Squirrel Nutkin! I loooved Beatrix Potter as a child.
I was raised on some of the best literature around, I swear.
Which explains why I enjoy writing, and my love of well-written books.
None of that Twilight tripe for me, thanks. LOL.
This is adorable. <3 I enjoy that it's sort of like Potter's style... only not. Yours is more cuddley-cute and lightly coloured, compared to her duller coloured and sort of.. I don't know, harshly drawn art? Since she tends to use black outlines, whereas you've done this lineless... I know what I'm saying, not sure if I'm getting it across here though. Overall, yours is more soft looking.
Anyways, this is cute and simple, and I enjoy it so.

haha this is adorable. I've seen the original, and I must say your version is way more cuter and the style you gave it is very innocent. although it would have been nicer if you would have worked a bit more on the background.

I know.. XDD Haha.. it is actually a card, like a going-away-present of sorts.. then suddenly they told me the person was leaving already, so I just "Ok, splash some color in the background, 1, 2, 3 strokes and we're done!!" Hahaha.
Thanks for commenting! ^^
