the dagger as would happen when a person raised an object that is smoking. Maybe you could blur the furthest part of the smoke to give it more movement?
Suggestion: A technique I found (maybe you used it here...it is hard to tell) Over the entire image (background and forground) create a new layer and fill it with the most dominant color (in this case probably PSD color 354d6c) Then set that layer to overlay. Then bring the opacity down to something like 23%. Play with it around that level. This seems to gel backgrounds and foregrounds in a unexplainable way. It is like using shading on the ground to create the illusion of shadow contact. Hope this helps.
What does it all mean?
Overall:
Very dynamic, original composition. There is something a bit static about the hair that is bugging me. I don't know why. One more thing, frost breath seems to be missing. This is a great piece and you should be very proud at your efforts!
Just my 2 cents.
