Dead Soul Rats

request a Redwall series based picture with Shadow (from the book Redwall) and Stonefleck (from the sequel Mattimeo), based on how they look in the TV series. This was quite interesting as the two rats are quite similar in personality (in that they have none, haha!).

I wanted this painting to be slightly abstract and have the look of traditional media, so I used ArtRage for most of it then exporting to Photoshop and used some custom brushes (for example those are bat wing bones around Stoneflecks legs and other bones at the bottom of Shadow's cape) and general final render and colour adjustments.
