You have indeed improved a great deal Ronins. Though I can't help but feel that there are some things that could use improvement.
For one, you don't seem to have inked this one before colouring it. Normally this creates a nice effect but here it actually hurts it in places. The face suffers the most from this as the pencil lines here aren't as sharp as other places, such as the hands.
Secondly, the pink light while a neat effect, isn't done in a consistent manner. For example the lighting on his left hand shows far more form than the lighting on his side.
Finally, and this is a minor thing, his armour doesn't show much damage when compared to his body. Kind of hard to believe that he's that scarred up but doesn't have a single scratch on his armour.
Dude looks far more intimidating than he used to though. Satsu is definitely earning his reputation as a monster.

Wow thanks for taking the time to crit. I rarely think of these stuff when rendering OC's, which might explain a lot of the inconsistencies. It's more of the fun of rendering to me but these are all valid points I need to instinctively learn to apply. I never ink my digital renders but its probably the shine that I apply that hinders or covers the details. And yes need more practice on second/third lighting.

What really makes the second light source here difficult is that it's a different colour from the first one. This makes the shadows from one direction a different colour than the other. Have you tried setting up an object between two lamps and practising drawing that?

Stacking both of his swords on his back to add mass and his new texture colored skin sure makes him pop out a hell lot more than he used to. great job, man

You'd figure he'd pull those out eventually, unless he's BAMF that way and doesn't even feel them.
