I think your third thumbnail in the set below is rather striking.

My question to you would be, why is the light coming from the water?

For the third one I was pointing out, you could have these rays of light from the rafters cast down on his face and body to give him an eerie feel.

The rafter light would be a blue light from the moon, and the candle light in the scene would be a nice warm glow that would make him really pop out from the background. The interior of the bath house would be very warm so he'd be this blue figure against orange and draw the attention of the piece.

hey thanks a lot ! The light coming from the water was to make the scene look kind of more ''magical'' Also i tought if the light came from below it would look more creepy.

I like your idea of the light coming through the rafters...

And now i really dont know wich to choose :P the 2nd or 3rd one :P

here is a wip on the color
