I would do several 4" x 6" thumbnail sketches, not elaborately detailed, to explore the questions you're asking. I like Marvin's approach, and think you could get that to work in the size format you're looking at. Do some with and without the feet. If you keep the feet, they work to stop the eye from sliding off the canvas, and redirect the viewer back into the pictoral space. You could knock their value down slightly so they don't compete, or you could cool off the temperature of the flesh to help them recede.
