DEC. 2022 REWARD (Lineart) (Patreon)

(DISCLAIMER: All characters in this illustration are depicted as 18+.)

A day late for Christmas, but here it is, finally! This is the final pic I'll be producing for 2022, and as per tradition it's the one with three choices from the list of male characters in animation and gaming that I've enjoyed over the years. As per your vote, the choices are Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia (whom I've drawn for a previous monthly reward!), Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, and Claude von Riegan from Fire Emblem: Three Houses! This being holiday-themed, I decided to play on a lyric from a popular Christmas carol for the title and have them take a ride on a one-horse open sleigh, with an assortment of ticklers and background cameos across various media as a celebration of my broad tastes in fandom. See if you can identify them all! Naturally, I'll be providing the guide to who's who once the pic is complete, though whether or not I'll be able to finish it before the end of this month is still up in the air due to the job I started this past autumn. I'm happy to say that my real-life affairs have improved quite a bit since the start of last year, but it's left me a lot busier now than then and I still can't help but apologize for that even if such is unnecessary; still, if I owe anyone around these parts a commission, a subscription tier reward, or both, please let me know as soon as you can so I can keep track. Hopefully I'll get through the rest of that list of prepaid commissions by the end of next year. X'D

The final version of this piece will be available on Sunday, January 1!
