I like the smoothness of the lines, but I kind of don't like the similarity with Jeorph's style.  If I flick your eyes between your image & your Marten avatar I can see a few similarities in style.

I am not an artist, but one of the things I see artists talking about in drawing forums is developing a distinct style of your own that you feel comfortable with.  If this is your style at the moment then that's great, I am sure that as you develop your skills it will naturally diverge away from being similar to Jeph's.  But if you're consciously trying to draw like Jeph then maybe that's not so advisable.

It was only after I had finished it that I noticed how similar it looked.
Believe me it wasn't my intention to copy him, I like this drawing though and anything else I put here I'll do my best not to make it look like Jeph's work.

If you want I could take it down?

very true. I don't think there's any problem with imitating someone else's style as you learn to draw, if someone has no idea how to draw looking at someone who does know is a great way to get started. you pick up techniques from other artists until you can develop your own style.
