The figures below were doodled in anticipation of another illustration, but we ended up going in a different direction when the story didn't quite match up to what I thought it was going to be about. That happens from time to time.

The End

Merry X-mas!

This is a quick post on X-mas eve day; I'm too busy working and can't really get into it. And posting this later in the week is really missing the boat.

Open in a new window for a monstrous-sized image.

Drawn and colored in Manga Studio, more color and some tweaks done in Photoshop. Here's how it looked on A1:

Lots of fun to work on. Have a happy day!
