...plus Em-Kay. >.>

~12 hours spread out over 4 days... I need to work faster! x.x

This piece breaks a personal record for most non-conjoined humanoids in a single one of my drawings. (Most non-conjoined characters was previously held by "The Master," while most conjoined characters was previously held by an obscure piece of fanart from 2005 that I deleted and lost...)

Many many times did anatomy irk me, particularly on Zoria and Rappy (because they're in the back row). Word of advice for anybody doing group pics like this, where characters are often superimposed over other characters: Keep the layer with your original sketchlines on it in a visible, easily reachable place. <_<; I had to turn multiple layers invisible just to look at it again because I was too lazy to just move the sketch layer to the top. (By the way, this breaks my personal record for most layers, too, at 34. Although I'm sure most professional artists will scoff at that and go, "That's nothin'!" and then proceed to berate me for my inability to draw snowflakes.)

But at any rate, an obligatory Christmas special needed to be done, and *lonestranger wanted me to do it in a big way. The original concept was to draw four members of the "Sisterhood" (which technically also includes ~Bahamut625, ~MDM-0019-777, ~Sekkai-Strife, and ~Zalloy) together for the holidays, but I decided to throw ~manaknight14 in there as well. With Lone's permission, of course.

Em-Kay was in last year's special, and the mood of the pic kinda demanded his presence. That and I needed to know if I could still draw a person with a Y chromosome, and I guess the answer is yes. Notice how His Fingers Are Different. ...And how the shading job doesn't draw attention to his junk this time. >///>

As you can hopefully understand, I will be sporadic in the coming weeks due to family times, but I wanna try and stick in just one more drawing before the calendar advances to Level 2011... What that will be, I don't know yet. But after finishing the largest group pic in my entire history as an artist (which admittedly isn't that large... *grumbles at ~Cukeman*), I feel like I can illustrate just about anything. ^^
