Nearly getting there! I've shown this picture to a few and many said that the characters are dieing, I guess I need to put some more characters in order to make everything a slightly busier.

Bypassing the sketching stage, here is the first stage of my coloring part. I always found it's very tricky when it comes to coloring, especially with a background. One of my inspiration told me that I should really try glazing before doing full-color version. That'd be my next goal!
