Advice needed.

AHHH! Ok, I'm working on a new picture right now that I'm not very happy with.
Here it is so far.

My problems with it:
1. No color seems to fit him very well... I want the colors to match but I don't want them to be boring either... am I asking for too much? T.T

2. When I drew this, I only had "Alice in Wonderland" in mind. Then after I started coloring, I started thinking and now I think I might of unconsciously ripped off my idol Endling's OC Clockwork Bunny. Dx

Curse you unoriginality, curse you...

3.The picture looks more retarded the more I spend time on it. Right now I have an urge to just scrap it before I pull my hair out, and this is where you guys come in...

Should I scrap it? Or should I keep working on it?

If you chose the latter, give me some goddamn coloring ideas. I'm so lost! Dx

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free. However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment... You still qualify.

01 - I will NOT draw your request until I see this in your journal. >:0
02 - In your comment, include a link to a reference picture of the character you want me to draw.
03 - If your request is too complicated, or outside of my expertise, it may take me a while to get to it, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons, so I'll do my best :3

Or you can use the Lasso tool and select the area you wanna color, then fill it in with the paint bucket! >u<b
