Ok, so I have this skull:



And I don't know what to do with the background. Ideas?

Oh, and critique on the skull itself would be appreciated as well.

the skull is way too soft, with too much rounded shapes, and has some anatomical errors


-jaw is slanted more
-nose is bigger
-jaw has a way smaller hole near the ear
-cheekbones
-chin
-teeth align
-eyebrow ridges
-bottom back of the skull ends higher

Pragz: I'm not sure what you mean.

snader: I was using a skeleton statuette I have in my house as a ref, but I can see the errors now, thanks.

Howzat?

For the background put it buried inside the ground or something

You mean like a side-view or just kinda thrown into the dirt?

Also, anyone else got a suggestion?

I think he means like an ant farm. Which would fix the slightly weird perspective it currently has ( it doesn't look like it rests on something with the backside).

Zat is a lot better BTW, but it's still very soft and fuzzy. Here's a paintover:
