In general, fantastic, as others have said. Your linework and control are amazing.
However...
The owl thing over his bad eye? I can't tell if that's meant to be a patch, or a tattoo on the inside of the socket, or something else. The perspective is wrong, for either of those cases. It looks like an afterthought - an addition you made after the picture was finished, and weren't able to fully model. The detailing on it is beautiful, but it breaks the 'genuine' aura of the rest of the pic.
Nitpick: Your smoke and smoke rings need work. Even if you're going for stylized, they look artificial. Light a candle, and try drawing the smoke using charcoal. If you need more smoke, blow it out and record a video, then study it frame by frame.
Further nitpick: the blur you used on the top right of the top-knot doesn't work for me. It is non-harmonious with the rest of the hair, and reminds me that the art went through Photoshop. Sharpening or re-drawing that area, taking care with the boundaries, would help the image.
(You DID ask for it!)

Man, I love him. Or at least the stare he's giving us. Just the pipe shows how much class this guy has!
And the description was just striking! 8D

Thanks. ^^
Well, he is a highlord by birthright, but I'm afraid his sense of style, which is no sense at all, negates some of this 'class'. The guy thinks that the more garish and gaudy something is, the better, and he clatters when he moves due to all the umpteen trinkets he never tires to carry. XD

I thought he looked familiar! But it wasn't until I looked at the "temptation" pic that I remembered..
No offense, but he is ASS-UGLY! Gah!!

some people do.. for a bit. Then it does a u-turn and suddenly you could be related to the tollund-man.

Oh yes he was XD I think they estimated him to be around his 30's or something?
But yeah, we get enough bishies in anime.

Yeah, that plus 2400 years of lounging around in a bog.
Damnit, now you got me all intrigued by the bog sacrifices of the early iron age. XD I need to find a book or something on these.

It's the age, although undoubtedly those stupid trinkets have sped it up. XD The phenomenon usually just affects the ears in this 'species', though, not other parts of the body.
