OK, first off, everything about this is beautiful, the concept, the character, the background, for me bg's are difficult, you've nailed this perfectly though
The flowers and petals are magnificent, I love the subtle violet hints you've given the shadows, it makes it look very dynamic and powerful, almost dangerous in a way.
The contrast of the purple clouds and orange gradient is brilliant aswell
And I simply adore the hair, everything is so detailed and in-depth, you haven't just used 3 shades (normal, shading, highlights) you've gone all out and done about 20 different highlight colors alone, and a ton of shading colors too, all in the right sort of color range, so it looks like their hair is natural, not streaky or anything. An the way you drew it aswell, and of course the hairstyle itself is wonderful
Onto the body, the trunk anatomy (the chest, stomach area) is almost spot on aswell, out of curiosity, why don't you draw the belly button?
The muscles are brilliant too, the color blending and highlights look really natural, the shoulder and arm looks a bit iffy, kind of undefined, like it's missing a bit of shape, and the thumb you can see looks kinda lazy (we all do it
The fabric looks lovely too, I would only suggest maybe some harsh shading on the side facing away from the light, so it finishes that realistic touch.
How many layers do you use? If you want to do that hair highlight you've done, you can set a separate above layer to the brush funtion you would usually have it on (hard light, dissolve, normal, multiply etc) that way you can do the highlight, and use a fine eraser to get rid of any highlight that goes over the lines and onto the backdrop :3
And(FINALLY) onto the face xD
The expression is very cheeky, and it's not empty like some manga style art, the character genuinely looks like he has emotion, but the nose seems slightly short in comparison to how large the eyes are, and you probably already noticed, but the left eye looks a little wonky in comparison to the right one, and the mouth is a little high and wide.
My tips on that would be, if you want a wide smile and you draw the bottom lip, don't draw the bottom lip as long as you do the mouth, coz it gives the illusion of a huuuge mouth xD
And if you were to lengthen the nose slightly and raise the eyes just a bit, I think that would really complete your style, coz it's obvious it's a beautiful one, you've almost perfected it
Oh my god.
Please don't hurt me for long comments xD

all i can say now is Oh my god thats the longest comment i have seen here in my life! Oo
you are right about the things you said and about the nipples and such, i tend not to draw them i dunno why actually xD and i know the hand looks a bit freaky (i suck at hands lol )
about the face yeah. I know one eye is a bit smaller than the other one (if that's what you meant?) but i did that on purpose 'cause i wanted him to have a...should i say sneaky look? but not an evil one xD but you have a point about the mouth and so

IT GETS LONGER!!!! xD
Meh, I used to not draw them, usually people see them as dirty or like you're drawing smut but...not true, lol
Whether people like it or not, guys naturally have nipples xD
I do know what face you were trying (and succeeded) to do, I just meant it goes a little wonky in a way the eye usually wouldn't (like up a bit and then a bit wriggly) if you get it
(I did the lip thing once too) In my opinion it kind of makes people look like gorilla's xD Most japanese published "yaoi artists" use a style where the guys lips are so freaking huge, pink, shiny and ugly, it drives me up the wall Dx
But yah, you probably already know that drawing everything you see on a humans face makes your pic look wierd and suck, that's why shading is there to fill in the gaps (thank god lol)
Now go off to the land of your art and produce sum moarrrr
Glad to be of help xD

Ignore the people who tell you it is, they be made of butt-cheese
LOL, I had NO idea where that came from
3 Layers? Lineart, color...what else? xD Oh I know, BG?
But yah, you could do precision highlights and shit by doing it on a separate layer
You're welcome again
