It's Christmas Time

Here are some of my sketches for my holiday cards.
I think this is the design I'll go with. What I think it will end up as is jamming the whole frame with characters from the Mighty Orange-Peel universe (some that have hit the cutting room floor and some of the more obscure one). I'm going for a 'every one wants to be surrounded by loved ones at the holiday' feeling.
This is just a sketch of O and Mhetli about to get into a snowball fight. I like the drawings but think the idea was a bit too blaze. Mostly because I HATE snowball fights!!!

I was seeing the final of this being O surrounded by whirling snow and light. But, I've done something similar in previous years (and didn't really like it in the end anyway).
And Santa. I don't think I've ever actually drawn a picture of santa so this was just to get into the spirit. I never actually believed in the guy so he's not really in the running for my card but it was fun to draw. I mean how could you not love a jolly fat dude in red?

A fighting chance

So, I've just written my first action scene: Mhetli and Opeel finally meet and instantly engage in fisticuffs.

Here's Mhetli combat ready and Opeel in his gear for compulsory military training. I'd love to say that gives O a fighting chance, but he's not very good.
