If you have time would you be willing to try one more thing.

If you put a partially transparent black fill over the mini and then do a few passes over the area of the min with a feathered eraser in Photoshop you can make it look like the darkness is enveloping the statue more like the image quozl provided. Start with an eraser brush as wide as the statue and then with each pass decrease the brush size so that the center of the statue completely removes the black partially transparent layer and it gets progressively darker toward the edges. There are other ways to do it as well using gradients and such. Just trying to get more shadows on the sides.
