Bell and Eyre

My livestream warm-up yesterday. I decided to draw Bell with Eyre behind him. Its pronounced "Air" by the way. Its a LONG story (as the people in the stream found out). I may make a journal with it if there is enough interest about him. I love how the background turned out, somehow I made it look almost water colored. At least, that's my impression.

As a side note, WHY DOES BELL SET THE STANDARD FOR ME?! The last time I drew Bell just randomly with no thought to the end product, that drawing set the standard for proportions, colored pencils, and pose. Now this, its setting the background, color, and shading. WHAT?! BELL IS MAGIC OR SOMETHING!
