1.5-2.5 years?

Made some minor fixes to your image. I don't know what you were going for with the BG but even if you like the rainbow theme, you should still have used some hard strokes back there. Same goes for the character. Look at stuff from people like Phil Hale for example.

I don't have time/skill to do this shit with proper brush economy really fast but I hope you get my point. I also think it'd be a good idea to widen the image a little more. Yours is split 50-50 and the guys head is also split 50-50 so the whole thing looks kind of stiff. I didn't really go into the anatomy of the guys face or anything but you might want to look at some images of beards and shit. The green-ish tinted background was just the color I happened to have selected when I started the over painting. You could go with a deep red or what ever. Try to make the shadows on the dude match the BG color and only use the soft brush when you want to fade something into the BG. Hope I helped.
