Match: "Hell yes, I found it!"

Maddy: "W-what is that?!"

Match: "The advanced fire magic spellbook that Maha hid from me! Ha ha, I can finally get back to practicing!!"

Maddy: "Uh, don't you think he hid that so, y'know, you wouldn't get hurt?!"

Match: " Oh please, I can handle it!"

And now, the next Drawtober 2022 prompt, Spellbook Apprentice!! Meant to post this yesterday, but once again got delayed because Too Much Video Games. Specifically Breath of the Wild and me trying to finish as many of the shrines as possible before moving on to the actual divine beast bosses, but yeah.

Anyways! Wow, it was a lot of fun getting the fire and lighting effects to look right! I kinda wonder if maybe I should have done a bit more on Maddy as well? Wasn't sure since they're both still in a well-lit library, and she's fairly far away from the fire... so it's like, it could work either way? Ehhh. :u

Also, once more, the back was made using a bookstore brush set made by ileydoesthings! Her store includes both a Procreate version and a Clip Studio Paint version of these brushes, so if you have either of those, feel free to buy and try them out! They were obviously very useful in filling out the background for this pic, ha ha :XD:
