Your insides win and kill you from within

Hi, I'm going to critique this mainly from the skin point of view.

First of all, I want to say that I enjoy the blending of the other elements, the composition and the colors. So here are a few ideas about the skin :
It's not required for it to be a perfect retouching of the skin, as it's not a glamour type, but the blurred areas bother me. The rest of the elements are nicely blended and look ok, so the smudges on the skin stand out even more. I would have liked it to the more clean and with the pores more visible.
Also, a smoother transition of light/shadow would have worked better, especially around the mouth and neck.

The blood looks too flat. I think it needs that shinny highlights to make it look more liquid.

Other than that, keep up the good work !
