On the plus side, the vast majority of the picture is really good. I like the hair, and I'm really impressed by the way you've defined his clothes in just a couple of lines. I also think little Ilwion on his shoulder is absolutely adorable.

But... well, for one, that ear terrifies the life out of me. I'm not sure why - I think it looks a bit too 'spidery' for me. It's scary, either way.

And his face... again, I don't know why it bothers me. There's nothing I can point to and say 'that, right there, is totally wrong'. Just the whole overall effect... I don't know. I think it might be that the mouth looks like it's a 3/4 shot, while the nose and eye say it's a profile. Playing around a bit in Paintshop, I think you might also have his eye a little high up, or a little large, or possibly both.

But like I say, that's really impressive! And the simple detailling on the clothes has me entirely stunned.
