This looks good man! The only problem is it's not overly intimidating as you say. Right now he looks like he is kinda yawning or something. He's got his tongue hanging out, he's fairly relaxed, the only thing scary are the teeth.

I would try to emphasize the aggressive nature of it. Body language is important, get a snarl going where the upper lip is raised to show the gums, get the tongue held in the mouth, get the ear a bit flatter against the body, get some scrunching of the skin near the eye etc.

You can also get some more aggressive shape language in there. I played up the height of the shoulders so there is more of a taper down to the head, and then I added more of a mane and gave it all these pointy tufts of hair. Playing up the orange underlight from the flames too might help.

Paintover was done with a trackpad on a laptop so keep in mind it's rather crudely done.

Terrible advice.
