I like the concept, but I agree with you about the fact that it's missing something. Here's some suggestions: You could make a burning red light flash out of his mouth and eyes. A bit like the lightrays coming out of Agent smith before he gets destroyed by NEO in The Matrix or those lightrays during the transformation of princess Fiona(sp?) in Shrek. But then Red. A less blocky (higher res) texture on the shirt would be better. I agree with Madmax about the contrast between the foreground and the background. And if you make the red burning eyes you should try if it looks better with the blue tears or without. Personally I think it'll look better with the tears.
