I think that you could give the characters more shading to help them stand out.

You're doing pretty well on the background as far as I can. All you have to do is put more work into the clouds (reference from a pic!) and put more time into those pillars in the BG..

Right now the pencil sketch really seperates the pillars in the fore from the pillars in back.

you hava a very solid syle i like the other drawing you posted on the links they are very dinamic expecilay the kid with the pigs =)

The image looks very good as it is but IMO i would add more tones, a wider gamma of color on the background as for now it looks to brown-orange, look up for some grand canyon or desertic formation phots so that you can come up with a solution for your tones =)
