@Artloader: Aww, that's unfortunate. I don't think I'd be a good judge of that myself though, I've never been thrown out of a painting that I didn't actively decide to stop looking at. I'm more of the James Gurney school of thought when it comes to composition. Anyways, thanks for stopping by, and for the comments :).

It was actually pretty tough to paint these, I haven't painted portraits from ref' in so long(last one was over a year ago) and none of the colors I used are in the original references. I'd say I'm rusty, but actually looking back at my old portraits, I don't think I actually pushed them very far, so it's not surprising I was struggling.
