Description Plucked right out of an episode of Fraggle Rock, here's Red and Boober in "Marooned".
I think I'm getting better at this "putting in backgrounds" stuff.
This particular version of Marooned comes out of Chapter 18 of my fanfiction(which is ALSO titled Marooned), where Red and Boober find themselves trapped in a very small space after the mine they were in caves in over them.
I really really like how this turned out, especialy considering this was myfirst attempt at making rocks. (Thank God for Photoshop tutorials)
And this is Red and Boober's first time in color, so that's a major plus as well.
This was only my second time drawing Red, sadly. She's one of my more neglected characters.
It took me a while to come up with a shade of Red that worked well with Boober's skin tone. It was a challenge, seeing as I'd already established that shade of gray for Jigen, and Boober is his identical twin, and therefore I could not change it.
It was a lot of fun, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

The characters really look alive-in a cartoony way, colours came out quite good.

On the other hand, rocks seem a bit flat to me (though it's ok if it was your first attempt). I'd try experimenting with shading effects by adjusting the opacity in the brushes and textures in scenery if I were you.

Yes, I see what you mean. I saw it right when I finished, but I didn't feel like messing with it anymore.
It probably would've come out better if I spent another half a day or something on it, but oh well.
Not bad for my first try.
Thanks for the critique. Really appreciate it.
