Oh, damn. This is just so bloody awesome. XO

So, where shall I start? Hmm, I like the way that there's like no lineart in the pic. Always tried to remove them in my own but never really succeeded ;_; I think the characters could have done with a wee bit more shading (especially on your own wittle ickle seal, shame on you XD) but they look real fine, nonetheless.

Tell me you spent loads on time on the background. TELL ME!!! T____T Because it looks like you did, and I'd be mighty disappointed if you didn't >_>; The details are just fantastic, from the icy flowers in the foreground, the houses, trees, moon, the rabbit (yeah I saw that, do I see a pumpkin too...?), the star-spangled sky, gosh, everything! *__* Well.. I WAS wondering why the lamp has ice on top of it, it's a naked flame for goodness sakes XD (below is okay since hot air travels upwards, but above the flame is a no-no XD) But, geez, who cares about this stuff? Geeks like me I guess XP;

Well, if only this was on DA, I'd have faved it.

....wait, it is!!! *rushes off*

Thank you ^-^ Actually I did have lineart for the drawing, I couldn't do without it. I usually draw with pencil first and scan it, then colour on a separate layer aaand at some point I'd just make the layer with the lines lighter and lighter, and adding more contrast and shadows to the picture, so it's not all just a big blob of colour X3
Oh, and yes, I can assure you I spent loads of time on the background, pretty much as much as I spent on the characters ^^ It was fun though, especially figuring out what the shadows on the moon should look like, or how the icicles on the house should be ^^ Te-heh, you're totally right about the ice on the lamp, I thought about that too, it should be all thawed actually, buuut then I figured it would look more Christmassy and festive with a little ice and snow everywhere, even though it's not really realistic (but it shows you're having pleeeenty thoughts and paying attention when looking at drawings, which is something nice to know, not many do that ^-^ )
