@Midnightgunner yea, I love the hand placement. It actually conveys something rather than being drawn in because it needs to. Adds to the sense of excitement and-like you said-eagerness, that both seem to feel.
I missed Zawawa's stuff so much! Awesome to know that they still have art for Nozoeli. I'm guessing this is more recent stuff- their art seems to have improved quite a bit too!
