Right off the bat, I have to say I love the roses on her top. The texture makes them look just like a part of her gown and the style and detail of them are fantastic. The gown itself is nicely drawn as well, though the free-floating folds in her skirt look a little awkward. Love the way you did the arms, very accurate to birds' wings, and the feet and head make her into a fine furry. Also, I love the font you used in this picture. Nice work.

Thanks for your comment. You might want to take another look at February 2005 (and maybe January 2005 as well) and see if they've improved or worsened. I didn't like how the first time came out with my hand coloring it, so I redid them digitally, adding in some shadows (which may be a bit too subtle for this shrunken version). March should be reuploaded soon with April not long after.

The font is Sundumgoi Regular, one of a number of fonts on a CD I bought sometime ago.

Would you believe that the flowers are peach-colored because peach and apricot are the colors associated with the Year of the Rooster? She's also a hen because the YotR is a yin (feminine) year. I knew a rooster would be more colorful and seem more logical on the surface, but I wanted to reflect the yin of the year.
