Hi, I decided to do a recent artwork from pixiv here and get some feedback/learn more.

[LITERAL]久しぶりっ　＋　１０か月ぶりく…だね

（１）"It's been a while(since we last met)", this could be rewritten in English in so many ways. I chose the words I chose based on demeanor of the character in the image speaking it (smiling, close to viewer).

The っis just a kind of trailing off on the last syllable. Honestly, with this trailing at this point and the expression of the characters, it makes me think they're smart and trying to manipulate me in some way.
（２）This is a less formal way of writing １０ヶ月. I'm not sure how to adjust the translation for this but the lazier version could have no real translatable meaning but I would think it would.
Maybe just wanting to appear more childish and less authoritative like a calendar talking to you.

(3) ぶり after a stated time period, in this case, is just restating that it's been awhile. So instead of saying "It's been awhile, 10 months." The addition of buri again makes it "It's been awhile, it's been 10 months (since last time)

くらい - is "about (amount)". used after time commonly, pretty simple and easy.

（4）だね is common, nothing special. だ is declarative, especially alone. ね is like "huh?" as in a "don't you think so" kind of way, not confusion. Putting these two together, I think, can be interpreted as wanting to be like ("I know this but I'm not trying to sound like a teacher or something").

Or maybe "it is, don't you know?"

Trailing off to a だね (use of …), not sure how to adjust the translation here except just adding a trailing off in the English as well.

-part 2 (next bubble) in next post- getting a drink and I'll start on it
