No worries about the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. The wait was worth waking up to for Christmas today! And what a present! Thank you!

Very good pose idea getting him sitting on that log. Wonderful job with his ninja sandals. Like how you kept his black paw-print tattoo intact. Loving his expression! It's got that cheeky smug/smirk mixed in with a daring attitude. I especially like that Japan-flag headband you drew on his forehead. Bonus points for the bomb; was not expecting that at all, but it really works! It just adds to his badass nature.

Interesting work throwing in your own twist on his hairstyle while still maintaining its overall anime look. Sorry to bring this up, but at the same time, it's coloured in an entirely different colour as opposed to his main dark red colour; Leo's not a blonde, but that's okay. Also it looks as though his tail is missing, but I guess he was drawn in such a pose that it must be behind him entirely. And I think you might've had the picture inverted at some point because the "力" symbol on his shirt is in reverse. lol

Still, it's the thought that counts, and I'm very grateful you took time to draw me a request, ! Thank you very kindly, and may you have a merry Christmas, too!
