Hocus pocus.

On the distant planet Pocus,with a very dense light-proof atmosphere lived small creatures that looked like a mixture of snails and beetles who called themselves Pocus.

The Pocuses loved to watch magic tricks and guess their secrets, and also, they dreamed of seeing a light that they had never seen in their lives yet they loved meatballs.

Pokus had a strict hierarchy the most significant were the most intelligent and the weakest most stupid and smallest was the leader because he can't be trusted with anything.

The Pokus were a cheerful people who had only one joy eating meatballs, because they had never seen tricks and conjurers and their passion for guessing the secrets of tricks suffered greatly.

But one day a mental signal rushed across the planet that a great magician had appeared in the spiral forest who performed amazing tricks of disappearance.

All pokus as one decided to unravel this mystery and went into the forest.

The leader of the pokus was the last in line and watched as the prickly doors of the magician opened, a magnificent blue light began to flow from the inside, and another one who wanted to know the secret of the trick-disappearance disappeared in a misty haze between the doors of the magician's flower.

When it was the turn of the leader, because all the inhabitants of the planet pocus had already gone to unravel the secret of the trick he stopped looked at the beautiful light emitter and thought - I'm the most stupid what's the point of wasting time on something that I can't unravel I'd better go home, there are meatballs.

This drawing and story is based on a digital image provided by @xpilar for this competition.

So, the task was not very easy, at first, I thought to draw something with a pencil, but another idea came up and I decided to draw with a photo editor, over the original image.

I decided to depict a plant that looks like a flycatcher, which is waiting for its next victim.

As already mentioned in the story, the victim was to be a bug that looked like a snail.

I revived the forest a little and it remains to work with light sources, that's it, the picture is ready.

I want to invite my friends to participate in the competition: @kaminchan, @bengy, @tonyz.

Happy Christmas!
