As you can see, this thing needs a hell'a lot of CnC
I'm trying a new art style that may or may not catch on for me, anything that I need to add or take away from the picture, please tell me.

well, that ^
you're not trying at all to put even the slightest bit of effort into the detail, and that pretty much goes without saying.
I don't know where to begin with this.
There's no lighting, the colors are bland, half the pic is uncolored, is that tree a squid? etc, etc.
What you should try is practicing your drawing perspective and execution, make sure the pic comes out as much as it did in your head as possible.
Use your time, there are 24 hours in a day, focus on the smaller details rather than just stamp the big picture there and call it a day.
Half my drawings take at least 1 day of work, 3 days at most.
I could come up with more cnc, but my brain is too tired to do so.

Yeah, based on all the CnC here as well as my own views on this, I'd say this does look like a child's drawing, lol. I won't say first grader since kids can't draw lines that smoothly though, without using 100 brush smoothing on flash.

I'll take your comments into mind and hopefully, I'll be able to make a better one next time.
