I did this at first with the sole intent of practicing line of action, hence designing both characters specifically with their poses here in mind. They do not have names as of yet and while I like to make up names on the spot I can't think of any at the moment.

Anyway, after I'd drawn them I was like "yo how about I do a background tho" and spent more time on it than I care to admit.

There were two inspirations that gave me the idea for this specific background, which were looking at the backgrounds from Rayman Origins and listening to the Kung Fu Panda 2 OST.
