With the angle, try one like no.1 c'ept lower down like it is from a small child's view.

Think funkey bunnies is spot on with his suggestion for the camera close to the end of the broom.

yeah - good to see you still working on this joopson.

Like the others, I definitely agree that a more dramatic camera angle will really help. I also think that a few more objects will help break up the scene and give it more interest - maybe a table behind the ninja with a vase, or a chest of a drawers... just an idea. user added image

definitely 1 - it already looks a lot better - though I might rotate the character a bit just so you can see his pose. I might also move the tv in the bedroom forward a touch just so you can see it.

I think the superbright light you have in the hallway is what the real problem is. I don't think has anything to do with the camera angle or the modeling. All that stuff looks fantastic. Loose the big bright light, and add some small lights on the walls ( to the front and back) and see what happens.

Of course this is only a suggestion.

as far as the angle I agree with gster, I think it would look best inbetween the two angles. Maybe with a bit of a bias towards the second one. The pose is really nice and you lose a lot of its dynamism in the first one because its too hidden and because the pose was created with a frontal view in mind and in the second one because it loses the viewer's involvement. (He could also be scooted a little closer to the door, I think.)

Another thing that I think could be improved is THX's suggestion. I would use much dimmer light. This is probably at night and the lighting is too distracting. I think you should have a dim light at the left, the dimmer light coming from the tv, and add some rimlight if you need to.

I don't think you need the table behind him - especially with so much showing. Remember, the audience is pretty smart, if we see the end of a table there we'll know it's a table. I think it's just a bit distracting atm.

Anyway it's shaping up, man.

I think it should be a bit darker in the parent‘s room, and it would be nice if you could add some DoF, mostly on the broom (since it’s so close to the camera).

I agree, I think it could be a bit darker and don't be afraid to mess with it a little in photoshop. I think you could see just a little bit more of his face and I think he could be closer to the door with the door closed a little bit more. It's kinda weird that he's putting his hand to his ear awkwardly far from an open door. Oh also, I think the TV should be more of a blue color. If you have the time it would be nice to tweak the pose, it's not as awesome from this angle because you were planning on a different view when you made it.

Anyway, this looks a ton better than it did before.
Great job, man user added image

Just a little more
