Wow! Excellent collection of art. I really like all of them, and your hard works certainly paid off abundantly judging by the drawings I've seen. Even the border is exquisitely made, very very lovely :).

Edit: And the writing part of your post is also really lovely. I am so glad that you managed to keep your promise to the girl. It is a really commendable effort, since you didn't plan to make a whole comic as a prize XD.
