I absolutely love the original and this is a great new take! This seems like an odd thing to fixate on, but I love the pattern of the wallpaper - it's such a small detail that adds so much.
i like how you uploaded this on david bowie'd birthday... with a david bowie album. and then he goes ahead and announces that he's giving out a new album. are you psychic or something? xD but yes, critique... the old picture showed very many items, with a lot of detail, yet most of the items were too small for it to be possible to see said details. this picture, however, is clearer, so that much more of the details can be appreciated. the shop in this version also looks more messy and crammed, whereas that other version, although it had many items, looked a tad too neat and arranged. you also do a better job focusing on and drawing the attention to the guy in this picture. in the other one, he kind of just drowned in all the details. okay, i can't be bothered to give more thought-through comments. it's awesome. oh, and KNIIIIIIVES!
You know that "Draw It Again" meme? This. This is what I always hope to see - a complete redux that still keeps the original feel, but shows better abilities in more than just technical skills. (Like, layout and such.) Does that make any sense?
I was just looking at the old one and wishing I hung out in a place like that!
