I did not really expected to get this much attentions on this piece. If this is any indication of the number of people interested, I might just change it.

On that note, I will be busy till Monday with preparing for finals so any changes won't be that soon.

• Your outline strokes on the body seem a bit too thick and thus a bit cartoony
• His teeth could stand to be a little more pronounced and more menacing

Although they have very different poses, the Sky Drake portrait here is still worth looking to for basis:
