This one needs some explanation. The poster of original scan, I am sure of it, filtered out background by using layers with Overlay blending, that's why you could see thick outline around characters. That quite heavily altered and clipped dark areas, and boosted contrast. That's why I decided to lighten characters a bit, original is already damaged anyway. You can actually see more details and even some dust particles now or whatever those are on the dress and legs of Metis. Outline was compeletely removed.
As for the gap, on the dress I had to paint to make it somewhat coherent in the golden armor area, but I am afraid that shadow must have some other shape, which I cannot reproduce without reference.
Please review.
