Photoshop and drawingtablet

This picture is for the FireFeathers Secret Santa project of 2008. This year I got to be darkdragon567's Secret Santa. This is his dragon-like character Kiyoshi. Darkdragon567 had a rather specific request, which I wasn't able to fulfill completely. He has asked for a drawing of Kiyoshi as a hatchling, sheltering from the cold under a blossoming plum tree, while drinking hot coco with a candy cane in the cup. Well, I did some research and found out that the plum tree does not blossom in the winter, but in the spring. So instead I drew him taking shelter in his home, which is a burrow dug out underneath a plum tree. The blossoming plum tree is still present somewhere in this picture, though. So I hope that'll make it ok again. And, even though I tried, I don't think I managed to make Kiyoshi look like a hatchling either. Oh well, hopefully I got the colors right.

Also, on an unrelated note, It was snowing really really hard outside, when I drew this. And it usually doesn't snow this hard in Holland at all. How's that for a funny coincidence? So, merry early Christmas! :)
