Description I'm still trying to figure out the background (not my strong point, by any means) for this portrait, but I think I might be about half way done. Okay more like half way done with the face and 1/3 done with the rest...

Opinions? I really suck at backgrounds, other wise I wouldn't usually be a bother and post a painting halfway through

honestly if you kept the background like that I would think it would look cool. But if you want it to look as refined as the figure I would say that you could finish that cool design stained glass look behind him and it would also look good.

maybe some green blues to contrast the orange values in the face? im a fan of gradients personally
its very eye catching, what medium are you using?

I'm using oils, so I've been trying to give them some time to dry (any failing at trying because I want to keep messing with it).

I agree with the green blues as well. I was trying to go for it around the head, but the paint was too wet and it ended up muddy.

Thanks for the advice!
