*Critique Desired*
This is basically the evil, malicious half of my fursona (kudos to those who figured out where the name came from). The incarnated dark side of everyone, but all the anger and fury is amplified to dangerous degree. He has no compassion, no mercy, and will kill anything he desires (and it's random). He is also very, very nihilistic.
I was inspired to do this after being fascinated with Azure Kite from the .hack//G.U. series; the only difference is that instead of being stitched together, GNILEBIS looks like he is burning through.
I really love this piece, but I do feel there is room for improvement.

I feel almost as though this piece is a journal entry or something equally personal.
The burning effect is quite nice, with the smoke and all, and the detail on the wrinkles in the leather is nice too.
I feel like the head should be placed lower against the body considering its angle, and the hair is a bit busy. There's a technique called 'implied texture', I'm not sure if people know about it or not. IT says that if you need to texture something, don't do every little detail. Just do some parts, and people will get the idea. A prime example is a brick wall. You just make the wall the appropriate color, establish a brick texture/pattern in key points, and leave the rest. Everybody will immediately recognize it as a Brick wall. You can apply this same technique to hair. If you outline the shape of the general hair mass, add some hair texture to key areas, and leave the rest, the viewers' minds will fill in the blanks. It'll save you some pencil milage and make the image seem cleaner too.
For the purposes of this image, I'd like to have seen some more attention paid to the text. In comparison it seems flat and added as an afterthought.
And finally, the name is a bit obvious and a little cliche. If you really want to go with it I'd suggest spelling it phonetically how you want it to sound.
