New Interiors: Ladies of Ill Repute!

Thanks IG!

After several hours of wrangling with The GIMP, I finally managed to get my graphics tablet working consistently. I've toned down the shading on the hand about as far as I currently can. I don't have an up to date version with separate layers, which means that the midtones, shadows and highlights are all baked in together, making it fairly tricky to edit. I think I've managed to achieve a reasonable lessening of the skeletal look, however.

The underwear has undergone a re-design. I've also added a cloud effect to the background to break it up subtly, and got rid of an error that caused the figure's skin to be orange in some places (let's face it, fake tan is not a good look. ).

My question is this: what next? I imagine you'll want some kind of text on it. The background could probably do with being made to look more like paper. IG and I had a discussion a while back that ended up in us deciding not to put a head on the figure to make it seem impersonal - is this still what you want?

It would be possible to add lizard skin and a tail - I've never painted scales before, though, so I imagine it would be rather time consuming. I can have a look into it, but no promises. Thinking about it, I'd likely have to start again, since as mentioned above I no longer have a version of the figure without the out of whack left leg (see the image in the first post!).

So, any thoughts?

Edit: Thinking about it, the metal parts higher up on the figure look a little cumbersome, so I'll probably make them more like the waistband/belt.
