The title isn't too OTT to me- he was once innocent- a little too purist in fact.
Crit though? Althought the dirty look sort of suits the picture, you have lost out on details and textures with the way the colours are slapped on. Smooth areas like the face and clothing can be blurred, although some areas need to be sharp, but things like the hair need a bit of attention cause it's a glossy surface- it has sharper colour changes.
Also, The lighting is inconsistant- most of it is above him, but it's not enough to make a gloss where the light comes from- if something blocks the light, that needs to be a sharp shadow. Also the contrast between the shadows to light is too quick for what is shaded here. A high intensity shadow needs to be complimented by a high intensity light hitting it, where it nearly becomes a black and white picture. Alot of rules can be broken, but this can not. You need to toe most of your shadows down so that only the really dark areas are dark, and the other shadows are medium to compliment your light areas.
Uhhh- FYI for the next picture

THANK U! This was half assed 
,but the insite you've gave was a big help. I can see what youre getting at- the shadows are too sharp and its a strain to do detail with a mouse..god i wish i had a tablet..Anyway, i was going to leave this as a pencil scetch, but decide to color it in less then, what, 2hrs.Thus, the horid coloring
. I feel all mushy inside that you would take the time to crit this. I will surelly use your advice in my next piece! And Q: Whats ott?
I'm game if you ever need any more crit. I wont be kind about it, but I try not to be nasty either. Sometimes you just need to know how it stands
Oh, and i just left to frys and got a wacom tablet 6x8 graghire4...as a b-day presant
And it was very ironic that i got a tablet at your cammand!LOL!
I suggest oekakis. I joined an oekaki board when I got my tablet and it's the BEST practice
Sorry I can't be more helpfull than that ^^;
