That's a great background! The mountain is lovely and the level of detail and choice of colour complements the character beautifully. The green of the trees goes with his tunic, the red of the earth with his skin and belt. I like the dragon too.
I like the pose, expression, 'baggy' shorts and hair. He looks very determined -- to reach his goal and become an angel perhaps? (It does sound a bit ToS-ish, but I gather becoming angel in not a Good Thing(tm) in that universe). His man made me think of Temari from Naruto.
The only criticism I really have (aside from the biggish thumb) is the 'flares' -- they're more distracting than anything in my opinion.

This is so totally awesome. The painting is breathtaking. I have 848 deviations to check right now. I'll comment more later.

I think the background looks great! I don't see anything "uninspirational". Really. The only part of the background that needs improvement is the sandy part right behind Hiyoshi. It looks like it could be blended just a bit more. Everything else looks phenomenal, though.
Nice work on Hiyo-kun, too.

i think it looks quite nice and i found it to look like a paint effect which makes it smoothe in some areas. the clouds are soft and the character DOES look very young. this is a nice piece of work if you asked me, which you didn't, but you get my meaning.

"What an uninspirational background, what's wrong with me" ... good question. what is wrong with you? can't you see that this picture is absolutely gorgeous?
the background is NOT uninspirational, it's a work of art. if you blend the colours into each other slightly more and give the dragon's legs a more interesting position then i'd say that this background was practically perfect.
as for the character, the hand could be a bit smaller, but frankly i think it's fine because i only noticed it was disproportioned because i read your comment to the picture. Hiyoshi's hair could have a little more colour to it, taking note of the colour of the sky, it would surely leave some sort of orangey sunset/rise shadow on his hair, i think you've done the clothing highlight well though, good colour choice.
don't be so hard on yourself - you know i always point out every detail to a somewhat 'nitpicking' degree, but i can't really suggest anything other than what i have. it's beautiful, the character is cute and the background is perfect - i can't see any of those plastic clouds you were on about and i truly love the colours you chose for the mountain. this is a - fantasy style pics ftw

this is great, i think your being to hard on yourself. OK, yes the hand is a little big, but you can always scale it down. I have a hard time getting proportions right sometimes. your freaking out over small things, just breath and relax.

and for the record I can't find the plasticy look in the clouds. it just looks very layered which i think from the angle of the viewer would be normal. *shrugs* maybe that's just me

Your comment on this sounds a bit of ToS. Is there a reason for that?
Nice picture though, yet reminds me a bit of Link from Zelda, but with no sword and a very big dangerus fan. I like the background plus the dragon.
All in all creativity and everything, I hate to rate it like this an 9 out of a 10.

Just a very little bit sounds like ToS a very little bit.
