HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I only had time to make real gifts for three people and I really wish I'd been able to do more but finals and all my other shopping did make that difficult,, still, I wanted to show my support for as many people as possible so there's a couple of sketch gifts too! If I didn't make you something I promise that doesn't mean I didn't think of you or don't love and appreciate you, I just don't have the time ;v;

Anyway!! First up!! Best friend in the world, platonic love of my life, incredible human being, Mic!!

The characters are their 'sonas, Raph and Juice! Who wouldn't technically be able to ever meet but shshhshjs, it's fun, god I love their designs and I loved drawing this, also btw ik Ralph's is a bit off but w/o pupils to make eye contact I couldn't tilt the head right aha,, rip

Mic,, I love you so so much. I can't ever repay how much you've done for me. You're the best friend anyone could ever ask for. You never fail to make me feel better or laugh when I'm down, your art is beautiful and you deserve all the praise in the world, and overall you're just such an amazing person to be around. On the topic of your art, what an absolute! Fucking! Inspiration! You inspire so many people and for that you have my respect. Since the moment we met you've been helping me, making me happy, and doing so much for so many people. I could talk forever and ever about how great you are. Thank you for putting up with me for literal years and always being there for me when I need you. I hope we can meet someday, not in a creepy way of course!

Next up is Cavy!!

This adorable little fluffball isn't actually a character, he's Cavy's cat, Tucker!! She's always blessing me with pictures of him and I love him so much so I figured it was only fair that I should draw him

Cavy,, where do I even start?? You're the best!! Even with all you're going through you always find time to help me out. You're an incredibly positive presence and you handle situations with grace and kindness. Not to mention your incredible art skills!! I'm so, so grateful to have a friend like you. Thank you for everything you do for me!! Again, not to sound creepy, but I hope one day we're able to meet at that iconic McDonald's,, speaking of similar time zones, it's great being able to talk to you so easily, even if I have to duck out for school a lot ;v; you're always understanding. You feel like such a warm and humble person, and you're the best kind of friend. Keep making beautiful art, keep being there for people in the best way, and keep making me happy every time we talk. I love you so much

Last but holy fUCK not least, Jamie!!

Another paradoxical pair of personas!! These two are Nui Kalani and PJ, I love them so so much and getting to draw them was a dream,, aa I hope they're accurate! They were the most difficult to reference ^^; oops, I think I forgot Nui's halo thing,,

Jamie! You!! Heccin art deity!!! And stellar human being!!!! I don't want this to be dominated by my love of your art but I can't believe you're not a professional!! You could own the character design industry. Talk, about, talent. I stg do you have an infinite source of creativity?? And the fact that there's all this skill alongside a genuine, kindhearted person,, there's still hope for the world. Your art is so good I feel intimidated looking at it, as if it's meant for an elevated kind of person, yet you're such a warm and welcoming presence that I still comment and smile at your replies. You're gon go so far and it makes me really happy that I'm able to be with you on the way. You and your art both inspire me so, so much

Before I get to the other gifts I just want to mention that I'm really glad I managed to do these. It was super difficult with all the problems I already mentioned but super worth it as well! Not only did I get to make finished pieces for these people that I love so much but I also got to do some serious background practice, which makes me really happy. Color schemes are so good!! I used to hate them but now I love them,,

Anyway, here's the sketches I was able to do!

Jett, one of Richie's 'sonas!! I'm so happy I was able to meet you through Mic, your art is in a league of its own and you're a super cool guy in general! I stg the way you use shapes is to die for

Min, one of Illusion's main OCs! I really didn't do her justice, she has such a cool design just like all of her chars! If you're reading this, I love you and your art so so much!!

Dreamyy's 'sona, Bacchus!! I'm so happy I finally got to draw those bombass ears! How do they do it,, I love your art to the moon and back, which is probably obvious since I comment way too much ;v; thank you for being so patient with me!

White and Black, Sun's bear children that I love times a million!! I stg I'll have to draw them again bc I love them so much! You're the absolute best!!!!! Your art is to die for and should be hung in a museum, plus you're such a cool person all around!

Finally Leeu for Destiny! He's her char who I hope is still relevant,, aa I love him so much!! And I love you so much, you're such a cool and creative gal and I love your art! Thanks so much for everything!

If I couldnt make you something then I probably don't know your OCs well enough or wasn't able to find a proper ref ;v; I'm sorry, I know I didn't get to many people, but I hope the people I did like them regardless!! Ig eight's not so bad,,

Happy holidays, I hope you have/has a good time with whichever ones you celebrate <33
