Chieri's warming up to the occassion...

I might be a little late, but I still wanted to draw something for the New Year. This is a sort of sequel to a drawing I made two years ago (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55192402/), to show my progress. I'm often not satisfied with the results of my efforts, but I'm not going to deny that I'm improving. Maybe the problem is that my expectations are improving alongside me?
