God of gods

very subtle changes but i felt like i needed to make the skin texture and eyes a bit better so yea :) good warm up before i start my frist landscape (oh god) :P


To add background?

I'm pretty pleased with the result of this one - I can;t believe the difference in studying value and using references...

Anyway, some how I feel without the back ground (first pic) it looks alot more realistic and has more depth...



But adding in a dark background ( and I must add this background in - I don't want an incomplete picture) - seems to make it look flat... and doesn't look as good....or is it just me? I'm very confused. Sorry for the sudden post.
