the glow of his eyes is intriguing

as is how you have it shining on his hand and the ring, and reflecting onto other parts of his face
If you're looking for advice, I'd say to work on the background a bit. The uniformity on the stalactites kind-of bothers me.
good work

I wonder if you directed his gaze to the ring in his hand, what difference that would make on the mood of the picture. Depends on what you're going for, I guess. It's pretty sinister right now.  Great work!

definitely improved
the eyes give each a different feel
the original looks suspicious of anyone trying to take it, while this one looks very concentrated/entranced on the ring

being much easier to alter than a physical painting
and Oooo... I just noticed the reflections of the stalactites and stalagmites on the pool/lake

Yea Digital art does have advantages, but I like canvas as theres a tangability to it. I'm at the basics of digital and use it primarily as an advanced sketch for a painting im considering to do.
