Beautifully painted head. Superb job on the modeling. The small drawing errors don't bother me at all. It's a painting not a photo. Speaking of which, great reference photo. I like the background values and color in the photo better than what you painted in your study.
I think you would be better served by trying to arrange a background that pleases you instead of merely trying to invent something. I think if you could get a small printer that can generate 4x6 prints on the spot, when you shoot, it would help you see if the pose and background are working.
I've been using a Canon CP-200 (see photo below) for this very purpose. I can pick up on small anomalies in lighting and pose that are difficult to spot through the viewfinder or on the LCD display. I don't know if your D100 is PictBridge dedicated like my D70, but you might want to look into this. The great thing is that my clients can sign off on an image right there and then, or if they have considerations, these can be addressed while everything is still set up.
