Stellar designs, man!
So I figure we should designate some space for said awesome adverts....I've marked off the areas that I'd like to put the graphic designs into in the scene so that I could work on the detailing of the background while allowing you to work your stuff at the same time.
What do you think?

other notes on changes:
-turned the figure's head down to create more of a focal point, changed her hair. Somehow she turned out looking way more japanese. Personal prefs i guess :P
-slimmed down the arms
- touchups on the bartender
-changed pose on bg guy ordering drink
- tightened up BG and changed perspective lines
- started rendering in the gas pumps

to do:
really spend a LOT of time on the splashing liquid. Have refs for this and it's the major focal element, so it needs to be spot on.
-hone in on the bg. Don't have a *really* clear idea yet of where I want it to go, so it's slower work. I like the current general shape.
- Work on finding a textures/patterns/objects for the foreground countertop. It's in focus so it should have some kind of interesting texture/color.
- Finishing on the bg figures/wires coming out of her back. It will probably be just some shadowy wire-y elements that just serve to de-focus that area and add some symmetry with the wires on the right side of the bar.


I'm pretty happy with the new figure shape and how it fits in with the pic

thanks for marking off the areas you want me to focus on -- that'll help give me some parameters to work with. ...btw, is that room for a tramp stamp i spot?

some excellent improvements mel! can't say i have a problem with the girl turning japanese, and the refinement of the rest of the figures continues to impress. her left side is also starting to get some thematic weight: the cable area's working well to draw the eye further into the piece.
