Welcome back Doolio, I hope you are feeling better!
I agree with darktiste here, your lines are a bit scribbly/chicken scratchy, if you want that sketchy feel I think still that the lines must be smoother/longer and drawn with confident. Try making an underdrawing, then drawing cleaner lines on a layer above, also think about lineweight, which will make it more interesting too look at.
Tough it seems you have a good understanding of anatomy some parts lacks form, especially the faces. Even if you are going for manga-style it is important to practice real heads to get a good fundamental understanding of its form and anatomy. I have seen this a bunch of times with manga artists, and it always make them better.
I belive that if you'll practice linework (including lineweight), form (boxes, cylinder etc.) and realistic headshapes it will make your art jump up a notch :-)
