That's a delightful pic

I am in complete agreement with LusoPakak - This is utterly delightful! And so professional-looking, too ^^ I love that only a few select areas have color to them! The texture achieved in the sky is very appealing. And that ink work is awesome, especially on that bag the skunk fellow is carrying : D

I do think that the coldness of the surroundings could have been made even more evident if there was a bit of "white smoke" coming from the skunk's mouth, though - What do you think? It looks like there was the perfect amount of distance between their heads for that. :3

Yes, a bit of breath would've been good: perhaps if I'd mopped up the wash a bit there? It didn't occur to me at the time.

Oohh, true! I bet that would've work just fine. XD There's always next time, right? :3

Such defined simplicity. THAT'S a sign of a true artist. It's always so wonder to look at your work!

I like the way the fuzzy bits are rendered, particularly.

For the black bits, like the boots, tree branches, and Alex's(?) tail and such, is it gouache or ink?

It's brush and ink (a la D. C. Simpson).
