Black and white worked into

I originally was just going to work into this image with grayscale tones but as i worked into it more and more i felt it needed colour so i only used colour for the detail work and i am very happy with the outcome.

I still want to do a black and white only piece but i felt this image needed colour to make it work.

I again experimented with different brushes forcing me to find new techniques and i am very happy with how the outline has worked although not neat i think it still works.
