I've made a series of edits to suggests some areas of improvement.
Go to this LINK (click on the word "LINK" even if it doesn't look like a link).
A quick run down: - extend the top of the illustration a bit - make the tail of the snake overlap the guy's cape - to make it clear that the snake is a shadow, paint in it some of the wall's color variations - dramatize the lighting a lot more - color your light and shadows - cast shadows - add some scaly patterns to the tail of the snake
You're off to a good start, yet you've got lots of possibilities to improve this illustration.
Go for it!

P.S.: my repainted example at the other webpage is a quick retouch: use it as rough example, not as the "perfect" example.
