@06:25yes.. oh very nice. I know you're still working on this.. so I have no idea what you have planned.
but I would say is. put a bit of backlighting (so when you're shading to dark.. don't go dark all the way to the edge. soften that edge with a touch lighter. and near the end.. put a slight gradient on the lower half of the body (so your eyes focus on the upper body.. a very soft gradient). let me know if you want me to show you what i mean (if you like).
