I love that landscape! It's better than anything I ever drew...
Also, don't listen to that Jonerick guy. He's/ She's just Phizzy in a badly disguised costume. The only reason I can't critisize it is that I know if I compared my drawings to your's, I would have to say my drawings could just go to waste! Although I was proud of a few...
I think it looks much better as a complete composition, the mixture of art styles and colour is a little contrasting I think. And to just echo what others said about the shading, it's a little too smooth I think.
It kind of looks like she was cut out of a piece of paper and just glued over the top of the landscape. Not saying that this is a bad thing, because it really draws the attention to 'main' part of the picture, and the background is just some artistic icing on the graphical cake.
Lots of old cartoons (and new ones in fact) use a method like this, where the background is just quickly painted or whatever and doesn't match the artistic style of the character. Take Spongebob for example, his colours are very bold and edges quite sharp and defined, but the underwater scenery like the sand and blue background is very smooth and slightly more realistic than himself.
The shadow under her feet helps her blend into the background a bit more, however her right foot doesn't quite seem to 'sit on the ground', almost as if she's standing on her toes. Maybe you could have a few blades of grass going over top of her foot so she seems more "there" if you know what I mean .
The leopard splotches were a really good idea, I think they frame the picture well and honestly it wouldn't be nearly as effective without them.
Wow, that's nice. The character sticks out a lot from the background, but it's ok. Reminds me of those old 90s adventure games where you know who the characters are and what items to pick up because they stick out from the background.

Nice art! LOL at the lion. I read the whole topic, got to the part where you mentioned that the lion was botched, and thought: "Wait, there was a lion in the picture?" Overall great job. I actually don't like the second one as much as the first, but that's just my personal opinion.

If you were going for that appearance, you nailed it!
