Merry Christmas and New Year

Description

So I know it's a tad late but I wanted to finally submit a holiday related art and wish everyone a Merry Christmas for 2010 and Happy New Year for 2011 ^^
Having finished uni for the year, I came up with the concept for this drawing while playing the facebook game Mousehunt, their Christmas event had a string of Christmas lights that each lit up when you caught a certain mouse hehe.
I'm not a bit obsessed with that game...

Anyway, I had a fun (if a bit difficult at times) creating and the characters, their clothes, and the poses they're in, it was interesting to try and make their poses fit in with the limitations of the light bulb :meow:. My favourite has to be the blue one ^^

Hard things were trying to make the characters appear as if they are inside the light while colouring - I don't want to just colour over the colours of their skin and outfit with the colour i coloured the light with :/. Also The red/orange character, I have a very limited amount of red coloured markers, it was a challenge to find and make suitable colours for her, I was unhappy with the colour of the light bulb but *shrug* what can I do?

I'm slowly getting there with backgrounds.. ish. I mean this drawing isn't just characters =P I need to improve on character design, I have a hard time with this at some points.

OK enough of my long description. Thanks for looking! And I'm happy to receive any constructive critique on my work :)
