Description Happy (late) Halloween!  
An inspired title, I know! XD I have started this drawing last week, but unfortunately I didn't find the time to finish it until now. Oh well... better late than never, right?
It turned out a bit weird, I think... I don't know, this paper's texture is maybe not the best for working with colored pencils. And I was constantly fighting with the colors.   But since it's a Halloween-themed drawing, I guess weird is okay.

Black pen, colored pencils, slight touch of Photoshop (for color adjustment).

Dont worry about the title, this art is beautiful and creatively done. I like fantasy drawings because it stimulate my imagination so much , ,Tom

You are not the only one that can't find original titles
The colours are absolutely awesome, how did you succeed to have such beautiful colours with coloured pencils? When I scann drawings with coloured pencils, colours are so awful xD

Usually my scans are a little bit pale compared to the original, so I adjust the contrasts in photoshop until the colors look more or less like in the original drawing.  Now you reminded me, I forgot to add the technique in the description. XD I'll edit it now.

Thank you! You made me google Skulduggery, and I think I'll have to read the book too, it seems interesting.

I love the curly trees and the houses in the background! ^_^ This is certainly a very unique idea for a Halloween picture. The cat's eyes just kinda jump out at you somehow, and his claws are very intimidating.   I wish I could see what happens when the girl finally notices him, unless he's going to disappear when she turns around, of course!

Thank you! He's not the kind of cat who would harm little girls (though he likes to scare people), but I don't think she would be intimidated by him anyway. As I imagined it, he's simply being curious at where she's going and why. But I don't know that either.
