couldn't decide whether to call it "The Sohma Family Tree" or the "The Sohma Animal Tree"...

phew, this took me a while to colour, esp the tree itself. mostly because I suck at backgrounds, and that I was stupid enough not to have it sketched out by hand, so I had to draw the tree on the computer in opencanvas, and my mouse does not like cooperating with me, it doesn't like to draw smooth lines...but I'm so proud of the tree!! the animals themselves were easy enough since I sketched and inked them on paper and coloured in MS Paint. but it did take me a while to figure out how to get Hatori's fishbowl to look clear but with water inside (while drawing, I wondered, what would happen if he were to transform back while in the fishbowl...ouch! ) poor Kagura, she can't climb... then how did hiro get up there, and who put Hatori in a fishbowl and put him there? um... and yes, Shigure is putting all of his weight on that branch, even though there's a branch beneath for him to stand on (I put it there so I wouldn't have to draw his legs ) so if it breaks, Hatori's most likely gonna fall (but Ayame could catch him...)

I actually had this idea for quite some time (since May, I think) but was too lazy to get it sketched and coloured anyway, now this is a entry in ~fruitsbasket's contest (yes, it's due tomorrow, go procrastination!)

As you can see, it's missing 2 members, the horse and the bird... my excuse, umm, well I don't really know them that well, and it's kinda hard to fit a horse in a tree
