guess it shows off that the initial image was done as perspective group drawing with applied depth through coloring Tijo brighter and making the piano guy darker because of the overall shading style
where there is a lot of space to improve is actual weight, flow and proportion which is imo solved really well in the original art
roughed it out myself with the size you used.
Yeah, I didn't realize Evan was a regularly colored zora (he's actually blue in the game) because of that artwork.
Also I have this very bad/stupid tendency to mess up with perspectives because my brain goes all "2D GAME SPRITE MODE ENGAGED" and remove all perspective so the characters can stand on a flat plane. Oh well.
Love your edit, it makes blue backlights a lot easier to add. I should try to make some outlineless art some day. And the pose is a LOT better... ugh. Stop making me want to remake it all.
Finally done with the Indigo-gos, I'll fix Mikau's big head tomorrow but now, sleep, it's 3am.
