First of all I like to say that I love what you've done so far with this picture. This reminds me of Tomic's style. Keep up the good work!

I think you should desaturate some of the green shades (just a little) just like Ptoing did in his edit. I think you should keep the blue though. Maybe you can add a buffer shade to make the transition between the green and the blue shades more smooth. I also think that the hat should cast a shadow on the forhead of that guy. Right now it doesn't exactly look like his wearing it.
Nobody is perfect. I'm nobody.

it's funny... I see this and I think Ptoing in terms of quirkyness and Helm in terms of pallette... Looks like you're beginning a movement all of your own guys...

I love it this piece... it's quirky and brave of thumb... by that I mean it's not tight... it has fluidity that one doesn't often see in pixels... (apart from on these boards that is)

Personally I prefer the more subdued look.. the vividness of the intial pallette shows a little less deliberation over homongonizing the colors together so they work together better... but then that's just a taste thing...

...keep on pushing!

This is awesome!  I just love the colors and the painted texture!  Definitely a favorite of mine.

ptoing: Thanks a lot for the edit, I'll try to mess around with the palette a bit next. I also like the cracks/wrinkles you added.

Robotriot: I am probably going to redo the dwarf completely.

Thanks for the comments everyone else too.

That tree is beautiful.  :P Looks almost crystal-like. Can't say i'm too keen on the little guy being there though.

I was thinking about removing the gnome and adding lots of little ones all around the picture experimenting or something with the tree, better idea?

i like the gnome/monkey thing - it adds character.  BTW love how this is turning out!
