Darkiste: I have studied a little about composition...

I took robert watts course on watts atelier and took almost 100 notes, you can read and even take those down yourself here.

I took all glen vilppu's courses on classical composition on NMA, all of Bill Perkins on NMA, done hundreds of tracover/thumbnail studies on master works to identify shapes, themes and patterns of composition, read most of greg manchess (and other artists on that site) articles on muddy colors, read a classical approach to oil painting by soloman j soloman, read and own Creative Illustration, been a long time fan of paul richards babe lab which is heavy on scene development and design, as well as written up pleeenty of critiques on composition on people on this very forum as well as even helping photographers and amateur filmakers develop a better eye for framing shots IRL via my knowledge composition!




Anyways i spent many hours cleaning it up and im kinda wrestling around with different ways to get the characters to come forward on the canvas. im more than open to any suggestions or crits on anything if anny little thing looks off ill fix it. im iffy about robins face but strangely a few ppl i showed it to noted he was attractive so i guess its okay, but i may end up using 3d to enhance it. 

The values feel kinda samey in the mid tones so i may make the background darker, idk i work so differently now, i like tile every brush stroke, i plan things out with lighting, just complete opposite of how i worked a year ago even.
