Background help
I could really use some input with this background. This is in progress from life sittings and detailing from photos.
This portrait is of a young man I have known for years. He was actually a political prisoner of Romania until he was 6 years old and was able to join his parents in the States.
During our sittings it has been interesting to talk to him about his past and grandparents. I have also discovered that he has a real "chip" on his shoulder in addition to being 16 years old. I tease him about us knocking that off during our sittings. Which leads me to the background.
Marius likes people to find him unusual and dark, but not gothic. I wanted to use this very dark background with the value of his hair and shirt for that reason. I am concerned too much of him may be getting lost.
Please note that this is at twelve hours and is not completed, his glasses haven
