FYJT - Winter Frost, Spring Blooms

-01/14/13-

This is (probably late? hopefully not?) for Sooky's art contest at ... Hopefully it can still be accepted as a late entry, but it's okay if it's too late. X'D;; I really like FYJT, so I really wanted to draw them anyway.

I have figured out I am absolutely TERRIBLE at attempting to speed paint... If you are speed painting, it should not take sooo long to color... (I think the time spent on Feng Ming's face is one of the things that caused that...) Also not used to coloring everything on it's own single layer instead of several layers for everything...

I didn't really have any idea what to do for the contest as I tend to be bad with ideas like that, so I just drew them together...... And threw some peonies in front of them... Actually, the flowers turned out better than I thought they would...

There is still much I am unsatisfied about with this picture and I probably got details wrong with it... I wasn't able to give it the real time and effort it deserved. (mostly due to work taking up a great deal of my time and aforementioned unable to figure out what to draw sooner. OTL)

Might go back to this later after the contest and touch it up further.

Time: Many hours over 4 days or so. >_>
