I just finished coloring so much secret Santa art in the last couple of days, it's crazy. And my hands aren't killing me yet. A little ache~y, but not bad yet. Small miracles.

All of my Secret Santas for the 3 I participated in have now delivered, and I love my gifts.

Downside of being an artist doing virtual Secret Santas, there is no secret once you start posting. I'm surprised that some people recognize my stuff, but I guess my "style" is pretty solid these days.

So now to share my secret santa stuff (received and given) here.

I'd say not to look if you think you had me, but I'm pretty sure you two have already figured me out correctly. (Besides, the reveal is tomorrow.)

Shameless Plot Contrivance:

Crimes of Passion:

And some LJ Icons:

This part can be taken as completely separate plot line, or one that happens after the 2+ week trip of the first few. (I had no idea that first part was going to end up so long. I had too much fun drawing the snowball fight.)
Note: I screwed up on these a little, and these read from right-to-left instead of the normal left-to-right.

Still the one I run to:

The one that I return to:

princesstutu Exchange

Received:
A really neat post-series fanfic "Bad Blood".

Given:
To

kurozukin_a, as she noted, a PTT Secret Santa full karmic circle, as she made the gift for me 2 years ago.

An attempt at something a little Mucha-esque.

And a little chibi comic. Hopefully the "punchline" is sort of funny?

(Note: In both of my comics --Slayers and PTT-- there are a pair of bunnies used in one panel. I dunno why, it just worked out that way.)

And to end things out, Happy New Year!
...and a couple of Mucha-style pieces at the line-art stage.
