Interesting how the artist decided to just run with the CAD program solid-color artstyle. (Although the lines are obviously not as neat in the hand-drawn section...)

Some artists tend to use stock images or tones for background. This allows focus on the boy and his dog looking out of the window. Does remind me a bit of Herge's Tin-Tin.

CAD wouldn't necessarily be a stock image, at least, in the sense that it's trivial to change the camera angle and lighting in-program. CAD programs are popular for really complicated artificial scenery (in the sense of scenery of buildings rather than less geometric objects like a forest) since it does neat lines well and manages to make a clear sense of depth and proportion.
Inversely, however, CAD tends to have such a clear and distinct look and feel and unrelentingly geometric cell-shading appearance that it really clashes with nearly any hand-drawn elements placed over it. Hence, I'm commenting on how much the artist is trying to make his style blend in, rather than trying to edit the CAD scenery by hand to make it blend with the artist's own style, the way some others have done. I.E. Look at the difference between the mountains and the buildings in this image.

I see. Not so much the boy and dog, but Santa and the reindeer against the fire escape looks more off to me. But then I guess the differences are not a deal breaker to me or at least one of the moderators.
