And this is my submission for the competition on AM. Now I can finally clear some stuff up ^^

Frist off, I did not mean for Yume to look like a boy! Her... err... err... chest is just not visible because of the camera she's holding. And from the pics I saw, her hair was short TT~TT (unless I have a very bad memory).

The only regret I have is about Blackie and aTo for making them so small (it wasn't intended at all... I only noticed after I drew them TT_TT. And they came out so well in the draft).

The background is just your typical frozen puddles/concrete sidewalk we've been getting in winter in the last couple of years. At least in big cities... And there was no Japanese flag or front of the Interconty because... I have no idea what the place really looks like. Never been to a meeting or right in front of the hotel by that matter Hmm... Now that I think about it, the thought never even crossed my mind. The drawing was initially intended to contain a large christmas tree with chibis sticking out every here and there, hanging on branches and stuff but 1. the paper was too small 2. nobody had big enough scanner for at least an A3 format and 3. I was too broke to afford to scan it somewhere else ^^"

I drew most of the people according to pics they submitted on the forum.

Oh, and Ode-chan came out kind of... like an one-san (the ones in yakuzas) >.< Sorry, Ode-chan *cries* I just wanted to make u look cool. but I'm quite fond of how Aaka came out :]. I really wanna draw more chibis of people on the forum :3 .

Anyway, this drawing was a really fun one to make but also a very stressing one. Lots of pictures to look at and so many characters (would you believe one of my greatest concerns was the color of the clothes? XD Ahahaha... I suck ^^" )

Medium: paper, pencil, ink liner, colored pencils and graphite thick lead ... oh, and eraser :3
