Happy New Year 2005

My first ever New Years pic! Took me about 4 hours longer than expected due to my 'fantastic new way' of darkening the lines not using a paint bucket! It turned out I didn't increase the contrast enough which left me with grey lines. *shakes an angry fist at the line tool for taking so long*

I decided to put friends in a group pic for once, what better way to bring in the new year than being surrounded by friends I included the 5 people that have made this year so memorable for me both inside DA and outside.

For letting me be involved with CORE, and for being the first person to make me realize my art was an inspiration to other artists ^^
Because I beleive our art is one in the same. Bonn you made me feel so welcome, appreciated and loved ^__^
A longtime friend who did not forget me in my absence on the net, and makes me laugh hysterically at times XD
Also made me feel my art was an inspiration, gave me many presents, and made me feel loved too ^^
Another longtime friend and supporter, who looks after me emotionally and is always there to pick me up ^o^

To everyone else, Happy New Year! You're loved by me in my own special way Look out world, Gen is back and kickin' in 2005!
