Day of the Dead Character Concept

A couple of years back, I had a dream. In it, I was wearing a red dress, and was dancing in the middle of a Mexican plaza. Around me skeletons were sitting in chairs, sipping on Margaritas as they watched me. Since then, I've always wanted to do an illustration of the dream, since it was one of the most vivid and fun ones I had.

This year, I final decided to tackle the idea and came up for a concept of it.
