Sorry for taking so much time in finally getting my thoughts together and sitting down to write just how incredibly perfect this present is. I love it!

Every line you draw is art in itself, and part of me would have loved to see how each one comes to life, stroke by stroke. Pure poetry in motion, I say.
My eyes can't stop moving through each line, noticing every curve and swish, feeling the deftness in which you truly breathed life into this piece. Miraculous seems almost too mundane a word to describe the emotion that's imprinted in it.
You distilled the essence of Fox when you drew me. The muzzle and ears and hair are so sharp and quick, making for undeniable symbols of vulpine craftiness. The sitting pose is bestial, forelegs up so canine-like, and yet he manages to manipulate the box with his front paws almost better than any opposable-thumbed monkey could, which is such a Trickster archetype and sooo comical. It's a fox, but also behaves like a human (need I get into the infinite myths of vulpine portrayals of humans?), a blend that's so intrinsically funny and endearing that I could forever brag about this piece (and I most probably will).
The crab is just hilarious! This is no slapstick base humor we're talking here. You're crafting pure comedy with the subtlest of pantomimes and situations. It's a crab in a box that's either saying "Happy Birthday, Koki" (which ties the text to the scene beautifully) or is just miming "ta-daa!". Either way, it's impossible not to laugh!

Adore the colours, especially how the pinkish crab and the rusty fox light up, with the most beautiful shading.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this incredible gift. I'll forever treasure it.
