Cirque de Q - The Cirque's Illusions

Some original work today.
These two are part of the Ringmaster Illusion's set of illusions, the left: Porcelain Puppet, and the right: Demented Shadow.

I am not sure if I will keep their designs like this but any alterations will be very tiny so this will do for now

About the process: I originally started this piece in October, right before Inktober and at the time I really liked the idea of the two illusions waltzing around (because that's what I imagined them doing in the battle missions) and the idea of the Shadow manipulating the Puppet's strings. However, I put the work off until the start of December before colouring and by then I had lost a lot of motivation for the piece, and for most of the month started hating it. I can say that by the end, I rather like it. It's not the best execution, but I am happy with the result.
