Looks really good.

The firespell thing giving off light was something I realized after the fact and was like "Damnit!", but then I was conflicted thinking it could be some evil magical darkness spell that sucks light into it. However, I'm too shit and /beg/ to convey that. I think the reason I keep hatching the entire thing is I want to convey that they are dark colored robes, or at least grey, but it looks way better when things contrast heavily like how you have it. Tomorrow I'll try leaving blank spaces, assuming I remember. I keep forgetting half the shit I want to do when actually drawing it, even if I remind myself right before drawing it. I'll also try the fire giving off light like how you have it.

One thing I'm doing, and I'm not sure if it's adding up to much, is I'm basically looking at the same 3-4 references for 5 minutes before I draw. Then I close the references and try to draw the picture with them in memory, then go back and compare how I remember certain things to how it actually is and note down the differences. At the beginning I wanted an evil wizard person towering over the viewer and pointing down at them grinning maniacally, but it's like a different picture every single time. It's pretty interesting. I also timebox it to 25-30 minutes which puts a bit of pressure on.
