Tried with entirely different technique, I believe I'm getting closer to how I want to use colors and lighting. It has been a very useful, learning experience for me. I really enjoyed doing it.

Most of the time I used one layer and stayed away from fancy effects in photoshop (I always want to force myself to learn how to do it the traditional way so I can do it in oil painting in the future without having problems), there were some points I did some *minor* adjustment and had to use overlay to fix a bit without losing details, but that was used sparingly and was for to tweak color that was possible by "glazing", but the dark details part would be lost... so :P multiply and overlay effect becomes useful for that (too lazy to redo the details lol). Otherwise, it is close to the original coloring I had in beginning. Not bad eh.. enough of rambling.. sorry...

Enjoy this piece! All colors are used for this piece, it's full of meaning. I didn't make it that moody for nothing. Critiques are very welcome!!! I'm still learning!
