Drums... Drums in the deep.
Honestly, I would say that this is one of your very best works yet! Admittedly, the fingers are still a little off, but unless you draw nothing but hands for months on end, I think they have to be one of the most difficult details to get right. Your line work and coloring are fantastic. The ripple effects in Phyrnna's tail and the jellyfish drums are beautiful, and your use of light and shadow are exemplary, giving the entire image a great deal of depth.
As if all that weren't enough, you deigned to add a subtle, yet highly apropos, background to the character art. While I love seeing interesting characters brought to life, I often cannot bring myself to vote 5 simply because there's a complete lack of anything interesting going on besides the character(s) themselves. The combination of elements and how you still manage to draw the eye to Hibiki and Phyrnna, despite the fact that they're on separate sides of the stage, makes this illustration a real winner in my book! Full marks from me. God bless and godspeed to you and yours in the new year.
