Omg... I spend like, 3 days on this and it's only a headshot. Of course, I spent 2 days on different background styles until I gave up. I REALLY need more background practice, so I'll be looking for critique on the background. Until then, enjoy the Fawnlings touching noses!

Hello it's a lovely picture but as you said the background needs work. One of the hardest things for illustrators and painters is the use of green. A lot of green in foliage and nature isn't green that leans on the blue side - unless its in the far background being influenced by the sky in the atmosphere, but it's really more of a desaturated yellow. If you use stronger deep saturated reds it will look more green.

James Gurney has some great tutorials on painting foliage as well, even though this is more for traditional painting it has great examples and things to think about.
