illustration friday : year of the rooster

year of the rooster (53K)

Here's my first submission for Illustration Friday.
I'm a bit late, but I hope I'm still on time :P.
The theme was: Year of the Rooster, related to the Chinese New Years Day.

very nice...I love the colors and textures...

Very very cool. What medium(s) did you use? And how did you achieve that well-loved record album cover scratched-up texture?

I like... your illustration-style. It's incredibly awesome. How do you create this?

this is lovely, I like the subtle colors and the lines. Nice to see white on blace rather than black on white.

Awesome feel to this. What medium(s) did you use (I see a couple of other people are just as curious)? Elle http://stuckinanutshell.blogspot.com

Why did you crop the feet off? This is very interesting...is it silk screened?

thank you all :). i drawn this piece all in photoshop with a wacom tablet. the dust textures were made with some photoshop brushes i've got from internet. why i crop the feet off? i don't know... this was made in one-shot, so what i draw is what you get ;)
