The lighting is fantastic. I love the effect it gives to bathe such a character in light, when the overall feeling and assumption we make is that he's evil... which I guess he is anyway. (reminds me of the Horned King character from the chronicles of prydian

Almost everything in the painting points downwards - the pattern of the wood on the back wall, the skull and bones in the top right, the sword of the guy on the throne, the dreadlocks of his guardsmen. To me this creates a feeling of power and stability
However, I think this also allows for a feeling of disorder and uneasiness in the way this pattern is broken. The spear on the left points upwards, there is an asymmetry in the numbers of guards on the left and right, on the fact that the bones hung on the wall is off-centre, even the fact that there is a slightly out-of-place animal skull in a pile of otherwise human ones this left-right asymmetry is centred about a very non-symmetrical ornate sword. This sword draws my attention to the guy on the throne where both the asymmetry and the vertical lines are broken by the antlers and horns on his helmet, the hangings on the walls behind his throne, and his lateral stance.
All this seems to create a tension between patterns which give the picture an unsettling and edgy atmosphere - one that fits with the unnatural soldiers.
Anyway, that's just my analysis of it - very well pulled off
