Sorry, it's big :l by clicking the picture you can see it larger (non-DA-page! :B ).
I don't know what to say in here, maybe I should say sorry to post new topic so quickly :l don't kill me, I beg.

The figure doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the picture. That might've been what you were going for but.. I think it kind of takes away from the overall image.

The buildings look great, but it looks like you just stuck this little semi-anime person in, and it's just so different from the rest of the picture that it doesn't look very good. Plus the anatomy is kind of off.

I think if you made the figure more realistic and chose some colours (thick black lines and green perhaps?) more similar to the rest of the picture, it'd improve it a lot.

Sorry to ask, but what makes it still anime? the hair or the whole body? I have been tried so hard to get my style more of...cartoon"realism", but maybe i'm just a loser one :/

Yeah, the spikey hair is the main thing that seems quite anime-ish. And the rest of the body is more cartoony.

Cartoon-ish realism can be a very cool style, but I think you need to get realism down before you can start applying your own style to it. Like, the proportions of the body are a bit unproportioned, but it doesn't seem like it's stylized... more like it's just an error in anatomy.

So I suggest working on your real-life human studies, and then adding some cartoonish elements to it afterwards. 3nodding

I love the buildings.

But the cartoon looking thing just takes away from the entire thing. The character looks messy and unskilled without much thought yet there is these magnificent structures just dying to have more focal attention paid to them.

I could imagine a more pop art character sitting in the foreground, if it was necessary to even have a person there.

I dont think the anime style would be a problem here if it was just executed better, with better anatomy and such things that come from using real references.

I think Page Boy is right, I think it would work if executed a little better. The shading in the hair really sticks out for me, and the lines need a little work too. Nice job though!

(As a side note, within 5 minutes of realizing I had been accepted, I posted.)
