"Cherry Blossom Kiss"
Also known as "Excuse to Draw Ratchet in Chinaman's Hat".

Yeah, had fun with this one. Not sure what spawned the idea. I wanted to do something with Ratchet actually being a little sweet, and then I got the idea for some mixed-up oriental outfits (they seem Chinese to me...anyone tell me for real if I made up Chinese, Korean, what? Or is it some "Westerner can't tell Eastern cultures apart and so made a hodge-podge pic" mixture?). So, yeah. Then, of course, it's an excuse to fiddle with Sasha's hair. Long hair is nice, but hers is fun to play with for some reason. *pokes another chopstick in it* XD

Not totally digital - Ratchet, Sasha, some of the petals, and the tree were all done in marker (marker tree bark pwns j00! ). But I did so much digital work with the little petals everywhere and the frame and background, I thought it'd be good to put it in digital. I don't have an actual "sakura petal brush" in Photoshop, so I just made do with a watercolor splat one. Took me forever to decide how to do it.
