Looks pretty cool. I'm not a fan of the bushes, though. They bring down the quality of the image a bit, making it seem like the work of a child. While I know these things usually lack detail, there's a fine line between no detail, and just enough detail.
I'd have to say the image's strongest points are the tree and the bird, they are pretty good. Otherwise, it's alright.

I agree with you, the bushes were added in at the last minute so that the horizon wasn't so empty.
And I really don't like how the right side of it turned out; the clouds are a bit off and there is too much space.

Looks pretty good to me; I think the sky is fine. I don't really like the grass, though. Maybe take out the bushes and add a nice grassy texture? It could be both dark green and pale green so it doesn't feel empty.

Yes, I will be doing 6 different pieces and will be re-doing the bushes on this one.
This one is not the first in the set, either, it is just the first I though of to do.

Thank you.

Why is your thumbnail such an unnecessarily large file?

I ran into some problems and lost the .psd for this piece, so I will have to do the best that I can with the bushes now and hope it turns out decent.

Thank you.
The one above will stay as is; this is only a school storyboard project, so I'm not going for perfection.

This next piece will be the first in the chronological order of events.
I did all I'm going to do today, but there will be two more people visible in this shot: Doodle and Brother.

Empty Space and Slightly Bland.

I like the Person though...Hair Double So.

Yes, there will be some stuff on the table and counter, along with two more people. I also made the wall more orange and made the window slightly bigger.

Edit:

The boy is still incomplete.

Edit2:
How's the grass and sky looking on this one?

The table needs to be more obvious. I was wondering what the brown oval was doing for a little bit there.

The grass looks good.

Yes there are plates and stuff on the table, but I won't be uploading another one of that scene until I draw Doodle.
