well, its a new year and i wish u all good fortune in your efforts to accomplish your resolutions. as always i dove head first into my new year by setting aside the time to do some photoshopped art to represent me in 05. of the choice this was happiest and i think this is best. even tho Shelly is far away from me and it dosnt feel like she wants to be a pair so much as apart, i think we will always be great together... i think the coloring came out almost as good as the 04 logo, but i didnt obey my own guidlines of light and dark highlight and i experimented a bit more. apart from the shading, i think the drawing is a bit better of an idea, tho i wasnt nearly as complex to put together as last years. all in all, i think it just bearly makes it past last years as an improvement without falling behind in any area. which is good enough for me.
