Mysterious Magician

The detail in this story fragment is just astounding! When you think about the amount of care and patience it takes to create a 500x500 drawing, I can't believe to imagine how long it would have taken you to complete this. I like that the trees and stars in the background and subtle and not distracting from the magician, but if I look closely I can still see them.

The animation is also done very well and there's nothing fake or choppy about the way the steam is rising/the magician stirring his concoction in the cauldron. The colours add the to 'fairytale' feeling and I love the purple undertones <3
