the eyes are coming through to heavily from behind the hair. it makes it look like they are not sitting behind the hair but in front of it. i dont know if it is a design choice or what but the teeth do not look like they are sitting behind any sort of lip. they could use some sort of shadow along the top. i do not see any discernible light source, making the hair cast some sort of shadow on the body can help ad depth.
overall color scheme could be improved by using a darker color palette. it looks like a more demon type character, the light grey background and lack of shadows make it seem less demon'e / threatening. proportions seem ok for the design of the character, though if you finish out the body, from what it shown the arms look like they are very thin, you are also dangerously close to giving your character a brock lesnar neck.
the smoke coming from the right side of the mouth sitting on top of the hair is a little unnerving. your smoke design is very concentrated to a linear line. smoke has a tendency in small quantity to disperse in a non linear fashion.

Okay the good:
The hair is pretty neat, cause it's goin' all over the place.
The face is proportionately done well, as well as his shoulders and such.

The things you could improve on:
Okay so you've got some darks here and there, but the overall image is pretty light. What you could do is use some darker darks in areas like the area underneath his eyebrows and inside of his ears. Also by his neck sort of to give it a little depth, that way it'll look a lot more drastic. As the person before me stated, the eyes do look like they're above the hair, and I think it's the way you did it. To me it looks like you did the hair first, then colored the eyes over the hair with a softer brush. So to remedy that, what I would suggest is trying to paint strands over the eyes, and to give it the effect I think you're aiming for, leave little gaps between the strands so the green sticks out.

If you like I could paint over it a bit to show you examples of what I mean?
