To me, since the spiteful, brooding character is lit up so vibrantly, I think the background should be brighter, or a small light source that the character is huddling around, like a candle, or a lamp, should be put in, although that would require a rather severe change in the colors used on the character, which may be too much work for the end result. Really a small thing over all, but I just think it wouldn't be bad to think about it. As it is, I'm really enjoying watching this progress, looking forward to the finish.
