Skeletons alive

Rummaging through drawings to get them scanned I came across this piece which I'd drawn almost three years ago and for no reason other than to test the new Rendr paper for watercolour wash.
The paper I'd decided was fantastic for fine liners and ink but missed the mark when it came to watercolours because it absorbed the water far too quick for me to be able to work with it making the area patchy.
Moreover it somehow subdued the watercolours muting them all to a rather greyish tone and I had to revive the colours with another layer of watercolour pencils.
Nevertheless I persevered and ended up with this weirdness.
The mandala was solely done for the purpose of testing fine liners and the Phoenix for watercolours .
