Roddy and Rita look very anxious as they sit with the menacing bandits. Each bandit holds a menacing-looking knife, while Roddy and Rita look strangely calm. The bandits' faces are grim and their expressions imply that they are not happy with Roddy and Rita's presence. The background is dark and gloomy, adding to the tense mood. To emphasize the menacing atmosphere, I would use darker shades of brown for the bandits, as well as shadows to create shadows around them. Roddy and Rita could be coloured in lighter, softer hues to make them stand out from the bandits. The background could be filled with shades of grey and dark blues, in order to further emphasize the feeling of danger. By adding some lighter details, such as soft oranges or yellows, around the couples figures, we can create a contrast which will make them stand out from the surrounding darkness.
