Fantasy/Portrait Painting Practice

I found it's really hard to find time painting with a full time job and young kids surrounded...
But still managed to paint one after all the life struggle with time management...
Sometimes the inspirations arrives but didn't catch it in time; when you have time to paint, it disappeared...
This painting is to try out the combined techniques with my old fantasy style and the portrait painting...
The result is interesting. I wish to see more Gothic look in my paintings next time... LOL

My new painting: Holding a Bird, 22"x 28" acrylic painting on stretched canvas
