nooo wayyy i totally wanted to do this, but i wouldnt have for another year so im glad someone took over.
the painting is quite nice and while i always complain about stroke path outlines, they actually fit pretty nicely here
my only suggestion is that since the scan's bg looks alot more dynamic, you should have maybe added some yellows or orange to the bg to just make it a bit more interesting. and to replicate the lighting you can use a lighting effects render (its under filters in photoshop) and change the color of the light.
anyway nice job
