Thank you for your comment. I drew Dee because I wanted to draw a squirrel for the calendar, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to define just what the Treetop Artemin tended to wear. As for the background and the shade on Dee, I actually took pictures of a tree in my yard to use as pattern for the image.
Will we see other Winterfur characters in this calendar? That, I fear, would be telling. ;)
It's really neat to see one of the characters in Winterfur come to life, so to speak. She looks much like I pictured her, too. I like the background and the lighting effects on her. It's abstract, yet defined enough to give you a clear idea of where she is. Nice cartoony style, too. Good work.
