Haha, thanks for dropping by!

At first, I did plan to use as a reference a picture of Morgan Freeman, and in fact, I was doing it when the lights went out [almost fractured my toe on my way back to my room(on a side note, I am smart)] and completely lost my progress, so the following morning I was too enraged because of having to start again from scratch and hurried the sketch so much I didn't even use a reference, although I used the photo again later for the skin tone. I miself would've loved to see this finished at a 100%, but the clothes were so troublesome and I had to draw them so many times I almost facedesked.

As for the lack of background, all the time, when I work on something for either a long or really short time, I usually say "Alright, I upload it today and update it later on with a background" and never finish it because of either laziness or wanting to start drawing something else and completely forget about it... nah, just laziness lol

oh, and by the way, don't think you owe me anything at all, I have a tendency to try to observe and point out what I like the most and the least, so I really enjoy writing reviews just as much as reading them, and I love getting nice reviews like yours, so worry not :D
