all of your work is amazing
I like everything here on this piece. It is engaging, the texture gives the feel of outdoors and the roughness of the period. Jon too is one of my favorites. I think your name is in the proper place, it is part of the painting. Jon's skin color is perfect, composition wise, you move to him first then to the wolf. That is the way it should be. There is only one little tiny place I would correct and that would be the wolfs eye. I would do some ink shadow scratches on the upper iris so the eyeball itself would recede into his eye socket. That is being picky but it is all about making ourselves better artists. Great job.

As for some CC:
I love the composition of this piece particularly; firstly, you've used one of my favourite reference pictures for Jon, but the placement of Ghost is great. I personally don't usually like the effect of "floating heads" but this works fantastically.
The colour scheme works very well, and like someone else said, I can feel the cold just by looking at it. I think it's personal preference, but I disagree with xjm's comments on the colours being warmer. I think the colours you've used for Jon's face and Ghost's fur really helps to capture and enhance the bitter cold and strenuous job of guarding the Wall and being part of the Night's Watch. I think losing the human touch is perfect; as I would imagine it to actually be. The only thing I will say about the colours is that Ghost's eyes should be blood red, and I think the shading on the ears is a little too dark as it looks like the fur is black, and Ghost is completely white.
Your unique style of combining the rough, scratchy pen marks with reasonably flat colours and the paint splatters has always appealed to me, but I think it works extremely well in this piece. However, I do think that it may be a little overused on the face, as I find it a little distracting, but not enough that it bothers me.
I haven't really given you much criticism, but it's hard to fault this piece. Easily one of the best you've done in my opinion and I cannot wait to own a copy!
