Minty and clover

Wowie, what can I say? <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

First off, the shading - it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I don't usually like sparkly things, but I think it just helps out with the shading.
Second, the character. Very well designed, lovely colour.
Third, the clover. The leaves are perfect.They show a lot of depth, and the stem has a lovely, gentle curl at the bottom, which gives the sense of a 'Just Picked From The Ground' feeling.
Fourthly, the expression, it's really cute. I've always been fond of a 'v' mouth. The arms are very well placed.
Fith and lastly, the animation. It's not very smooth. But I guess, no piece of art is ever perfect, and it's VERY hard to animate with that amount of amazing shading.

Overall, a good piece, very effective <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
