Chinese New Year 2006

Chuc Mung Nam Moi! Although some people will have no idea what I just wrote.. I don't have accents on my computer to do that.. so.. Happy New Year... again. But its Chinese new year... I think they should say Lunar New Year instead because there's different asian cultures, particularly on the east and southeast side of China, celebrate it. Although it was because of them there is a new year anyway... And I say lunar new year because its a farmer's thing, a majority of the population were farmers and dependent on the phases of the moon to grow crops. And its not like the solar calendar, where it follows the phases of the sun. Well, now that you've learned a little bit, this is my contribution to the new year. Its the year of the dog. Yay! Its suppose to be lucky except those people who are born under the dog sign... it means... basically, bad things will happen more often then good. Ooh... that sucks, and my older sister is just gonna have to be careful, I'll pray for her. Anyway, I used my second anime art style... which is the extremely large large eyes that are unrealistic, but cute. I don't draw this often and its never adults, always kiddie because that's just ...it just looks better that way. Yep...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the pictures in the back are not mine, I don't claim them. I just randomly found them while searching for "bamboo art" on google. And I found a website called art.com.

Drawn by hand, scanned, and used PS 7.0 for coloring.
