Phew! Well, this was a big effort that took over a week to put together. I unfortunately got it submitted to Twitter/X and BlueSky a little late. But here is my Holiday drawing for Christmas 2024!

I wanted to include as many of my friends as I could in this drawing as I have in years past. Unfortunately, I only really had time for flat coloring. But hopefully things turned out well regardless.

From left to right we have a massive "noodle" dragon named Batto. This was my Secret Santa gift on Discord this year. It honestly looks like he might be able to swoop around and engulf the entire group here.

The blue canine-like characters are Sketch Tucker and Heather Britannia. Anyone that follows me knows that I'm a big fan of these guys. I'm not sure what kinda silly pose they've got going on. But it seems like Sketch wanted to be a bit funny and perform a dip with Heather holding him up. It's sort of symbolic in a way. Despite Sketch being the stronger of the two, I feel like Heather is like his rock. The love of his life that keeps him moving.

Then we have my characters, the main cast of Fix-It Cat. Collin LiBee is adorned in his Santa suit this year, again. With his friends, Maria and Milo Waite there to support him.

To the right of them, we have Jessi Schaefer and Jesse. They seem to be conversing about something. Possibly about the time Jesse visited Jessi at her home town.

Next up we have Cooper the Husky riding on top of Kottarooi. Given that Kottarooi is based on Louie from Bomberman, I can see them doing something like this from time to time. Those two are basically like inseparable brothers.

From there we see that ever mysterious character named Lytzyv. I'm not entire sure what's going on in his head at the moment. I believe he may be looking for something. But I'm not sure what.

And speaking of other mysterious characters, next to Lytzyv is the silent protagonist of GatoSlip. The Undertale inspired Sonic The Hedgehog Sega MegaDrive/Genesis hack. I think he needs a bath.

And at the right end is Ramune the protogen, and beside him is Roocan the raccoon, who also appears to be sporting a Santa suit for the occasion. Although, I think he might be worried that he might have knocked Ramune's arm off. Oh well, it's a modular part that can be reassembled if needed. I know Collin can get his toolkit out a little later to fix him.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year, or whichever holiday you celebrate. Despite things being chaotic this year, it's always good to have a bit of fun.

Hill Top Zone, but it's colour accurate to the Level Select Icon.

The first of four gifts I’ve created for Christmas of 2023. This one is for @vadapega.

It’s Pantufa in an MS Paint style! Not much to this one though. It’s just Toof getting a good snooze in. I mean, he is a cat, and cats spend about 90 percent of their day sleeping.

For this drawing, I tried to mimic VAdaPEGA’s MS Paint style. I know he has a process for shading in a black and white checkerboard style, using an older version of MS Paint in black and white mode. In this case, I cheated a bit, and used Paint.NET to try and pull off a similar effect. I wouldn’t call it as detailed as VAdaPEGA can pull off with just MS Paint. But I’m just starting to get back into shading, so hopefully this can at least look passable for one of my first tries.

Mystic Cave but it's the thumbnail palette

Bad Future looking ass
