Finished off the colours on Ahsoka! I think things have ended up looking pretty decent here, though some of the colours differ slightly in the scanned image. I started adding the base shades to Ahsoka, including the apricot shade for her skin tone, a lavender on her leggings, and some light green on her boots. I then added the blue to her lekku and montrals, before applying some purple and dark grey to her main armour. I had to layer up the greys on the armour to get the colour to be similar to the design seen in the show, but I think it matches decently enough, so I'm happy with the results here. I added the various greys across her clothes, and that also muted the colours on her leggings and boots. One of the trickier parts of the picture was adding the colours to the lightsabers because obviously they're white blades emanating colourless light, but I think the extremely pale blue I added to the centre of the blade and the outer edge of the emanating energy works decently enough at recreating that effect. After that, I finished the colours on her skirt armour, and then added the various shadows across her outfit.

For planets in the background, I used a number of different shades to suggest different atmospheres and landmasses, as well as leaving a few white spaces on some of them to imply some clouds. On the Fulcrum symbol in the background, I added a light blue, though it was a different shade to the other blues I used on the vacuum of Space. With the blues in place, I went over the whole background with a dark grey, overlapping it on some places to add a little more depth and variety to the background. I probably should have added another pass with the grey to make it look more like the darkness of Space, but it's fine I guess. It's also the background that seems to have been most affected by the scan, in that the blues blend better with the greys in the IRL version, and that the darker sections of grey are less stark in their contrast with the lighter sections. Once the dark grey was dry, I used a white gel pen to add stars across the whole picture, and they're a bit faint in the scan, but it adds to the effect.

So yeah, I think that this is largely a success, though I wish that the scanned picture better reflected the piece that I'd worked, but I don't think it ruins the image.
