Hocus Pocus

I really enjoyed colouring this big old toad, it was a fun challenge to transition between the green and yellow and also add the red glow emanating from the stone around his neck. After I'd finished colouring, I went back with a blending marker (0) and removed some of the colour from his "warts", just to make them stand out a little more... after all, what's a magical toad without a few warts?

Appearing From The Shadows

I wanted to make the rat wizard look as though he was appearing from the shadows, lit only by the burning candle and glowing orb. To give that illusion, I added a little of the light green to the underside of the rat, as though it's coming from the orb. Then I added some of the yellow to the tips of his ears and along the top portion of his body as if lit from the candle above. I think the contrast between the black background and the light yellows and greens really gives the scene an eerie feel.
