An Audience with the Snail King

Now this was off of a quick sketch i did in my sketchbook. I was being asked to do lots of monsters and demons at the time. I wanted to do something that was more of adventure and magic to take a breath. I was really putting time in getting the colors and the lighting right. You see alot of work out there where the colors just POP! This is m attempt. please let me know what you think :)
