Hiawatha - Greetings

You used watercolors for the background, didn't you? It's well well done and all but it doesn't stand out much seems a little out of place with your character having darken colors and outlined than the background.
I Love the detail, in the background along with the use of space, but your character has flat color, the shades and light aren't mixed like in your background, I think this is another reason it looks so off.
The character is well drawn, has a sweet calm expression and the his stance doesn't look tense at all! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> Along with the background as I mentioned before just not so much together
