Aww, I missed the stream, didn't I?
This looks amazing!
I like trying the sticker effect too, but the way you implemented it makes the piece look really cool.

Your piece has been found by me through projectcomment.deviantart.com/ .

Hello! This is very interesting! The gear which the man and the rabbit (bat? Marsupial of some description? XD) are wearing, make it look like they are spelunkers in a Steampunk adventure. The style you've used gives the characters an mix between serious and goofy, which is something I always like. 
You've certainly got the personality down, as these two look like they'd make for some great protagonists. 

I like what you were doing with the sticker look, but I think that instead of bordering everything with blackness you should have placed another sticker layer. This would not only have expanded the world of the piece but maybe would have given us a hint at what these two are looking at. However, the darkness does suit the cavern theme.

In a more serious concern, the man's right arm looks a little awkward in its position across his chest. It looks wonky (especially around the fingers), and maybe a little too slender? I know that he's reaching for his knife, but something about the position just looks...off. Maybe if the fingers didn't look that way, then it wouldn't be an issue I have. But it looks like, given the length of his arm, he would have trouble removing the knife and unless that was your intention, I'd suggest looking into that. 

The shading is also well done, and the eyes behind them lend a sinister vibe to the situation and create a sense of impending danger. You've definitely set up an engaging good scene. 

Good luck with future endeavors!

From Project Comment:

This is clever and cute, and it gives me a lot to talk about, so, thank you.  I like the depictions of the two characters, and you've developed an intriguing style.  the basic linework is fairly cartoony...not overly simple, but not aspiring for photorealism or even mainstream comic-book realism: I'm thinking high-end animated cartoon.  Then you depart from that relatively simple start and add carefully chosen colors and outstanding lighting.  This makes me think of Pixar and Disney.  I especially appreciate how you haven't been afraid to darken the whites of their eyes.  This adds good realism.

I'm confused by a couple of things, though, as I look at it.  The stalactites in the foreground and between the man's legs, together with the dark border and his use of a flashlight indicate that they may be spelunking.  but then there's the appearance of all the eyes behind them.  It looks like a big blobby monster, which is cool, but then...why can I still see the stalactites between his legs?  Wouldn't a monster this size obscure that along with the rest of the cave's opening?  The other thing that confuses me is the man's flashlight.  After a moment I figured out that you're employing foreshortening and extreme perspective.  But then it's inconsistent.  If you continue that rate of shrinkage as objects recede into the background, shouldn't his alien friend be even tinier?  They look like they're scaled evenly, but he's clearly a little behind the man.  If the flashlight can grow so much with only a half-extended arm, then his left leg should be noticeably smaller, and the alien even more so.  I think the easiest solution would be to make the flashlight lens somewhat smaller than it is.  Finally, it looks like the alien has a lamp on his hat.  Why isn't that on?  Maybe I'm overthinking it, but if it's broken, you might put a crack in the lens.  Then again, maybe you're just leaving something for the viewer to think about to help him/her engage with the image more.

I also like your careful use of blur.  While our heroes remain in sharp focus, objects both nearer and further are out of focus.  This is great for adding depth.  Except that the stalactites in the distance (which should maybe be hidden behind the monster anyway) are also in focus, so it breaks down there.

These are really the only suggestions I have, and I hope you find them helpful.  I like your paper cut-out look.

 Wow this is great, it really looks like a paper-cut out, the proportions give a 3-d effect. especially the flashlight, it seems to jump off the page. Great job on the expressions too; the man looks unamused at us, and his cute little bunny assistant looks like they really don't want to be there.

Ooo This is awesome! I like the effect of the paper-cut-out look! The person-whose-name-I-forgot looks older than usual and without his glasses, is that on purpose? Or is this a different character?
