Since the Chinese New Year isn't here until Febuary 3rd, I wouldn't necessarily call this submission 'late', lol. As you can see, they're based off of the 2010 (left) and 2011 (right-middle) Chinese zodiac animals. I was learning different styles of shading while I was working on this,so there were many changes along the way!

The original background that I used for this picture looked more futuristic but then as I was about to save it, my free trial of Paint Tool SAI expired (some luck, right?). But this background turned out alright and that incident may have given me enough time to relize that the pen-pressure on my stylis wasn't working, so that's a good thing!

I fixed the pen-pressure, added a little more detail to the characters, and now it's completed!

-- I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! --
