Hiya! I am a fan of the rug removal :) As the rock's look is still in development possibly, I think it might be cool to have a little bit of a landing site type thing.
I like the look of him sitting there without the rug, but when he "descends" (beams down?) it looks a bit weird for him to have nothing there. I mean, not a problem or anything - probably I'm just comparing it to the way it was, having a rug to land on.
Anyway, I think it would be fantastic to have a little shadowed "divot" in the ground where he lands.
Although, maybe it would be odd, visually, for the divot to be there before he gets there - maybe after? Technically the divot could be from him sitting there before but I don't think that would be as obvious as the visual imput.
Okay, I'm tired and rambly and probably shouldn't post this but what the heck.
Divot!
