The Long-Belated Kuri ArtTrade

First off, I'm really, really, really sorry that this took so long! (for those who wonder out of morbid curiosity exactly how long this took, let's just say that I went through two or three different versions of the pic, and by the end I was considering putting in snow to fit with the season.)

Second... if I ever draw Miroku again, I'm drawing him with PANTS! Because that robey thing is a royal pain to shade!

Third: This pic is quite shamelessly based off of a Love Hina pic. Except in that, Keitaro was wearing shorts, which would've been much easier to shade. *twitch*

Fourth: The kanji up there means "love" and "laughter", which I thought was kinda sweet. Also, it's kinda nice to know what the kanji says, as I've never bothered to check with my other pics.

Fifth: Laugh at my crappy fireflies! Laugh!!

Sixth: Er... not much to say here. 'Cept I was extremely tempted to put a little thougth bubble coming out of Miroku's head. But that would've ruined the mood.

Seventh: (I'm stopping here since 7 is a lucky number!) I hope you like this, Kuri! Ta-daah!
