Happy snake year!
Just in time. Jubei's back, Ike got his reward, and I'm challenged to draw the string bean again. She didn't come out half bad considering how this originally looked. I could do more like I want to. But I think Ike said good is good enough, and perfectionism is a waste of time. I can come back to this years down the line and try this same image again. Maybe with new noodles or updated old ones, I'm happy with them regardless. Happy New Year everyone.
