PROJECT I - bg design quick study

Just did another quick bg concept thing here, aimed for more bg/mg contrast here (bg darker), although i'm not sure how dark I want it to be, I don't want to drown out TOO much of the detail or stuff in general. Also I figured out a good brush for the back black curtains! :D (barely visible but they are there)

The goal here is to emulate stage lighting in a way

I will probably do another study or few, but for now I will focus in the character stuff for a lil bit, prepare your intestines for that

Feedback/thoughts on this are always appreciated!
