I've been working on this a bit here and there, mostly today. Pretty much all the color has been done, though none of it is final. If you compare this version to the last one, there have been some obvious changes. I both darkened and cooled down the background, swerving from the original reference photo. I'd like to make this more representational but the layers of different lighting colors and strengths would have made that, I think, rather unpleasant in this form. I also warmed up the colors of the foreground characters and I think they have more punch. Still to do; the lights along the sides of the alcove, perhaps some enlarging and cropping and final color balance. Still, it's 95% done.
