January, where did you go?

So I've been working on this Christmas present for an awesome friend of mine for a couple of months now. January is here, so uh, the first part of my present is kind of useless. So I figured there'd be no harm in sharing it online.



I suppose I should really have set little mini-deadlines for myself, but sometimes, art just doesn't work that way. In this case, it's because the numbering of months is really tedious. *sigh* oh well. back to work.

Rule: Get all the tedious parts of a project out of the way first, when you're super excited about, then the fun stuff might keep you motivated enough to keep up the pace.
