Inverted Hindu Art

Here's some art that i did recently based off a free-use image of Lord Murugan. The original image was done by the famous painter, Ravi Varma.

I used the cartoon effect to bring out the lines and then inverted the colors. I'm thinking i should change the background from purple to a darker color in order to make the image more striking. Always something new to learn and do.

Maybe i can crop the foreground image or alternatively, i could add a layer and do the color change there.
