Mina Aleris Group Application Part 2

I don't usually draw simple-life fantasy types so I found this to be a challenge. I never use soft colors and I've certainly never done a computer painting of food before.
Considering my lack of experience with this style I think it all came out pretty good.
So as you can see, this is a redone group application for here is the original: [link]
