Those sketches I promised a while ago. I wanted to have them ready for Christmas! Fortunately, it's still Christmas in some countries, so here you go.

I make *frizz-bee 's words mine:

Deviantart is a community filled with countless creative minds, each with stories and ideas of their own. For that reason, I felt I wanted to expand beyond my usual themes and explore some of those concepts layed out and developed by others. It was great dipping my toes in all these different universes through the characters I was given the pleasure to draw. Thanks to all those who requested!

Also, please have in mind that I did these at different times, with different materials and kinds of paper, with different states of mind. So I really hope there isn't any case of "he used ink with that one, I wish he'd done that with mine" or something, but there is, I apologize.

So, without further ado:

- I wanted to show her having fun, because fun princesses are the best. Hope you dig. :]

- That unfinished sketch was my initial pose idea, but I discarded it because it wasn't very interesting. Still, I decided to include it just because.

- I know, I know... Could be sexier.

- I couldn't figure out what his clothes were supposed to be like, so I tried to make the bust as interesting as possible. The red string has got to give me points.

- One thing about me - when given the chance to draw one of two characters with wobbly hair, I'll do both. I liked the way they looked before I drew the clothes in, so I decided to keep it. I hope that's alright.

- Sorry about the hand. e_e

- I hope the skirt is short enough!

- I... can't make up an excuse for such sucky proportions. I'm really sorry. ): I used the dripping heart motif I saw in a couple of your deviations, I hope that's okay.

And I couldn't pass up a few other people...

- I remember staring at your girls' faces a couple of Summers ago, trying to study the way you always make them look so strong and sexy. Even though I've been straying from the 'western comics' style, you've always been a great inspiration to me - plus you always manage to be so nice to everyone. So although I couldn't be part of the 'official' Secret Santa, here's a little Haliya for you, even if is she couldn't do justice to the original one in a million years. /end of fanboy rant

- ...That was supposed to be Raven. Sorry about that. D: Still, merry Christmas! (yes, it's a hint. About your webcomic. Remember that one? I WANNA READ MORE)

- Because you kinda rock AND painted Tarzan. Each time I see something from you in my inbox, I go "whee" inside my head. What else could a watcher ask for? Now go and become rich and famous, plz.

And of course,
So yeah, I completely failed at conveying your characters' spectacular design. But still - thanks. Never stop amazing all of us. :]

And finally - ~kalicodreamz and *DemosthenesSeven , if you still want your sketches, just note me.

And if any of you want your sketch in full-size, just let me know (even though the scans aren't very good... :/ )

Happy Holidays!

hoooooooooooooly shit, when i saw this i was like - wouldnt it be funny if he'd spontaneously drawn raven? AND THERE SHE WAS! thank yooouuuu, now i'm sorry that i dont have anything to give back

yes.. webcomic. ehum. i have no time on my hands ;_; and i don't like the drawings and the story anymore.. if i ever continue I'd have to finish/clean up the story and my drawing style first. I think `alexds1 did a really good job at that, with all her patience, planning and commitment.

oh, and i'm jealous of your handwriting. i shall steal it.

again, thank you so much <3

There's no back givance necessary!

THEN I CALL REFORMULATION TIEMZ! You know, *Nashya started her comic once before redoing it aas we know it today. :] I'm sure you'll do great in this ~journey~. Let's consider this little something a tiny incentive.

And the file has been sent!

RenginTumer In reply to Kyendo [2009-12-26 16:35:24 +0000 UTC]

it's an incentive indeed, and I'd really love to, but I simply have no time to do such a thing right now. I need to earn some extra money but I don't even have time to do that because college is killing me. Stuff that I do for free and fun will have to wait.

And I love your crosshatching skills. xD I shall steal those too!

I know I know, I'm speaking more on the long-term. There's always Summer! (...until we get a job, I guess)

RenginTumer In reply to Kyendo [2009-12-26 19:13:51 +0000 UTC]

summer mostly involves me being AWAY from the computer xD though i was planning on drawing a lot during the summer to improve. but that will mostly involve studies.

It's still Christmas where I am, and really, I couldn't think of a more amazing way to end my day. You drew all four of them! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love this Failure? I'd say quite the contrary!!

I'm all smiles right now, this is so damn precious.
YOU ARE AWESOME

May I have it full size? ^^
