Pieces for my portfolio

So on the side from working on commissions, trades and my Neg 2 project, I've been trying to do pieces that I could use in my portfolio. So this is what this is. It was also a practice with colours and backgrounds. I'm really starting to feel a lot more confident and comfortable with painting backgrounds, and they seem to be coming more naturally to me these days.

So this is Trevor, and I'm not really sure if this piece is strong enough for my portfolio, but it was good practice and fun either way.
