Description This was a rush job. I did it all entirely today, from quickie sketch to ink to photoshop to print - it's my 2010 limited edition Christmas card design! (Last year's was an adaptation of 'Snow Meow.') I should add that all throughout the production of this card Copernicus made himself a nuisance by either laying on the sketch and smudging the ink with his fur or by trying to take off with my drawing tools. Bloody cat! He's definitely not an art appreciator.

In any case, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you all! Here's to a fantastic and lucky 2011!

Hope it made you smile. Originally the plan was to draw a foal, then Phiro, but they were both rejected eventually on grounds that foals are kind of hard to draw (I wanted this to be adorable and fast) and 99% of my family members do not know who Phiro is, so here's a snowy husky/malamute puppy instead for your enjoyment!

Also, the reason for this year's design being an ink illustration is simply just my funds - I can't afford colour ink!

What's really ironic about this is that I'm sort of sick of puppies from working at the pet store. XDXD They're royal poop machines!

OMG I FELL OFF MY CHAIR FROM THE CUTENESS.
This is so fantastically adorable!!! Those big round eyeballs make me wanna hug teh puppeh! Love the snowman too, and Huskies and Malamutes are two of my ultimate favorite dog breeds, so yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I just want to say that you are my absolute favorite ink-artist. D: All of your inks are so full of character, and they're wonderfully recognizable as yours. I love seeing these pop up in my artbox! ( speaking of which, do you think you'll be open for commissions of them any time soon? I'd love to get one of my It character from you! )

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you Rosy!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thankies Wren! I'm so happy you like him!!! I love huskies and malamutes too, siberian huskies are one of my top favourites, but I'm afraid German Shepherds are the bomb for me. Speaking of which, what type of dogs is #871 based off of besides wolves? His fluffy tail reminds me a lot of huskies.

I want to get all the art owing I have done before I open any commissions. I'm actually looking to begin a bit of a art dash right now until I get a job, trying to get things I've had owing for a long time completed so that I can stop feeling guilty ><. Once more of that's done I'm thinking of opening limited commissions. I'd probably only take like one or two at a time and I'd want a very good description of what people want done. There's also four ink illustrations I'd have to knock off before I could make a new one. (One's production art for TPF!!!) Thank you so much!

Happy (late ) Holidays to you too!

You're welcome! He is adorable yush.
I just love all of those! My mom just says I like any dog that looks remotely like a wolf and I guess in a way that's true.
He is based off of a husky in a general way, he's just got lighter bones, slightly longer legs, and thinner fur. I had German Shepherds and Huskies in mind while coming up with his character ( and a lot of the others)
I LOVE HUSKIES.

Haha, I know how you feel. I have a lot of art I need to finish, and I just opened some commission slots because I could always use more moneys. Speaking of which, I finally remembered to check your sketch blog and the little comic page up there is awesome! I can't wait for more TPF toooooo.

Oh cute!! Merry Christmas to you and yours, too!!

My sister's family adopted an Aussie Shepherd a couple months ago and he's cute and a bit destructive like your puppy.

I may get something seasonal done once I recover from the stomach flu I picked up.

Thankies!

Awww that sounds uber cute! What colour is the puppy? Merle? I love the merle ones.

Ack, stomach flu! I had that - I hope you've now recovered!

Louie is red and white, very cute. And smart -- he figured out how to open my niece's backpack to steal her chocolate muffin.

I'm all better, altho I was sick for almost a full week right over the Christmas holiday. A lot of people from work got sick, and that's probably where I picked it up. Ugh.

Hehe I heard those dogs were lil' geniuses one dog breed website read practically along the lines of 'these dogs are sticks of plastic explosive in canine form' XD

Isn't it always that way? XD When I was in University the second one second got sick we all knew the rest of us were next. I hope you're better now!

Murasaki99 In reply to Falcolf [2011-02-13 18:22:17 +0000 UTC]

I think they are geniuses! My sister and BIL are talking of taking him to obedience class, but I dunno. Louie's a dog they got from the local Humane Society, he was rescued and found running loose on the street and was not quite a year old. In contrast to their old border collie, who died a year ago at the age of 16, he jumps really well and so stuff that used to be safe from the old dog is no problem for Louie to find and chow down on. Aussies are supposed to excel at dog obstacle courses, and I hope they give that a try with him. He has lots of energy.

Yep, I'm all better again -- and trying not to attend meetings with super-sick colleagues.

Hehe always best to avoid sick people!

I've heard that too about them. They should train him in agility!

Murasaki99 In reply to Falcolf [2011-02-19 19:43:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, the agility competitions would be right up his alley. He's more like a cat with great jumping and climbing skills.
