Yes, a third submission of this (the one-hour piece might disappear) to show what a difference a few filters make. Per Taigitsune's request, I reddened up Ikaris's eyes, filled in his ear stripes, and gave him his cheek marking. Two of these were mistakes I should've done right the first time. The third was probably lost by original artist GunMouth in a haze of mumbled curses over all those @!#?@! striped tails.

So yeah, this is what contrast looks like. I still like the old version, but this one's definitely easier to see, and Ikaris is finally visibly lit somewhere besides his pants and hair. Not the most delicate fix ever, but it's a good effect for so very little extra work.
