Ah, this is a bit of a cheat, but I figured I'd show off where I'm doing all this. Off to the right there is something I'm working on at the moment, a low-angle view of a sunset tidepool - fun grays and midtones all over, heavy on the warm colors - I still have to push back the top left, cool it down, finesse a couple highlights and etc... though honestly at this point I'm afraid of going too far and overworking it. It's at that 'step back for five minutes, add one brushstroke' phase.
