If nothing else, the first one was a learning experience. Much of what I did here will remain the same for the next proof. I probably won't need to darken the negative space in the left panel, since the Okawara paper is already that dark. I may push the colors a little more in some of the tattoo designs on that side, however. On the right, I'll keep the same colors for the dragon, but just make them much lighter. The large flowers will probably at least start all the same orange-yellow color seen in the largest one, and the water and bubble colors will also be applied lighter. All easy changes, since I can always go over them and make them darker if I need to.
More radical possibilities- Right now two significant colors are unbalanced between the two panels. Much more blue/indigo on the left, much more green on the right. One way to resolve that is to change the color of something big, such as make the dragon blue (not uncommon in dragon tattoos) or make the customer's pants green. Then there's the table. Logically it should be the same color all the way across, but would it be too strange if it was different shades or colors in the two panels if it would help with color and value balance? I'll give these ideas some thought, and maybe I'll play with some of these ideas on this first proof over the next few days.
