Something I drew in MS Paint and posted in a couple other threads, but never commented on so can you judge

Hey, thanks man. I really love the criticism you've given my artwork. Anyways, I wanted to get some critique for this one. I'm probably going to change the background, but I just wanted some advice on the picture itself.

It's based off a character from one of my favorite noir detective comics. ^_^

Blacksad! I have all of the original printings and the sketchbook! :D Love that comic.
Pretty good overall, the bg isn't though. I'd lose the black, try a super dark brown with a leather texture or maybe some splattered ink or paint. Something gritty like the character and like the comic. Maybe some bricks. But a neutral color so it doesn't draw away from the character art here. Also, the weird light thing on his lip. I'd remove that too, good work though, digging it. Glad to see some Blacksad love up in here man. ^5
