The ground seems to be high up, I would make it lower down. Maybe add a sun in the sky?

the ground is too empty, and takes too much of the pic. and that red+blue lightning thingy burns my eyes. And also first i thought that there are outline problems, but when I zoomed in, i realised that those are tussocks. Those are hard to see. Also you should replace the black outlines with dark colours.
Apart from these this mockup is pretty funny, and i think it will look very pretty, when you complete it.

Dither out the sky for a smoother transition, especially the bright bottom part.

The Green lighting is a tad too solid for my tastes, but it definitely fits the style of the piece

Given that the light source is from the back, the shading here makes absolutely no sense. Try making highlights similar to how you'd make shadows, curving around the edges, with the strongest points being closest to the sun.

If it helps you, then try shading the highlight from a lightsource in the opposite direction, then flip the shadows and highlights.
