Description
"These ancient eyes of mine see many things that mortals cannot. Magic runs through my veins. You cannot hide your true nature from me." - King Elothiir IIAnd this is me trying to make a background It's rushed and doesn't match the style of the drawing, but I'm posting it anyways

Well, the king himself is wonderfully done. The nose, the expression, the colors. It all comes together very nicely. But its style is a comic-shaded (or stylized) one, while the background is a more realistic atmospheric light rays. The light seem not to affect the figure, which makes it look like the figure is "copy-pasted" into the background.
I think adding some light on his left side (left for the viewer) and shades on his right side would make him more realistic. It's light you're painting (very good light btw), so adding it to the figure will make them blend much more.

Thank you very much for your construct criticism, I really appreciate it. And I understand why it looks like just "copy-pasted" onto the background, because it is The thing is, I was very tired and it was very late so I just rushed the background just so this drawing would have one and this is what I came up with I do agree that it looks out of place, If I would've spent more time on background it would've looked better. Anyways, I'm really happy that you like the character

Ok. I don't know if I should believe the smilies in your post, because then it would be more like "I know I'm doing things wrong and I don't care, mwahaha" message. In a very immature way. But I hope you didn't mean it like that.
All I can say, I hope you can improve your backgrounds and put in more effort to combine the foreground and background.

Thanks It was more like "I wasn't planning to do the background at first, but once I finished the drawing, I decided to do one and since I was very sleepy and wanted to upload the image before going to bed, I rushed it". Pardon me, if my reply seems immature because of smiles, I intended it to be more playful than immature.

Don't worry, I just tend to read into smilies to easily, and that can lead to unintended interpretations. I would say if you're not happy with it, just try again.

I'll leave it be as it is for now. I may however, come back to this drawing a few years later and redraw it completely.

Own right. It's always more fun to make new drawings than fixing old ones.
