So I need some help mostly with the background layout here. Im pretty happy with the foreground but I rarely do backgrounds of much depth so I need some suggestions here. I think I might be making a mistake in opening up the space so much and haveing it go as deep at it is.
Basically what you are looking at is
- The central figure is sitting atop a pile of corpses in various stages of decay.
-In the immediatly and intermediat backgrounds there are long sheets of draped fabric and bodies hanging from chains.
-In the farthest background, there is a back wall with a set of states a door, and a basic red 'exit' sign.
I have two primary ideas for the lighting, ultimatly. 1 is to make it dark with scant but interestingly colored lighting. 2 is to give it cold, hospital-light ceiling lighting, making it very bright and very VERY clearly illumanateing every piece of gore- Im hestitant to do the second because It will involved a lot more work for me since I havent tried that before and I dont know if I can get it to come off how I want it to.

Hm... I would say my FIRST inclination is to make the perspective go off to the right (my right, the image's left). Right now it's going straight back, sometimes too much symmetry can make an image uninteresting. With how she's sitting there, I feel like the viewer is being drawn into the image from left to right, and so the background should reflect that too. Only my opinion however, just suggestions.
As far as coloring, I usually go for darkness with gore-y pieces just because I try to think of it like an old horror movie. The less you saw of something, the more it became creepy or threatening. And whatever you want the viewer to look at, you emphasize the most. :)
There's my two-cents :) Good luck and I hope it turns out how ya want it too! You've defiantly got a good image going here!
