I redo this piece every year. last year, I didn't actually finish it to full shade, but left it as a gradient flat colour. >.< I intended to finish it, but just had too much to do that took precedent over gift art.

Heres the gradient overlay for the refined sketch. I was intending for this to be a fully gradient shaded lineless piece, but I didn't have the time to finish it up. 2012 will stay a gradient, and will be a fully gradient in this coming year. No detail work has been done, all flat colour gradient.

Its ok, im disappoint too...
