So, a buddy of mine asked his 4-year-old boy what he wanted for Christmas. His imaginative son said, "I want a hippo and skeleton shooting eachother in the dark." He chuckled and then asked me what I could do with it. I had some fun. I partially followed a tutorial by one of my favorite artists Kevin Keele. Here's the link: http://www.beawesome.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-alive-digital-painting-tutorial.html. I decided to show a couple stages of the piece, in case you wanted to see. I also included a potential composition that got shot down (ha ha) but I thought it could have been fun. 17.5 hours Photoshop
