the soul of a stoner jk no name yet

Ok so im not really a stoner, I was smoking the other night, and I started this painting, well actually its been a month or three since i started. Im stumped. I was wondering If anyone had any suggestions for the background. The center is actually a med. shade of purple with lighter shade as you go it. It has hints of gold, and the speckles are green. I know high quality camera right? The girl is me, red hair, pale peach and gold skin. Its supposed to be a representation of me when I was stoned. I cant find the right background. I keep changing it and I HATE THEM ALL. I thought all black might be cool, with some white speckles for like stars or something. Anyways Im throwing it out to you and posing the great question... WWUD what would you do???

to me its ok like this, I like it a lot, it looks like those russian icons in a more modern way.

 

youre hot

looks cool, its just too centered though
if you could some how move the person to the right or left and then put something off in the backround a little bit for balance, thatd look cool(er).. maybe i dont know

 

black always takes away from color. it draws all the shades to a lighter hue and flatens the drawing. if you did the background a few shades of blue with orange specs it would lighten the purple and pull it forward, also bringing forward your image of yourself. you might try to purple in the contours of the figure as well to show more definition.

 

thanx for the advice.... Its alot more shaded the cam just sucks... the orange is a good idea though

as far as centering it, i cant move it. I know all the rules and whatever, I just wanted it there for some reason. thanx for the hot thing too lol

 

you're a beautiful girl doing beautiful paintings! you say the center is a shade of purple? if it were my painting, i'd put some lilacy, light purples and light blues in the background. i think it's ok like this, but being an artist, i understand when something just doesnt look finished. good luck!

 

i like that idea. Its hard to say it looks finished form that pic....you cant really see the backround. I have a better cam i just cant find the plug. When i do ill post a better pic
