I actually plan on redoing the background, or at least removing it for a bit so I can rework the portrait itself and add it on later. I should've saved the background without the portrait, but oh well. It's not hard to make a new one. When I started making this I didn't exactly think of what feel I wanted to go for. Since I'm going to rework a majority of the shading and such I might as well restart from the face like Jad said I should. I might be able to save some of the face though, I dunno. The dithering being so off is because I'm new to it, although that isn't much of an excuse considering I know it's bad from looking at it myself. I should spend more time messing with it before I post it here.
I've never really thought about the kind of feeling my work gives, I just think something and sprite it. I wouldn't know what to do to change the feeling it's giving. A couple ideas that come to mind would be adding more shine to the eyes to give him that accomplished look, as well as adding a smile or something. And changing the palette to be lighter, as well as having a different, lighter background.
Also thanks for the edit, It should be of some help when reworking it.
