Bright contrasting background and lighting on clothing and accessories, yet the face doesn’t feature as much, was that the intention?

Yeah my main focus was more colors and lighting for this piece. I paint a lot more portrait types of pieces and I feel like I need to improve placing characters in the scenes with good lighting.
I honestly just didn’t feel like going in and doing super detailed rendering since I am trying to get out of zooming in too much as a habit.
I also wanted to improve my understanding of how colors and values correlate to each other. That’s also why I chose Guweiz since he handles highly saturated colors so well without going overboard (imo). Especially with the way light works.
This is what it looks like in greyscale if you are interested.
Hope this helps you understand a little of what I was thinking about going painting this study (:
