This one looks better than the Linkara one, but I still have some suggestions. The hair's looking good, but the shirt and face are suffering from a lack of depth. If you want to retouch this one, I'd go back in and darken up parts of the shirt around the armpits and the collars to really separate it from the rest of the shirt. Some crosshatching on the shirt can also add to suggesting that it is made of fabric. Also, be sure to take another look at the face and render the eye sockets some more. The eyeballs and forehead looks fine, but the lower section of the eyes need some definition in order to make it seem like he has a skull underneath his skin. And watch out for those gradients in the background, everything else looks fine, but why ruin a good hand painted piece with something your computer can up with? Brush it up.

Phelous ponders "Does this suck?" a moment than with a deadpan expression he says, "Yes, yes it does."
Good work.

Background is amazing. You managed to get the details perfectly. Same goes for Phelous.
Overall one of the better TGWTG drawings I've seen.

He's either contemplating a really bad movie or he really wants a Jill Sandwich.
