Emptiness isn't something to shy away from, especially if it's what you're trying to go for. But traditionally, focusing on the viewer is better for a portrait style, or if you want to convey greater action, focusing on something else in the picture.

Emptiness can be good if that's the theme of the picture, yes, but it also needs to be revolved around that then; more space around the character, colors that match. Emptiness isn't like the sun - you can't stuff it in everywhere and expect it to contribute, it's too close to what seems like unfinished work.
From a quick DA art search:
Emptiness by * Zindy on deviantART
It's actually a very good piece. The artist have stuck only to using a greyscale set of colors and left out space so that in a full view your attention befalls her eyes directly. It gives you a feeling of emptiness but not in the same way as yula's work - it doesn't feel as if there's something missing but instead when staring into the depth of the character, you feel her emotion and even thoughts are empty.
