Artist's Comments

Whew!! I never thought I'd make it! But here it is! My gift to all the players who lend their creativity and enthusiasm to my beloved Three Lakes Holt!

I put an enormous amount of work into this picture. Rather than the usual web card, I thought I'd try and see if I could draw every player an elf in time for Christmas - and then I was reminded of a beautiful picture made my by friend :iconnatachachoquet: for Shadow Wolf Holt, "what if our elves met in real life?". That gave me the inspiration to depict how our 3L characters would look like if they were to attend a christmas party in real life! :D

And yes, I know that I actually got three characters instead of one, because Cascade, Lorenos and Rokal are both mine. But I didn't exactly have a say in it - I WAS going to put only Cascade, but Rokal started whining that it was not fair and that he deserved to be in the picture too and that no one loved him and boo-hoo. As for Lorenos, he calmly demanded to be drawn as well... and believe me; I may be his creator, but I know better than to get on my evil Tramp mercenary's bad side. Especially when he looks at me with that typical Lorenos-eque smirk and rolls his skinning knife in the air. That guy can get to be so very creepy - sexy, sure, but creepy! ;) So... forgive me? :P

Oh... and yes I also am painfully aware that the ladder is an absolute horror. But the ladder isn't really played by anyone so I won't feel too bad about it ;)

Seriously though, I'll never stress it enough but... thanks you all, Three Lakes players, for being your AMAZING selves! The holt wouldn't be the same without you!! :D

Listen. Can you hear it? The voices of the world, whispers in the wind.
:iconartslavist:
Weee....I would have DIED before I finished that...but Slayer looks so awesomely scroogerific...hand some mistletoe over that poor boys head to cheer him up, although *cries* deathbringer even look darlky charming...

Creed: HEy..hey,,,whatdda 'bout me, I chopped liver!??
ME: Shhh you idiot...
Murdoc: Ohh...there you g...just give Lorenos a bigger ego then he already had and make my life difficult *pouts*
:icondreamweaverno1:
Oh my goodness, this looks like it was difficult to draw. It's gorgeous, but wow... I can see all the work you put into this.

Lol thanks! ^^ And yeah there will be lots of Recognition during/before the two years time jump, and I figured the pic would take place toward the end of it so most are already underway save for one which has not yet sparked XD
:iconchristinaraibert:
Thanks!! :D Rotfl Shine doesn't look very thrilled with playing Santa, but maybe he'll change his mind once Juniper sits in his lap and tells him what she wants for christmas? ;)
:iconchristinaraibert:
Thanks!! :D I'm happy you like it ^^ I spent lots of time and work to get everyone to look right but I really wanted this to be a good xmas/holidays present for you all! :) Also I'm particularly happy with Jasnim's shirt 'cause it was my first attempt to draw a pattern over the shading of clothes... I'm not quite there yet, but getting close! Woohoo! :D
:iconchristinaraibert:
Rotfl I thought so all the time while working on it... generally it takes me a lot to draw a single elf in time for a deadline (I'm a lousy procastinator rotfl) let alone twenty-seven elves (and a christmas tree!) XD

And yeah Slayer and Cascade look like they'd only want to slip away from the crowd unnoticed as soon as possible XD
Cascade: "Yes, slip away together. Mistletoe over your head sounds like a good idea though, beloved." *winks at Slayer* "Once I get rid of a certain stone in the shoes..." *glares at Deathbringer and mutters something about the eventuality to have two turkeys for dinner and not just the one Reaper is carrying XD*

Lorenos: *looks around* "Right how comes that Murdoc isn't in the pic?" *turns to give me a Lorenos-eque sneer and draws out the skinning knife again*
Me: "Uh... let's say it was his payday?"
Lorenos: *shakes his head* "Not bloody likely, 'cause you know, it would be *my* payday too, then."
Me: *begins to back away* "Er... then he's enjoying the holidays with a girl and wanted some privacy? You know, close the curtains and all that jazz?"
Lorenos: *sneers* "You know, it looks a lot like you're climbing on mirrors" *takes a step forward menacingly*
Me: o.o *runs to hide behind Deathspear* "Deathpear protect me!!"
Deathspear: "Huh? Who ever allowed you to call me by first name only?! It's 'Your Royal Highness' for you!"
Me: -__- "All right. Your Royal Highness, protect me!"
Deathspear: *glares* "Speaking of which... I was not included in the picture either." *prepares a black sending attack while Lorenos walks close*
Me: O.o"Guys... you're taking it too personal..." *runs to hide behind Snowcry* "Snowcry save my hide!!"
Snowcry: *turns around with a snarl and draws her sword* "Ah, here is the wayward creator who didn't even put my GHOST in her damned Christmas pic!"
Me: O.O

;)

It's really great and really funny how you managed to involve all these elves together is such a natural way. The texts really made me smile :-) Sure this work took you a long time but it's really worth the ';pain' ;-)
