One might say I've been properly inspired

This looks awesome. XD I could just see it in a gilded frame in some fancy great hall.

Thank you!
And yeah, I'd draw the frame if I had the patience hehe
Have you seen "The Grand Budapest Hotel"?

I haven't yet! I'm rather terrible at keeping up with movies. I've been curious to check that one out at some point, though.

Duuude! 
Honestly, the biggest issue is that the face is a little asymmetrical. It's something I've kinda noticed as an ongoing thing with your art. I have to say I struggle with this as well. If you take a bit of a look at the silhouette of the left side of his face (our right), he has a very pronounced cheekbone which is rather high up. The opposite side of his face looks rather flat by comparison. Similarly, the bridge of his snout curves outward near his right eye, but is very flat next to his left eye. Something I'd recommend to try and address this problem would be to do a few geometric head studies while sketching. That is, start with a sphere (or circle) and construct the protruding parts of the head with basic shapes. This tends to test your ability to visualize 3 dimensional objects since you have to understand how to make things look like they are symmetrical from different angles.
In terms of color, you did excellently! The texture is just right, and the highlighting is very well done. Though, I do think the neck fur is perhaps a little too detailed. I don't think it's necessary to have quite so intense shadows and highlights there. The length of the fur is fine, but the shadows beneath the tufts in the center draw a little too much attention away from the face. If those were to be made a little lighter, perhaps only a little darker than the surrounding fur, it might look a bit better.
I do think this is an overall good piece, though! Nice work!

Brrooooooo 
And you're right, I know its asymmetrical, but when I found out I was too deep into the drawing process :\ I usually make a proper face construction but it doesnt seem to work so well, when it comes to looking good on the mirrored side..Β
I actually really enjoyed coloring it, and its also something I'd never accomplish, cause I'm so not used to this kind of painting style O.OΒ
And you may be right about the neck but I'll tell you another thing, I think the coloring style of the face is TOO different from the clothes.. I dont know how to explain it but I see it.. Theres still a long way for me I guess
Thank you so much for the constructive comment

Really? You think the face and clothes don't match up? Of the things I thought you could perhaps improve on, that wasn't one of them. Actually, one of the things I thought was so good about this drawing was that it looked pretty uniform/consistent. Maybe it's just that since the face is furry, it has a different apparent texture. Even so, I think it looks quite good the way it is in terms of coloring.
In any case, good for you for aiming high!

I know that feeling, it took me some time to get outta the box and try new things too.
Personally I just watched a coloring tutorial on Youtube and tried it out, and it was then when I discovered i'm not so terrible with colors like I thought

Well, keep at it! You're very good at it. With more practice, I'm sure you'll be even better.

I always listen to music in accordance to what I'm drawing.
