Note: NOT drawn by me...however, I did spend a few hours bringing some color to it! This is a sketch of Basil and Olivia by ~CatusSnake. I have received permission from the artist to color and submit it here at dA. The original can be found HERE.

Colored in CorelDRAW Photo Paint 8. The characters were colored with dark tones for the low-lit area. No, Basil, does not have Jaundice! The sclera of his eyes are a light shade of yellow from the darkness illuminating them, an idea taken from the scenes of him on top of Big Ben in the film. The pupils were given a shade of emerald and Olivia was given a dark brown color.

The background is of a standard sidewalk curb colored and then maximized by the hundreds in width and height to fit their 'mouse' size, having the ground several inches from view. I left the artist's name in the lower left-hand corner visible.

I didn't convert the image from color to b&w, therefore, some of the pink and purple lines can be seen in small crevices. The original had many drawing lines to consider, how big or how little I should make them, but I opt for going with the standard lines instead. A beautiful sketch, nonetheless, and definitely worth my time to sit and color with.
