Description

Four outta four done-zo!  Wahh!!

Ahem.  Anyways.  First off, I really want to apologize for this one being so late!!  In fact, I'd like to apologize for none of them actually being uploaded on Christmas Day.  OTL  Long story short, I had amazing ideas for backgrounds and had everything sketched out, but after getting halfway through the second background, my silly puppy broke my tablet.  Basically, my tablet isn't pressure sensitive anymore, so it's been really difficult to do these Secret Santas, and I refused to ask for an extension since A) I can't afford a new tablet anyways, so what would the point be, and B) I didn't want to make anyone sad by not getting one on time.  TTwTT

Oh my word, and Scout...when you started talking to Topic Changer about feeling bad for whoever got Dakota 'cause his app isn't updated, I just died.  I was like, 'fuck that's totally not why!  But actually it might be partially why!'. XD  I felt like you were totally on to me...I'm so sorry for making you wait - I swear it wasn't just because of his app! OTL

Aside from those little hiccups though, Dakota was such a pleasure doing!  I really wanted to put a smile on his face since he looked so angsty on his app, so I'm really sorry if it's out of character!  He just looked so sad...I felt like he needed a smile, even if it's a small one.  TTwTT  Murr, but his colors, oh my word they were fun to mess with!  I really enjoyed getting to do his facial markings to be honest.  I thought I was gonna hate coloring him, but I think he was one of my favorite to do.  X3  Sorry if I messed up his design a bit though!  I kind of drew him at a reallyyy awkward angle, so when I went to color him I confused myself about where things should go...like those markings on his neck.  I"m so sorry.  OTL  Hopefully I didn't screw it up too bad!

Merry (late) Christmas, Scout!!  I hope you had a good one, and I'm so, so sorry this is very late!! :C  Hopefully it's a good way to start off your new year though!  <3

OOOOOKAY! Time to gush all about this wonderful thing of beauty and perfection because it is long, long overdue!

Holy flying pigs and cows and sheep, Dark this is amazing! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. period. x3 I seriously love this to absolute pieces, and when it showed up in my messages I just kinda stared... for a couple minutes because DANG! You make beautiful art. I mean look at that shading. Oh wait, there's lightning that's totally awe-inspiring too! And you captured Dakota perfectly. Seriously, he's such a doof (In his, I'm so silent and bleh lame-o way) and this is the epitome of him. He looks either very, very pleased with himself because he just made some sweeter-than-candy-after-a-month-of-veggie-juice lightning! Or, like he totally just pulled something and hehe he's the king. What a dork. And all that from this gorgeous compilation of many, many pen strokes. Dark I seriously, genuinely love this so very much. It's so clean and simple but still absolutely filled with movement, and you're just a goddess with art. I mean seriously, you deserve a chocolate cake offering or something for this because oh man it's the tippity top of top notch. Not to mention... You did this without pen pressure.

Really though, I love this so, so, so very much and I'm so grateful that you were my secret santa. ;u; Sorry for his terribly out-of-date ref, and thank you again! <333
