Christmas DiD duo sketch; Pencil & Paper.

"Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!" is what Santa loves saying every time he slides down a house's chimney. As he slides down Peach's home, where he knows Zelda is staying as well, he prepares his standard joyful greeting, but instead he lands to find Peach is being hogtied by The Girltaker, & Zelda also finds herself being tied up by Parastye!!! The girls are hoping that Santa is ready to treat these two miscreants as "naughty" as they are too tightly tied to get free themselves!

On the eve of my leaving for a Christmas vacation to see family, I didn't want to leave you all here empty handed. When I thought of this silly but relevant point of view scenario, I knew I would need some top notch villains to make it work. And who better than Girltaker and Parasyte, two outstanding artists and DiD heavyweights!

Ok let's see here:

Peach: It seems the more I draw, the more Peach keeps changing in my style...I actually had to look at a couple quick references to refresh my memory on some parts of her. As usual, she is in my favorite helpless position. I used a tape gag this time, just something simple.

Zelda: I used the same model that I had before, sticking with the dress and cape, with all of the little stylistic finishes that Zelda favors. I wasn't sure I got her facial expression quite right, but it is good enough. I also stuck with a tape gag for her.

Girltaker: Man I love some of these villains! Girltaker's face is essentially unrecognizable, save for eyes and darkness. He does have this Anime white hair deal, and the extremely stylish hat. I tried an awkward looking kneeling position for him after seeing a similar position in a reference...but I definitely wanted him tying as well as looking at "the camera".

Parasyte: Another cool character! Parasyte provides a menacing visage with the scar? (birthmark?) and the chrome dome, as well as the long coat, the muscular physique, and the tall boots. I wanted him on the couch in the background next to Zelda, whom isn't providing a lot of resistance to being tied up...not that it would help if she struggled more.

Santa: I really didn't know what I doing here, but I tried to give a behind-the-subject view as if we had followed santa right down the chimney and were almost right on his back. I considered him landing on his butt and showing part of his boots, but I figured that would screw up the position, so I left it out. I generally do not provide words if it isn't a comic (which this isn't) but I couldn't help it this time

Scene: The biggest problem here is that I had to take creative liberties with the chimney to be able to show enough of the scene...I know it is way too high, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work otherwise. I wanted to make sure to have enough Christmas decorations and such for the room. I didn't execute as good as my imagination, but it is pretty close.

Merry Christmas everybody and I will talk to you all when I get back! Be sure to leave comments and I promise I will get to all of them this coming weekend when I return.
