I agree with Kopper. Thumb 5 is pretty evocative and the lighting scheme suits nicely. Perhaps he is standing in front of his space desk, in his space office, with his space banner behind him (could be a screen or holo of some sort?). We often see Tywin at a desk working in the series. If you choose that one, do a few more comps, just to get it as balanced and dynamic as possible, and begin to work out more fundamentals, like his pose (very stiff atm, even if he is standing there, there can be dynamic rhythm to his gesture and pose to keep it interesting). Might also want to try extending the canvas up a little more and have a longer banner, as it feels a little claustrophobic atm. Koppers suggestion to go to master paintings of full figure portraits of royalty etc might be very useful.
