Well I do apologise. You've requested a critique and I don't have much insight to share however I had the choice to either type in comments with my observations or write in the critiques so I shall just use the somewhat more appropriate area.

Alright, so I loved your use of fading colours/gradients in the hair. Absolutely lovely touch and the position of the hair does a great job of framing the face. Now, I have more good things to say but I'll mention my relatively negative comments before I forget them.

Shape, form, whatever you wish to call it; For me, while I realise this was a demonic creature, there is a significant human influence and I felt the face came out as too short while the chin remained overly strong and the neck too long. My recommendations for improving on this would be to call upon the general rules for facial proportions. A quick search online will give you access to most of that information. The smoke trailing from the lips, which look brilliant by the way, doesn't fill the bottom part of the piece quite enough to warrant the large amount of darkness. The horns around the edges end up slightly blurry and in contrast to the distinct hair lines suffer for it.

A very visually-pleasing piece though I could not guess at what inspired you. Anyway, all of this is just opinion.

Not too sure how to rate this, Vision and Originality are rather similar though the word "Vision" seems rather vague. Perhaps it's their way of asking "does it look good?" without being so blunt.
