This must be a common question, but does the character sprite (pixel art) look alright on a background with more of a painted look? Perhaps it's all a matter of opinion, but I get the sense from posts I've seen that some people really dislike a mismatch, or at least dislike it when sprites look especially like sprites rather than a part of the world. I don't know that I mind it so much, but am interested in thoughts. I'm aware there's no shadow beneath my guy, so that's probably one thing I could add (will have to search for how to do this).
Also up for tips and stuff. This background's unfinished, but not too far off, and I've noticed there are some rockstar artists around here, so any pointers are appreciated. The background was my first time using a tablet (my housemate's a design student and let me borrow hers), so I'm all for hearing ways to improve.

Sorry, here is the background and sprite in original res.
