Hello there!
I'm from and I am here to give you some constructive critique on your artwork!
As usual, I'll start with my overall impression.
It is a fairly well done artwork, the close up of your character's face and the expression he makes are wonderfully conveying the tension or pressure he's in. Though becaus eof the lack of eyes, this expression is here to stay. There sisn't really any room for interpretation, that would have been established by some additional expression through the eyes. But I must say, I like it the way you kept it and I absolutely love the style you drew his face in. The blocky teeth, pointy chin, the arch in the bridge of the nose and of course the razor-sharp nose, awesome! Though I would have added some wrinkles and dynamic to his nostril. It could have been more tilted to really see that the upper lip is moving.
I also took the freedom to read through your character's bio and must say, the concept of someone cloning himself with the genetic modification of an axolotl to prevent his cancer to grow is a really great idea and I haven't seen that before! Also the struggle he is in makes room for an interesting character development.
But frankly, without reading his bio that you linked in a comment below, I wouldn't know what the title meant and what is there hanging out of his hair. Perhaps tilting his upper cut gill more in the direction the others went, wouldn't make it look like a button sticking in his hair. So for your future artworks of him, I suggest you at least tag axolotl or give the information in your description. Because those gills could be anything, A weird looking ear, a cigar (yes that's what I thought at first) or even this pipey organ that octopuses have.
So, there isn't really much to criticize now... I could say that the beard stubble could stick out of your outlines more... but that's nitpicking.
I believe the only way to improve now is to add more detail and complexion to the beard and hair.
But seriously, the lighting is good, the colours balanced, even the shadows are nice, I love your art style with the face... You're doing great!
I hope you found that helpful, have a nice day!

i have a biosheet for him here:
The biosheet of Vlad Altmann Introduction:
Vlad is a 65-year-old elderly man trapped inside a 25 year old looking human axolotl hybrid clone body he made for himself, to escape from his liver cancer. He was going to die from cancer and he didn't want to die. So he made a clone of himself that was 40 something years younger than he was, with axolotl genes spliced in so he could not only live for several more years, but he could also be the first human being to regenerate limbs and not get cancer again, because axolotls don't get cancer because they can regenerate cells. He fully regretted this decision because of the horrific side effects. He has axolotl gills sticking out from the sides of his head, a long axolotl tail, strange looking feet, purple hair, and purple dots on his face and body. The only thing that remained unaffected was his irises, however, the whites of his eyes have a yellowish tint to them. Vlad isn't sure why that is.
