I was asked by to draw something for their artbook! I am so happy and honoured that they asked me! I hope I did not let them down!
The theme of the artbook was Kemonomimi and Art Nouveau! But, okay, why did I choose geese? Of all the animals in the world I picked the most angry annoying animals ever! But I head this idea of the compass rose in my head so I got the idea to make gooses as they leave when winter comes and come back when its spring. The right lady goose (Canadian goose) is looking upward as if she feels winter is coming but her wings are still down because it is still summer. The boy goose (domestic goose) has just gotten home after a long travel. This is something very different from my usual work, I'm trying new things but that also makes me unsure...
A big thanks for Michael Putter who helped me with the compass rose (he added the letters).

Vectorize? Stations? I'm sorry I am a bit a noob with those terms. I am sure I could use Photoshop better but I just ink everything with the hard round brush and then colour everything... with the hard round brush...
