nocturnal concerto - maria

I think it's safe to say Photoshop was choking to death by the time I started flattening things. 136 MBs, 30+ layers, probably a collective 18 hours or so, but I'm sure some of that was me just staring at Photoshop and thinking of how I should finish this.

I have another version of this with warmer colours, but I dunno ... the blue-ish hues seem to suit Castlevania better, after all the candles generally tend to burn blue.

I guess this would be the Chapel with the arches and stained glass.

I've been trying to finish a piece with Maria in it for about three or four years and never have.
