Good style, personally reminded me more of ensellitis's work than ptoing's, but I do see the resemblance. There really isn't a large enough jump between the colors used for shading to justify using so many, as Adam pointed out. Same goes for eyes and teeth. You could easily make this using no more than 8 colors and lose hardly any detail.
