Description "Oh... I sincerely apologize everyone. I know you must be absolutely disappointed in me. So many of you submitted your vote for the card so that it would last forever... but what sort of excuse for a memory is this!? I suppose I'd best explain the situation.

It was difficult in light of the short notice, limited time, and busy holiday schedules, but I could manage this one slot of time before Christmas started. I had set up my camera and a timer to take a photograph. However, right before it was set to take the photo, Ed,.... (oh how I do adore you Ed, you meant the best but WHY!?) thought that it might be a more joyous photograph if it was a group hug. As you can see, he was the only one genuinely joyful. The other children had an array of other feelings regarding this.Β  Eddy and Kevin escaped Ed's grasp and Sarah clobbered her brother. After this most of the kids were too annoyed to want a second run at the photo and dispersed.

This was literally all I had.

I'm so ashamed! Yes I promised a Christmas card with everyone in the Cul-de-sac. So despite the fact that I simply dreaded editing this, I continued. That is also why I'm still doing the party at another time. I feel as though I've not shown you the spirit of Christmas, but let down all the wonderful people who have come to care for me on this website. I hope all of you can forgive me and are still content with the rest of your holiday.

I'm going to go to bed now. I'll be waking up in four hours anyway. At least I was productive, not that I would have been able to fall asleep easily tonight anyway. Hopefully some time with Mother and Father will ease my sorrows. Thank you. I'll be sure to do better in the future."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Artist:....Okay. With this I officially need to cool it a bit here. Don't get me wrong, I'm SO HAPPY how this turned out. I had fun, but I also have been pushing myself too hard on this account. I need to start cutting back a little bit. I'll be around for a time, but for the rest of Christmas, I won't be drawing Ask Edd stuff.

Now onto the fun part!

THIS DRAWING MAKES ME HAPPY.
Unlike Edd, I love this situation so much! I started drawing the sketch Christmas eve at my Grandparents house! >w< Also I've gone from struggling to Eddy in the past to nailing every single drawing I do of him now! Seriously I have some sketches of him for another project and they're soo AUGH! YAY.

I did put some water marks on this one. I just... put a lot into this and honestly my body aches a bit from pushing my creative energies this far. Oh well, because we have to wait for family friend, we weren't gonna open presents or have Christmas dinner until afternoon anyway. >w< So it's all good. But from now on I need to just... upload a little less frequently. And give myself a bit of an art break. After all, in two weeks I dive back into school!

I have so many random thoughts on this but yeah, I'll stop there. I'm really happy about this card. I tried hard. ^w^ Hope you guys like it.)

(To the artist:Β This turned out absolutely amazing! The expressions, the perspective on Kevin's hand/arm, the overall composition. I love seeing your work improve with every upload! Keep up the excellent work!. But please, don't push yourself too hard. )

"Truly...? I can't understand why everyone enjoys it so much. But I suppose if it turned out well, I'll appreciate the miracle of such a turn out."


(Artist: Oohh thank you for the analysis! This sort of thing means a lot to me. I actually went through a bit of a sorrowful state on questions 117 & 119 feeling as though my drawings of Double D aren't good enough, that I'm still not accurate enough. In fact I still have a bit of frustration with that regarding Nazz and Johnny on this image. I guess I've been obsessed with perfecting this style for 7 years though, so that's bound to happen. Then again, I looked at the season 2 starter yesterday and realized I have gotten better at Double D. I think part of why I push myself is I'm still used to having come off finals, and having to push myself artistically. And sometimes when I stop focusing on my relationship with God I notice I start getting obsessed with approval here. But that's not how I want to treat this account. I want to appreciate approval, but not rely on it as my main source of self worth. Iiiiiii had to get that checked out before I got on DA this morning. Hopefully I'll start relaxing a bit then.

Seriously, I do appreciate the words on the composition and foreshortening. ;w; Thanks.)

To the artist:Β 
Believe me, Double Dee is one of my all time favorite characters, and you are seriously NAILING him. You draw him SO WELL. Im pretty picky about fanart of him, but your drawings are always top notch. I really do hope you give yourself a chance to relax and rejuvenate after finals. I just finished finals myself and I've been in the same boat as you, as far as pushing myself pretty hard with drawing the Eds. But it's definitely important to take some time for yourself now and then. Β

(Artist: ;w; Same here. Definitely a wonderful lad he is. He's had basically a huge impact on the kind of person I am today and why I entered the animation field.Β 
I think we both need to take a break in some point XDΒ 
I think I'll spend the rest of the day in another type of art, rather than pushing my drawing. I haven't gotten to write much as of late. I miss it.

Also thank you so very much. This was a very uplifting comment.)Β
