does anybody have any recommendations to this?

[daring quest]

i feel like this is missing something (besides shading) but i do not know what it is, maybe you guys could help?

[simple dagger]

I think your drawing is quite detailed in the upper body but doesnt have much detail in the lower half? If this is a preexisting character, adding things like highlights, texture differences, or variation in the sillouhete outline can help. If this is your own character, I think adding some accesories can help make them feel more balanced
