Happy Xmas in July, Sola! I hope you’re enjoying your summer self <3 <3

Yup, it’s true... I’m your Secret Santa! And because of that, I humbly present to you a little doodle as a gift:



Hope you enjoy! I know you probably weren’t expecting a drawing from me as I’m no artist and seldom publish anything of the short, but...

Full disclosure: I originally intended on a fanfic with your OCs (which I did start and will give to you upon completion), but for some reason my motivation (and to an extent my ability) for writing really went down the crapshoot recently (my reason for not being as active on any wiki), which is why I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish a decent fic by today.

So, rather than give you my worst shot at writing (which wouldn’t be fair to you), I thought it’d be better to give you my best attempt at drawing! I selected Melyzma as the subject because I simply adore her design <3

I’ve shown you the og sketch variant first because I knew I’d mess up trying to add color, and I sorta did (don’t ask what the hell I was trying with the neon colors and blue pen, and no idea where the stain came in):



I hope I somewhat made up for all that by altering her basic design just a bit! I’ll admit finding seapunk refs really upped my appreciation for Mel’s whole style, as well as for your phenomenal traditional art style <3 <3

((sorry about the use of lined paper, it was the only way i could get proportions remotely right))

Anyways, that’s your gift for now, and while I work on completing the og fic, I hope this doesn’t disappoint! I’m truly honored to be your Secret Santa and even more so to be your administrative colleague, and while I think you deserved better this holiday summer season, this was super fun nonetheless!! <3 <3
