Hard to see the monster, yup--my suggestion: next time use softer pen strokes for the background, very light cross-hatching.
Otherwise, it looks pretty cool

I don't necessarily see the need for a dichotomy of expression. My goal of the piece was a more manic, nightmarish feel that I attempted to accomplish through manic, hard lines in the background and foreground. In a sense, what I was going for was the impression that the creature and his stormy perch are the same element.

I'm not a emotional, expressive artist, see. I'm all about technique and conceptional stuff. :B

Well, the problem is that it's hard to distinguish the foreground from the background. I can make out the monster from the talons and the teeth, but its body is being undermined by all the noise in the background. I suggest you lighten up the background in Photoshop by outlining the monster, press CTRL+I for invert, CTRL+J for new layer, and increase the brightness in Image/Adjustments by about 25%.

Excellent suggestion, although that seems to be more of a design approach to what should be a more organic composition. I could photoshop this guy into candyland and have him shake hands with its sugar-coated ambassadors, but that would be neither organic nor nightmarish.

It's not so much Photoshopping it into candyland as to readjust the illustration so that it's generally a lot easier to view the object without changing the organic aspect of it. If you want to sugar-coat an image, let's say, you'd adjust the photo so much so that it would be completely more distinguished than the original.
