This image is designed for use as a thumbnail so that the background does not compete with the figure.
Face detail
The figure, seperated from the background. From left to right, the finished figure, 'black and white' version and without the top layer of the hood.
Hood detail showing the overlay made from laser cut leather. For an actual sample of my laser cut leather work view:

Hood detail without overlay showing fabric modeling representing long pile velvet.
I felt that this double layered hood had a folkloric feel so I developed this background for larger images.
