I spent 5 min looking for references

Oh yes, 5 minutes of looking for refs is fine. I usually do that too, NOT 2 hours+, mind you, I swear. Heheh >_>

I don't want to assume and sounding like I'm looking down on your art skill, which I'm not, but you seem a bit dissatisfied by the result of this one? For me, I really like the look of it! Looking at it I'm getting a fantasy and/or RPG vibes, maybe one of the transitioning arts in an RPG game while the narrator speaks or something like that ^^
It's pretty cool!
