Seeing as nobody's critiqued this yet (let alone commented on it) I feel obligated to.

First off, your texture for the grass is actually very well done. It sufficiently captures the look of each individual blade. The same can be said of the rain with the droplets cascading down through the sky.
I'm confused as to what your title "If Only" is referring to as all we're seeing is the back of a character standing in the rain. Is this meant to be you? Do you wish you were this character?
As for the character itself, I'm not sure about the species either. Judging by the tail and brown fur I want to say it's a deer. I'm also assuming it's male. Even so, what's the rational behind this? Why is he standing shirtless in the rain? I wish there was some description to explain the context of the scene. Perhaps you intended to leave this open to the viewers' interpretation, but there's not much to work with.
Nitpicks: 1) The bench in the background is sloppy in comparison to the rest of the scenery. 2) His pants pockets look drawn on as if they're not real. 3) While you did a good job simulating fur with the arms, the torso looks comparatively flat. 4) You can see where you went outside the lines in a few places.
Overall, I give you credit for attempting something fairly unique, but I honestly feel the execution was a bit sloppy. Your message isn't made clear, nor is your character's action/species. For the most part the background scenery is well put together. As is the character's general form. The problem is it lacks context. Good try nonetheless
