Ooh. Cute. :3

Thank you for the comment and I am deeply sorry for the belated response. While I was in Tokyo on business, I was so busy that I could not find a time to write to you on time. I seldom draw a replica and a secondary creation of the characters that were created later than 1985 with copyright. I was asked to draw a character based on Krystal in the Star Fox at this time, I had to admit that I have already gotten too old to grasp the conception of the video game characters.

Wooo, that looks like fun! x3

Yes, it is a great fun to enjoy hot springs in Japan. They are usually quiet well enough to make us relaxed not only physically but also mentally. There are not so many but some hot springs allow us to enjoy taking a bath over Japanese rice wine which is called "sake" in Japanese:

Thank you very much both for the comment and the fav., and I am humbly sorry for the belated response.

weee!! *splash* :3

Yeah, that is what I would like to do, if it were allowed there. Interesting to say, many hot springs and public baths do not allow tattooed persons to entre recently in Japan. Thank you very much for the comment and the fav. I am very sorry for the belated response.

Good one.

Thank you very much for the comment and the fav. This will be my last artwork to draw the video game character.
In my last visit to Japan, I enjoyed taking a bath in a hot spring which is located in the suburb of Tokyo.

hehe you did a very nice job on the whole scene, probably one of your largest yet made.

Though I wanted to keep 900 X 720 of resolution, those three characters called for a larger size. I found it a bit difficult to colour it with the colouring software because the large file does not allow me to see the whole picture while colouring it. Thank you for the comment and I am deeply sorry for my slow response. I returned to Korea yesterday.

Ha ha ha, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^

In Japan, there are various sorts of hot springs. Some contains a sulfide, and tastes very sour. Some contains a chloride, and tastes tangy and salty. In the Tokyo area, many hot springs look brown because of the sediments of the ancient plants. Thank you for the comment and I am sorry for the belated response. As I came back to Korea yesterday, I will catch up with my drawing works soon.

No prob' my friend, I am happy you travel so much and see so many things ^^ ^^

Aqui hay innumerables detalles!Fantastico dibujo.Como siempre tus colores geniales!En general un tremendo pic!

Es maravilloso que el photoshop contiene números de funciones que nos permiten a hacer las texturas de bosque, de reño, del vapor y del aqua. Me necesita de estudiar más cómo colorar las herbas. Muchas gracias por su comentario y el fav., y con mucho perdón por la respuesta atrasada. Era muy ocupado meintras que yo estuve en Tokio.

Aww, how fun and cute. I still can't believe you drew all this with a mouse

It is one of the pleasures to enjoy an open-air hot spring in Japan. Those open-air baths are usually located in a remote place, and we can also enjoy the nature there. If you had a chance to visit Japan to enjoy hot springs, I would like to recommend you to do so in Winter. You can enjoy the snow, too:

Yes, I drew this piece with a computer mouse. It is always a big toil. Thank you very much both for the comment and the fav., and I am sorry for the belated response.

Oh wow, that is soooo beautiful I love snow, winter's my favourite season, probably because coming from a tropical country I only enjoy it on Holidays to cold places. I would love to visit Japan, I want to go for a winter holiday in Hokkaido

It's ok, I understnad you were either busy or away in Korea so you couldn't respond

Snow looks something mystic to the eyes of those who live in the tropical area. It is a good idea to go to the Hokkaido Island in Winter. Sapporo is one of the most beautiful cities in Japan. As I grew up in the cold area, I adore palm trees, cactus, tropical fruits, and coral lagoon.

Yes, the first time I saw snow, which was on a ski holiday in china earlier this year, it was to me the most beautiful sight that I had ever gazed upon. A white landscape, surrounded by frosted trees with snowflakes, gently floating down like thousands upon thousands of tiny feathers gently drifting down from the mountain high above. It was absolutely beautiful, and I was just filled with joy and happiness. It was a sight I had seen so often in books, movies, and TV shows, but for the first time I saw it with my own eyes, even caught snowflakes with my tongue.

So yes, snow is something extremely mystical to us who live in tropical areas. Ooooh, I've heard how nice Sapporo is, and I hear the Japanese Alps are very beautiful.

Well, since you grew up in a cold climete that's normal. To you, the sight of palm trees, tropical fruits and beaches is something not normal, so you're utterly mystified by it. So the reverse is true for me, then.

I can catch your feeling to see the snow with your own eyes for the first time. The Japanese Alps are consisted of three mountain ranges. They are certainly beautiful and abundant in alpine plants. I would like to recommend you to visit Kiso Fukushima which would show you the sight of city in the mountain area. I visited the Japanese Alps many years ago, and it was very impressive to see mountain butterflies flying over the alpine plants.

Oh, that sounds so beautiful, and thank you for the recommendation ^_^

Been to public baths in South Korea. Was quite enjoyable :)

Oh, you have visited South Korea and taken the public baths, haven't you? I am afraid that those public baths were quite noisy. If you had a chance to visit South Korea again, I would like to willingly play a part of interpreter of Korean - English to show you around here. Thank you for the comment and I am deeply sorry for my belated response.

Nice job on the pic.

Thank you for the comment and I am very sorry for my slow response. This piece called for soooooo many layers to make the textures of lumbers and water.

This is a fine piece of work, I also love that steam!

Recently I found so many useful functions in the photoshop. That steam was effective well enough to tell hot spring from a swimming pool. I think it would be possible to draw a more fine artwork, if I learned how to use more of the effects in this colouring software. Thank you very much both for the comment and the fav., and I am deeply sorry for my belated response.

Nice time for a good swing.

Yes, always a great fun it is to enjoy hot springs in Japan. If we could enjoy delicious Japanese cuisines over "Sake" after taking a bath, it would add a more of pleasure. Thank you for the comment and I am sorry for my slow response.

Not to worry about that. Things happen. Yes, it would make for an even better time with some food and drink to share with each other.

Right. Some of the Japanese cuisines which I enjoyed in my last stay were:

Oh, all of them looking very nice and well cook. Glad you enjoy them.

He must be quite limber. It is prohibited although, I would like to plunge into a hot spring in Japan. *splash*

Oh! genial dibujo, a caso en su parte de nuestro trato ¿nado en esa picsina?

Gracias por su comentario. Lo siento que mi abilidad baja de castillano no me puede entendir su palabra, "picsina."
Con mucho perdón por su inconveniente pero vale informe que ella se signifique.

picsina: pozo lleno de agua donde se puede bañar y nadar en ella...

Gracias por su explicación. Ahora lo comprendo bien. A caso de la parte de nuestro trato, pienso dibujar su furosna nadando en una laguna de coral en una zona tropical.
