Here is the latest version of my hunny-bunny , waiting for comments

Aww, Hunny-senpai is so cute. However, I think he can be sharpened up a bit. Also, I'm not dgging the background too much. The cherry blossoms are too pink for my taste and clashes with the dark red of the strips. I think the wall would look altogether better without the strips to begin with.

Perhaps you should stick with a scenery background and just add more cherry blossom trees? If you don't like that idea, at least try to give the background some more texture so that it looks like a shoji screen or something. Right now, I'm not sure what the background is supposed to be. Anyway, this wall has lots of potential so just play around with ideas. Good luck ^^

Hey Gloo! FYI! The stripes mean this is a shoji or folding screen. It's common device used to sub-divide a room in Korea and Japan. Shoji's are usually made with a wood framework with a paper or silk screening material which some artist paints, usually depicting some scenery like gods, wars, cherry blossoms, historical paintings, etc.

Background:
Relative to your foreground character, it's looks too flat. The wood grain in the vertical "stripes" should be vertical as well, not horizontal as you show it. Also, the vertical stripes should have lines down the middle to indicate the seam that would be there in a real screen. The wood should look like its rounded a bit so add a shadow/gradient affect. Remember to orient the shadow as indicated by Hunny Bunny's shadows.

If the screen material is silk, then you should be able to see very thin faint horizontal lines in a random pattern. the lines are going to be highlights and shadows from the light source grazing the silk screen material. I can ALMOST see the screen texture but maybe you should punch it up if I think it is what it is.

I agree in a way with Gloo about the background colors. However, I'm going to say that the background feels very saturated relative to Hunny Bunny's color scheme as opposed them being too pink.

Foreground:
It's all a bit too blurry. The pedal, flowers and HB should be in sharp focus. If your compensating for something, I recommend creating a layer of just the black (especially the lettering) that's in sharp focus and place that on top. You'll have to mess with the feathering in PS to get it to blend just a tinsi bit.

By the way, if you really want a traditional looking nature silk screen, your gonna have to add two birds sitting on the branch.

All in all, I like it. Keep at it.

I agree with the last comments, specially with the short last one, hehehehe
i love hunny-sempai, but he doesn't fit with the background, the cherry blossomss are tooo pink, you need to improve the stripes and add some shodows or something, they look flat.
I like your idea, but there's still some work to do, good luck
