Hello~

At the beginning of February, I announced a favorite character poll which I closed on Valentines' Day! I also said I'd draw a special illustration of the winner... I was quite surprised with who came out on top! 

The winner of the Favorite Character Poll (also meaning, you, the fans' ultimate favorite character) is Beau!! 

Yayyyy~!! Congrats Beau! He's very lovable and energetic, so I think the illustration I worked on for him is well-deserved. Here's a speedpaint of the entire process of this illustration, from initial sketch to full color!

POP ON OVER TO TWITTER OR TUMBLR TO GET A REALLY NICE VIEW OF THIS ILLUSTRATION!

And thank you to all of you who participated in the poll and submitted some responses! I'm touched by some of your words and comments~ C': Also, the three characters who got top votes for stickers/charms were Momo, Sutoro, and Beau! Some of you also suggested I do a poster-type deal with ALL the characters. Maybe I'll draw one and if you like it enough, I'll make it a print. c': 

Anyway, I'll work on some merch ideas in April to maybe, perhaps, probably celebrate Froot Basket Valentine's one year anniversary! This March I'll be taking part in NaNoRenO, and I'll be releasing a collab project/demo with a friend under Studio Calamari! 

If you wanna see any of what I create or maybe vote on which sketches/drawings get made into prints or other merch, follow me on social media! I do polls most often on Instagram (and maybe I'll start doing more on Twitter too).

Love you all very much!
