/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Does this image give you a certain feeling? Pic related (my art) was close to my style a handful of years ago. I tried drawing characters as well but to no avail. I think the amount of details I thought I needed to draw a character put me off. Present day, I found myself going into figure drawing and perspective in the hopes of improving my skills but nothing has really vibed with me.
I just find myself bombarded with too many details with figures. I'm too much of a perfectionist with them and I'm finding it difficult to really comprehend what I'm drawing. What should I do? Switch to backgrounds instead of figures? I've been trying to figure out what my problem is and I think I need a little outsider help :(
