HAPPY NEW YEAR DUDES AND DUDETTES!!! :w00t:

Couldn't make it by midnight but I finished colouring.
Hope you all like it, and I wish you a happy new year~ :dance:

Please take this as a New Years card.
If you have a site, feel free to post it in the Gift section or something. :aww:

*What Are They Doing??:*
Mikey and Klunk are snuggling up in a kotatsu. It's a table with underside heating and a cloth over it. Perfect for the cold winters.

Bishop is staring at a top. It's a much larger type of top than regular ones. They are also made of wood.
The way "Koma" are designed, they must be wrapped around the bottom by a medium sized rope. By simultaneously pulling the string and letting go of the Koma with a LOT of force, the Koma will spin.

Raph and Leo were playing a type of badminton played in the New Years in Japan. When you miss, the other person gets to scribble something small onto your face - like x, o, mustaches, etc. (Raph won the last round)

Karuta is what the Foot are playing. The Foot Elite is reading out types of poems(?) on cards. The other players must try to put a hand on the matching card first.
They missed the correct card - this is called an otetsuki.

Casey is doing Mochi Tsuki. The traditional way of making mochi requires beating sweet rice with a wooden hammer inside a wooden... bucket(?) of sorts. ^^;

Kite flying is called Tako Agé. Although it isn't limited to New Years, this is one of the stuff people can do. What (the drunken) Saki is doing was something the ninjas supposedly did.

Fukuwarai is like Pin The Tail On The Donkey, except this game isn't limited to putting one piece onto the picture.

What Don has is the traditional New Years meal called the Osechi. It is like a huge bento full of food that symbolize things for the New Year. Stuff like happiness, beauty, long life, and luck.... Err...
(Don's osechi will probably shorten your lifespan. :paranoid:)

あけましておめでとうございます!
今年もどうもよろしくお願いします。

絵は12時までには間に合わなかったけど、カラーは今終わりました。
年賀状として受け取って下さい。サイトをお持ちしていれば、Giftの方に乗せてもかまいませんので。 :aww:

EDIT: 「ございまチュウ」が「こざいまチュウ」になっとるわ!うわー!新年そうそうはずかしー!! :shakefist:

One Day I went up the stairs;
And I met a man who wasn't there;
He wasn't there again today;
Oh how I wish, I wish he would go away.
