This was an inktober challenge in 2018. I wanted to experiment with glows, so i made something that has some bright colors to mess around with.
Basic sketch of what i wanted
Worked out the basic sketch into something solid with details
Added base colors of what I wanted, with brighter color details giving contrast against the dark skin/fur
Added a dark background, added lighter coloring and changed the yellow to green vines
added shadow and glow.
