It’s as finished as it’s going to get for the moment. 😊💜

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of rat skeletons dancing at night around a bare-branched tree, with a huge blood moon overhead.
There are five rat skeletons, much larger than real rats, one is howling at the moon, one is leaning against the trunk of the tree, two are upright, and one is on all fours, on bare earth. One more rat tail is disappearing up the trunk of the tree.
The moon is yellow at the base, darkening to red, left of center. Its diameter about 1/3 the height of the entire drawing, covering about 1/5 of the night sky. The sky is dark blue, filled with stars, and a large branch of the tree crosses the face of the moon.
The rat skeletons are beige and white in the moonlight, and there are little skeleton paw prints in the earth around them (I really like skeletons and bones!).
The tree is dark brown, leaning towards the right, up against a large rock, and the background is green rolling hills.
