I'm also thinking a lot about color again, I introduced a character specific color with 'Widow', the 'Pepper red'....with this one Ive got earthy oranges and reds contrasting with cool blues....this palette comes partially from the comic (the blues of the witch costume, swamp, and 'lights out' bedroom), but the lit bedroom is my design....I went with orangey reds to compliment the blue, which works out well b/c its the palette of one of my favorite films, "Devil's Backbone"....also, the last few panels of the comic are set against a stark red background, very dramatic, and I wanted to keep that and still have it make sense, hence the red bed curtains.....I can't wait to see the costumed Su puppet in her blue witch get-up, standing in her bedroom....I expect it to be visually pleasing, exciting to the painter in me....

His costume will probably change, I havent decided. Im not exactly sure what he's supposed to be, the hat looks like a sombrero. He has to have a mask on, which limits possibilities. I'd like him to be dressed as someone sort of noble, b/c itll make the ending a bit ironic. Ive considered a knight, Robin Hood, Batman, Zorro...any ideas?
