I can tell what you were going for with the piece and that shows well, however their is a great deal that could be improved going forward.

The proportions seem very 'off' in a way that is hard to describe. The relative legs of the arms and thinness of them compared to the rest of the body itself seems off putting. Which is fine if your attempt was for creating an 'otherworldly' nearly Lovecraftian character, but currently all it does is convey something like a praying mantis or other 'stick like' insect. The actual color work is good, and I like how you went about your shading, but your actual fundamentals seem a bit lacking.

Next, the pose itself is rather awkward, with the legs. The way they seem to be situated looks like they ought to be very unbalanced and liable to cause them to fall down.

My major recommendation would be to get a program like ZBrush or Modo (or another 3d modeling software) and learn how to use them - that is something of a 'cheat sheet' as it helps you figure out proportions relative to the pose and the camera angle, and lets you iterate many versions of a single character before you actually commit pen to paper. Makes making changes a lot more easily, and make subtle tweaks that can improve a piece immensely.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
