Right ear is not in the correct perspective from the looks of it - it should taper off much further down (unless they both continue higher, but even then the left ear would have to be much longer for it to be in perspective). Also his nostrils are basically non- existent and his septum is so wide that it has reduced his nostrils to slits.
What I like - linework is generally pretty good and I see you're challenging yourself with the angle. Think it will look good if you fix these problems.

The perspective is more correct here.

I didn't like the colours at all so I changed them - None of the colours complemented each other. The red robe clashed with the hot pink skin and the purple/blue trim of the robe. not to mention all the colours are really saturated and this made this dissonance really pronounced unfortunately.

Next, the values - if you look at the sleeves of her robe you'll see there's almost no difference in value between the pink and red - this makes it really flat and is one of the most glaring problems with the piece. This is really a problem with the whole piece - the lack of value makes it look flat. In order to fix this in the future - play around with the the value curves in whatever program you use (it's all I did to fix this - essentially just making the curve "steeper"). Once the midtones were fixed, it meant I could bump up areas of highlight like the lights on the head and metal on the neck-brace and a few other areas.

Finally, I fixed the face - lots of symbol drawing and flat features again.

Apart from all that the rendering is clean (if only a little too airbrushed) and texture is done well for the most part. I actually REALLY like the background - the whole thing gives me cenobite vibes if that's what you were going for? Also the hand are look very accurate which is good.
