Here we go.
Whenever I'm getting stuck adding color, the thing that needs fixing is almost never the color itself. The answer lies a step backwards in the values. Pushing the background into darkness brought out new opportunities to bring in a more powerful mood. Now this piece makes sense to me. Now I can see its final form.
Ultimately, this thing needs to get brighter. Doing a dark painting digitally is super dangerous. Chances are, the image I'm seeing is not what you are seeing. I simply don't have the luxury of knowing that a bright room and a clear view of it can reveal the depth in darker parts of the image. I need to consider the variability of the screen you are using to view it and I need to consider my own future challenges with printing it.
