I happened to be listening to the song "Serenade of the Hearth" when I clicked on this. I think it fits pretty nicely (although it changes the mood a bit).
Mostly fits the original, as this one needs a more jazzy theme.

I would love to get a print of this, frame it, and put it up on a wall (as soon as I can get a wall to put it up on.)

That woman in red next to Ricardo really reminds me of Mai Shiranui.
Was it intentional or just a random drawing?

ok alex, now you are real legend in my book!
I adore hoppers nighthawks since my teens. even had the chance to see the painting in its full glory and was in awe how great and big it was. for one of my art classes as a kido we had to redo a painting we liked and i chose this right away. put it into the future with enormes skyscrappers and flying cars ... one year later i saw the first poster for The 5th Element and it was so similar ... kinda scarry and sad that one was too young to make something out of the drawing beffor the movie was made.
ok, enough talk about me hehehe ... so yeah, this just hits the spot and i am amazed about the skullgirl production. sad that the contact has drifted away, but i guess we both have tons to do. i for my case am in the mid of my grafik BA und making an animated trailer to my PARANOID ROCK N ROLL comic which i plan di reboot as an online comic. heres the tumblr link to it all (gonna upload a new cut the next days) [link]
all the best from germany buddy!

I always liked the Nighthawks' Diner. It's a clever reference. Also works as a great establishing shot too.

I love all of your parodies and references. They add to much charm to the game, and it is a joy to see a new one every time I play.

Nighthawks is one of my favorite paintings ever.
Filia is my favorite SG character's.
When I saw this in her story i lost my shit. I fucking love this game.

I face palmed when I saw this scene.
I appreciate the parody but I was just so tired of the painting it is parodying from my art history classes which ruined a lot of classic pieces by ramming it down my throat and forcing me to write papers on them.
It is, however, well painted. So kudos.

I have to say, catching all the references will probably keep me as busy as the game itself.
