Hey Sweet!
Ugh! I often get that feeling of 'something is missing' when I'm working on something artistic. I notice if I stare at it for too long I start feeling like that so I always have to take a break from it and come back with a fresh brain later. It helps :) also leaving it to the characters is not a bad idea. XD I'd trust Guntur any day! (I hope that sentiment doesn't change by the time I finish the game I think he's my favorite)
