UPDATED WORKS IN PROGRESS

I thought about adding semi-gloss to the eyes, lips, and nostrils, however, I am afraid that reflections might detract from the final image. I need to create a background in either red or blue that has depth. I experimented with yellow, red, and green lighting on the left side of the face, but did not like the results. So, I'm thinking blue light with a red background is probably the way to go.

I still need to paint body hair on this figure, right now he looks 13. I like the way the yellow light projects on the left side of the body. The background needs more depth as well.

This was a test shirt, the final one will be sewn around the edge. The hair also needs some work: highlights and lowlights. I will be adding subtle veins to the eyes as well. While I have backgrounds in mind for the other 2, I am still undecided about this one.

The 4th one, in my studio, will be painted monochrome green with red, purple, and blue letters next to it, in front of a yellow background.

I still have alot of work to do, and will try to finish before reviews...
