Do you think that would help the scene look less cluttered as Cow said? I think it might work. I'm also open to suggestions on how to make the grassy hills in the background more...grassy.

I have a suggestion for the eye-
I made this before you killed a color, but same idea.
About the texturing, you've pretty much shaded everything the same way; with bloches and dithering. Maybe if you gave the hills a more soft texture, and make the bird have feathers (At least, I'm assuming that he has feathers in the first place) it'll be better.

It's more fur than feathers, as according to the artist who drew him. The only feathers are around the mouth and on the wings, for some reason.
A softer hill texture? I'll try it. Examples would help, though.

Cow made a nice edit, trying to do stuff the way he showed me.
Any better?

A small update. Mostly work done on the clouds and the bird.

Saw this on facebook graffiti, reminded me of this if it were shaven and had goblin ears.
Still got some cleaning up on the clouds near the neck but I'd say they're looking pretty good.
You've also got some grey on the outline of his eye.
Wondering if you're going to apply that to the feathers, or if it's just a stray pixel
Really liking this though.

i like the composition on the earlier version better. It looks like he's gonna reach over and kiss the frame. In the new one it it more centered. Maybe you could also try moving him to the right and have him like looking across the landscape.

...why would he be trying to kiss the frame? o.O
I could move him a bit, though, maybe I'll try it!
Also, Souly, thanks. I'll be sure to work on those few things you pointed out.

Badassbill is giving me some pointers on how to do the grass. Any tips?

The teeth are what's bothering me with this. They're flat, uniform, and the bottom row is verging on being pillow shaded. Gaps, irregularities and the like would add more interest to it.
Suggestion:
Otherwise, this is coming along very nicely. The texture of the feathers especially.
