Itachan Barista

I wanted to follow up the Chimneysweep Iggy picture with some other job-like pictures. Feliciano as a Barista (Italian for bartender apparently? Melbournian for coffee machine guy), god of the morning ritual of the morning coffee.

I have a huge, huge love and respect for baristas. I am in love with Espresso style coffee partly because I live in Melbourne and in Melbourne it's a point of pride to be religious about your coffee. You guys who don't "get" this kind of coffee? Who think drip filter coffee is coffee? PFFFff are you missing out. Give me espresso any day. Every day, in fact.

Picwise, two things failed with this... firstly I overthicked the lines compared to the other one and back-fixing it seemed like a stupid thing to do... secondly I tried greenish colours because I never use them, and... just don't look close, OK? :/ I'm not as happy as I could be.
Also with the usual paper tone that I pimp these days, it looked too dark so I tried this halftone thing.
PLEASE TELL ME if you'd prefer to see a paper-textured version, I'm still in two minds about it.
