Thanks, NRAG! I pushed the mass into the background. I feel like I need something of interest over there though, no? I am also a little worried about the lantern taking too much focus, being so contrasty.
Here's an update on this piece. Still a work in progress. Day job and other distractions are taking up so much time. Anyway, I think this is the most story telling I've done in a piece, and it's kind of evolved as I paint. The idea now is that maybe he's up to some shady business in the woods, some kind of dark ceremony or something like that, and he's just heard a sound in the woods, so he's investigating. I kind of want to add a character or creature sneaking up behind him behind that fence/barricade thing. Thoughts?
