I'm really enjoying your entry a lot, great job on the villainy here!
I was just wondering though, are you purposefully keeping his face a bit obscured by having him be really busy everywhere else? I feel like maybe if you made the pink and red on the hat a little more prominent, it might help sell the top hat more and lead the viewer back to the face?
Just a thought of course, it's a shame to see a top hat not get the attention it deserves!
