I'm still working on my paintings, although I've yet to apply brush to canvas and the deadline is fast approaching. Erk. I've got about five designs that I'm pretty happy with, though, and will probably start painting in the next few days. However, I'd appreciate some advice first.
Here is one of the designs:
I'm reasonably happy with the design, but I can't settle on a good colour-scheme. Here are some questions:
1) Does the orange/red/white work at all? If so, does it work with a pale blue face?
2) If not, have you any other pallette suggestions?
3) Any suggestions for the background? Both in terms of colour and design. As it is it's fairly dull. I don't want it so busy that it's going to detract from the foreground, but I'd like to have some kind of visual engagement going on there.
If it helps, the kind of idea I have in mind for the character is a sort of holy warrior. I'm not beholden to that, but I want him to exude a combination of piety, arrogance and power.
