"While the fireworks outside went off and everyone celebrated with the end of the countdown, there's someone sneakily flipping the calendar right on time..."

First coloured appearance of Smol'Zelf. He seems contented to sneak around with his Smol' form rather than the lumbering feral form XD

Done slightly under 2 hours, simple and straightfoward, yet meaningful. The shadows with the phototaking were intended, giving the effect and atmosphere. This wasn't my initial plan, but it made the theme much livelier. I also used this piece as an opportunity to confirm his body colour design, getting ready to update his reference sheet after finishing another art piece in the near future. There were some minor mistakes in this piece, but overall still happy for how it turned out :D
