My favorite aspect of this are the three characters at the bottom. I like the warm personality the lady on the left has and her smile, and how there's a nice sense of volume to her arms, her face and her figure. The lankier girl in the middle has a fun, quirky outfit with lots of baggy, rolled up elements that fit her lithe figure well and pair well with her mischievous smile to give her a fun, energetic personality. Then the one on the left -- her exaggerated face shape and the scarves and other elements of her outfit that have lots of fun patterns (I always like how you use patterns in your art -- whether it's to design outfits or to give a unique texture to things) all make for a fun character that contrasts with the others.

I also like the green, fuzzy creature on the right towards the top. You always come up with really interesting, nature-inspired spirits/creatures.

aww thank you!

soo... I will try to explain it, sorry if it gets confusing
first off -  I use one of these photoshop brushes www.deviantart.com/art/BRUSHES… it's the one called 'sampled brush 1 1', I use it almost for everything, it works well in thinner lines as well as in broader thicker ones, it's great for watercolor effects too. the process itself is quite easy:
1. I make a layer with flat colors
2. I make another layer above it and put it either on Overlay or Color burn blending mode (or whatever else, depends what effect do you like),  then I use that brush (thicker, about 300 px), choose a fitting color or colors and draw over the picture. the blending mode will affect the layer underneath. it's good to leave some places uncolored or erase some parts, it creates interesting effects
3. I make one more layer. I use that brush again but this time thinner (as thin as a pencil point in this case). I use the eyedropper to pick various tones from the layer(s) underneath and use these colors to make short hatchy lines
and that's pretty much it!

uuhh I really don't know if I made myself clear, explaing stuff isn't really my forte.. should I make a step by step picture tutorial?
if you want to know something else feel free to ask
