Pirate Santa
"Avast, me hearties, we need to get this booty under the trees before the light o' dawn! But woes to them that be on the naughty list, arrrr!"Once I realized that "Ho ho ho" and "Yo ho, yo ho" weren't all that different, this drawing was inevitable.
On an unrelated note, one thing I've noticed in Christmas decorations and ads this year is the "buff Santa." No round belly, often not even a white beard. Lookin' burly. That fact didn't influence the illustration, but drawing him this way certainly fits in with the times!

Penguin, James Penguin
A sketch inspired by one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Penguin, James Penguin" by #bradpaisley.
This is from the part where the lyrics say "Then a knight in shining polyester waddled through his door."

Inktober Chapter 30: Catch
Fortunately for him, that happened to be the word of the day. Had it been something like "eat," this story would have had quite a different ending.

Inktober Chapter 28: Ride
Worst ride ever. There's no wait time for the line, though, so that's something.

Artist Process, or Georgia Sun
I always start in pencil, then do the final inking via light box. But the Georgia sunlight shone through the closed blinds so strongly that I couldn’t see the light from the box! Fortunately, I had a dark (and holiday-appropriate) blanket to help out.

Inktober Chapter 27: Coat
On the plus side, the surface has a coat of something to cushion his fall.
On the other hand, since he was swallowed by a demon treasure box, he's probably thining more along the lines of "I AM NOW COATED IN MONSTER GOO AAAAGHHHH"
