i draw this in my sketchbook and colored it with the gimp 2.0.
sorry im posting alot, it just that i have alot of time to draw now.
enjoy.
posting a lot is okay ... just maybe keep it in one thread. Make a TslilTamim's Art Thread type thing :)
I'm not much of a critic on this type of art, but I'd say it looks pretty good. A little washed out perhaps. Is that marijuana burning??
Glad to see this doesn't include any kind of violence :)
The picture looks good, imo. I like this kind of art.
P.S: Why don't you get a page from DeviantArt? You would find the change to exhibit your art to many people there.

As usual, I think the most critical area to improve is values. Using darks and especially brights is something commonly forgotten and yields flat and usually boring results.
Try beginning with a value sketch where you make sure to use brights (close to white, not just brighter middle grey) and darks and to build the objects as if you where constructing 3d objects.

Umm... flames don't go diagonal, unless there is wind of some kind, and then they would all go the same way... it looks quite odd with the flames as is.
