This is not the answer, but it is a step. While I like the style, I don't think it's how Silas would paint. And THAT has been the problem. I need to know how he would paint and why his style wouldn't be accepted. Honestly, the style of the Silas in the foreground is more like what I should be doing for his STYLE and the one in the background should be more like the character. Or something. I'll figure it out eventually. But it's damned hard figuring out how a fictional character would make art.
