Either you tried very hard on this and you arent very good at texturing, you are just starting, or you took 5 minutes to do it.
I think that it is a good idea for a head but you did not map it very well and it has random jutting spikes sticking out of it which should be explained to give people the ideas about what you are trying to do.
One of the things i really dont like about this is that it is mirrored 4 times. You mirrored it horizontally and then mirrored it vertically too. That really just makes it seem lazy because it all looks the same.
Try to vary some of the lengths of the spikes and/or take some out completely. The eyes are somewhat pixelated but you have the idea. Try to use gaussian blur and drop shadows if you are using GIMP. If you are using paint then i can understand why this is not the greatest head but it doesnt seem like that to me. I like the white mist around the eyes.
You dont have any shading which makes it seem like it is either in a pitch black room kind of or in a room with lights everywhere.... Which are both very unlikely. The lack of shading doesnt give you a point of light which adds to the affect greatly. Also the colors look good.
Maybe try to do it in layers next time and use drop shadow and gaussian blur on a lot of things to make it seem less pixelated and not just do whatever you did and make it pixelated.
If this was your first head it was a good attempt but try to do stuff better next time.

thank you for your opinion but also it is only 128x128 and it is a work in progress
so i need some ideas and yes this is my first head
and try no to be to harsh i am a begginer .

Make a spinny version so you can see how it looks on the head, i do that at many points while i'm creating a texture. It helps to be able to see it rather than having to visualize the final product
