This is a really difficult thing to do so well done. There is something I still don't like about the picture, i think its the finish so don't get a boner yet. The drip on the furthest right sprawling character really gets in the way, my eye is always drawn to it, i think maybe you could have painted this out and a stronger sense of space would have emerged because of that. Conversely the use of difuse wet on wet drips in place of the blue on the far left maybe could have lightened the all-over materiality of the paint which can get a bit oppressive if you look at the painting for too long, making it feel a little sickly. Good though, keep on going.
