I'm not totally satisfied with this outcome. I like paintings that have a little mystery, or some transparency. 

This seems too obvious somehow.

This is the part I like because of the textures, gold glow and the birdskull. I went to a natural museum a while ago and took so many pictures.

If you want to see if a portrait is anatomical correct you can look in the mirror while holding the painting and you will see the "mistakes" you've made. Or you can flip it in Photoshop to see the difference.
