Happy holidays to you all! I hope you have a pleasant and blessed end of this year! 

Once more I got to do Dragosteel's holiday card, and what a pleasure it was to do that one. This year the theme was awkward family foto and Christmas sweaters, or at least spren sweaters? 

Do you have a favourite?

People have been asking where the favourite Kholin son is, and yes originally Kaladin was in there, but then got booted out to be replaced by Gallant. (Seems like nobody signed any adoption papers so far…)

But I made some art with him, Shallan and Adolin to restore balance. And so I could design Adolin’s sweater details, because how can it be a fashion oriented card and then NOT show his choice for it?! It has swords and horses (Sureblood is in the back), of course!

And yes, ever since I was asked to include that chull plushy in that card, I knew I had to get one at Nexus. They are adorable. So round. His name is Chubby. Chubby the chull. TSA find them suspicious. 

Art director and co-conspirator on the inside was the incredible Priscilla Spencer. @priscellie

Words cutting so deep you’d think she had Path to Victory.

A happy boy and his happy horse: Adolin Kholin on Gallant, both living their shared dream of flying. An absolute joy of a commission for Finnean.
