So...I had a few concepts with like...little pieces of food that are personified. In a way. For this piece, I decided to make the main characters a piece of popcorn (girl) and a nacho chip (preferably a boy), running through a carnival (or a boardwalk/fair). Behind them would be a piece of candy, either a M&M or a Skittle:
(This is just the concept btw, not actually the line art...) 
Should I keep the candy sad (like he wishes he could hang out with the girl) or happy (since he is at a carnival)? Also, would it make more sense that there would be nacho cheese hanging from the nacho chip? Or would that not work? And how would one pixel such a gooey attribute? Here's what I have so far:

Your first concept image portrays Nacho more of a Dorito nacho chip.
But whether the candy is happy or sad is entirely up to you, as it is your piece of art, and it is your message to portray. Ultimately though, with Popcorn and Nacho running hand-in-hand, the more stereotypical approach to the candy in the back would be for him to be sad if he's the only other sentient aside from the two in the foreground. |

You have a lot more emotion going on in your concept than your current work... I like the style of the thick lines in your concept and it flows more artistically. I recommend cleaning up the lines from your concept piece and use that as your lines for your final.
Remember that lines don't have to be straight, or perfectly circular. |
