Jaye23: Thank you, glad you enjoy those details! Thanks for the suggestion regarding the guitar as well, went ahead and tweaked it!
Maxilla: Thank you, and great suggestions! I feel the backgrounds gives it an iconic look even if it's a bit symmetrical, but hopefully it isn't too distracting. I kept it fairly low contrast as to not be too overwhelming in the final, even if cost me a bit of detail work.
darktiste: I'm using mostly values to help the figure pop, with the lighting coming directly from the top to give it a more theatrical look. Hopefully it works in this context!
Crowbit: Thank you! Brom paints some great illustrations so it's quite a compliment to hear it gives you that vibe! I don't usually paint dark themes but it's fun to experiment here and there!

Went ahead and painted the image in. The values in the background gave me a bit of trouble, but ultimately I decided to use a neutral gray color mostly for it to help the figure pop even if it cost me a bit of detail work. Pretty satisfied with the image overall. I'm open to tweaking the image a bit further if needed if something feels off, so please feel free to let me know your feedback! Below is the current progress followed by the steps for those interested:
