I had gotten to this point on the image when the commissioner and I had a private argument.

I removed myself from the situation (he was -very- pissed off at me for walking away) but he had done a down-payment and this was equivalent to what he had sent me.

I was going to try a similar method as to Sketch (Faint) in paining, so the flats are -much- darker than they would have been on the final image.
