In case you haven’t noticed, this week is going to be mostly Christmas-related filler, with regular Weregeek strips returning in the New Year. In the meantime, hope you had a Cool Yule and that Santa brought you all new supplements and modules from your favourite games! See you in 2012!

I was going to post something cheesy and Christmas-y for today’s post, but after braving the stores and hearing the endless litany of covers and (cringe) auto-tuned Christmas carols, I’m now thoroughly sick of the saccharine, and thought you might be too.

So, instead, here’s a lady and a dragon. I’m particularly pleased with how the dragon came out. It looks like some sort of delicate thing bred as a lap-dog/guardian, and is clearly enjoying having it’s necked scritched.

(If you’re still in the mood for some holiday cheer, feel free to imagine that they’re sitting under some mistletoe in a great hall, near a roaring fire, and that a harpist is gently playing ‘Silent Night’ in the background. MUCH better Christmas music than the pop-divas renditions (read – butchering) of classic carols. Or worse… I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I really can’t stand that song…)

Come watch me draw!

There’s already been quite a run of commission sale sketches, but I couldn’t resist. There’s been some really fun ones this time around. This particular one simply had the description “Jess tries to cosplay and messes it up, but Mark loves it anyway”. I took that idea and ran with it, mashing up two famous princesses into one costume. As anyone who listened to the stream can attest to, I giggled the entire time while drawing this.

Do you remember a few weeks ago, when I posted a picture of Morpheus and Death from Sandman? Well, apparently that inspired someone else to commission this drawing, of Joel as Dream and Abbie as a highly-excitable Death. I am forever amused by these roles for the two of them, especially since Joel looks like he’s trying SO very hard to be dour and serious and Abbie is completely ruining it for him.
