[lurch]

Jyonny, I think the problem is the contrast on the tree, even though you've tried to knock it back a bit with the hatching, I think the high contrast is drawing your eye away from the lower contrast in the character.

Only thing I could think to do is really knock it back by putting it much more in the dark and having light hit it just a bit.

I tried to do a paintover but I'm not sure it worked! Maybe it'll help tho.

I think if you work the fur in with short black strokes maybe that will pull the contrast and attention back to the character?

edit - having looked at it again, I wonder it's partly because the character seems to be looking at the tree?
