every time you say that, a kitty dies...a cute one, so please, think of the kitties.
Nice, I had never seen that sort of semi-reflective effect you have on the bowl there, and it is spot on, I have one of those and looks JUST like that.
the tanooki guy is a great idea, looks like some loser who cant get over the fact he cant play mario3 all the time anymore so he g0t a costume :p , it's kinda disturbing in a good way to see some grupy fart in a tanooki costume.
hmmm, something that bugs me is how flat the prawn looks when compared to the bowl and the tanooki guy, I can understand with the noodles since that kind of fits their smooth texture, but it just looks wrong when something that looks as solid as the tanooki is standing on the flat prawn. that is not to say I dont love the color ramp of the prawn, but it just ruins the balance of the depth of all the elements.I dont know exactly what a prawn is supposed to look like, but I do get a wrong feeling for it, it reminds me more of the granite in the entrance to my building than any fried food I know.
when you add a bg, add something with a cool pallete, it's all looking a bit too warm right now, maybe you could even do a little purple reflection on the tanooki or the bowl.
