I've been working on a project with an fairy and elf fighting each other for teeth. I was able to get some better lighting structure on this from its previous iteration. But I do feel like this piece feels stale and off colored. Angle wise it might be a bit too on the nose, and I'm struggling to combine color and value together properly. Any thoughts are appreciated. The darker one was my first attempt going for a more dramatic noir look but I felt like it just didn't read well.
