To me it looks overly airbrushed and soft. The entire canvas edge is blurry and his chest ball thing is as well. I'd say you need to bring in some hard edges and choose specifically and with good reason where you're going to have some edges disappear into softness. Do you want his face to be the focus or the chest ball, because at the moment they are both competing for attention.
The light source is a little indistinct, perhaps picking a more definite direction would help you render those forms out. The arms for example are just silhouette and almost don't seem to interact with the light at all. The gold bits on his face could show the material more with some highlights and maybe some scratches and wear and tear for interest. Everything is pretty clean.
I really dig the design btw. Just tighten up in bits, choose your focus and detail and be less airbrushy :) Hope that helps
