Time for a 'new' one

I was particularly interested in achieving a mysterious atmosphere on this one.
I quite liked the two characters since the beginning and had fun with the study of their hands.
Once the illustration was 'finished' I played a bit with the color saturation and contrast (wonders of the digital age!) until I got the desired effect.

Dos dibuixos mes (or 'two more drawings'!)

Two more pieces from 2003/4.
The Sci-Fi one was just a personal one, I hadn't been using 'painter' long by then and that was part of my 'gotta get to know this tool' period.
The other is a character design I did for an animation series idea of my own. I'll just say it's been in a drawer ever since!
