MY COMMENT

Finally, I’m happy that I’ve finished the giant Christmas group pic I’ve promised! I know that it’s a little late (3 months? Is that what you call “a little” Amine?!?). But I think that there was no need to post this art exactly at the period of Christmas: indeed, the main interesting subject represented here is more “Yoohoo! Let’s have fun pals!” than “Merry Christmas everyone!”. At least I’ve made it just before the end of Winter! For the first time, I don’t feel really sad of my late, what is a good thing ^^ This is the biggest art I’ve ever made, but I don’t think I’d be able to make this kind of work everyday

This group pic contains 63 different characters. Most of the featured characters are my friends from Deviant Art, but there are also some pals from Sonic-Online.net, some fans that sent me some nice fan arts by mail, some friends I knew on other circumstances, some friends of my friends, some friends that are in my comic course, and some characters that exists only in cartoons or video games. This art is a tribute to everyone that supported me during five years by enjoying my arts, sending me fan arts, and making me happy. I wanted to show them that I’m grateful to their kindness. Now I hope that I haven’t forgotten one or two friends to draw o.o

Enjoy ^^
