Uuuh what? I'm finished? I write stuff here?
Hi it's late. This is my holiday exchange for at club ~Mermafied woo yeah! It's his character Cruz, the hourglass merman who is so cute.

Seeing as how I left ALL useful coloring utensils and/or the good computer in another state, I had to resort to ye olde laptop of crashalot. Therefore actual making-sense shading on Cruz is not of the happening, and there was great clicking and selecting to be had in yon Illustrator of olde. The lineart is solid pencil and not ink, which is different for me. It's so clean! But I think the happy background kinda distracts from it. Ooooh well.

The pencil lineart can be seen here: [link]

Oh yeah, Cruz is sitting on an iceberg, and that funny looking thing there up there in the distance is supposed to be sort of a christmas tree... ice sculpture... thing. Yeah. Sure it is.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I love the detail in the outfit. It's so much better than the generic X-mas outfits that everyone else draws. I also really like the iceburg, it has kind of a Dr. Suess feel to it. The tree/sculpture reminds me of Mt. Crumpit xD it makes it feel even more christmas-y (if that's a word -_-)

It's beautiful!! The clothes and the character both look great... and I really like the little iceberg-tree in the background; makes it kinda surreal in a way. Neat!

Wow the design on this is amazing! I love the whole thing.... Cruz looks very handsome, the clothes are wonderfully unique, and the iceberg tips the scales. Thanks for doing something so creative! Fuzzy underwater santa costume. XD
