Holiday Cards WIP

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long, long while. Finally had a chance to get to the lineart and need to get cracking on the coloring so I can get these cards out in time.

Thank you! I'm having so much fun with these guys.

Ahh! Brilliant. Can't wait to see how these turn out! I am particularly enraptured by their fingers.

I used Benedict's fingers as a model. He has the most beautiful hands.

:D

Did you sign up for a card?

[identity profile] opaljade.livejournal.com 2012-12-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
This is fabulous! I love both so much (and I love your brain for thinking of it!)

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-09 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And my brain loves you back. I've been thinking about doing this since October and am finally getting around to it now!

[identity profile] shefa.livejournal.com 2012-12-09 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow. These are BRILLIANT!

*channels Arthur... *wicked grin

Gorgeous art and brilliant idea!

And now I really wish I'd done a Cabin Pressure card. Arthur so loves Christmas!

Thank you.

Genius!!!

*squees over both of them*

I was thrilled to find a way to combine these two in some way.

[identity profile] dixiebell12.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Those are going to be amazing! How on Earth do you find the time? I'm so busy atm, there is no way I'll have time for cards this year :( And now with TTP it's going to be even busier *G*

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god. There is so much I am not doing in a timely fashion.

*cringes*

We still don't have a Christmas tree, I haven't bought a single present, I am woefully behind on decorating, and then there's all this stuff for work that I'm not doing fast enough.

Yep, TPP is going to take up some time. I've got to get my ass in gear on that too.

[identity profile] dixiebell12.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't done any shopping either, My daughter has midterms that I have to help her study for, I have family coming to stay and I have to host Christmas eve for about 30 people. Even worse my damn pit bull puppy chewed up all my Christmas lights outside. I'm going to need medication to get through this holiday or I will kill someone :(

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
Your stress is stressing me out!

Don't worry too much about the TPP - you'll find it a fun way to relieve your stress from all the christmas shenanigans!

If I can just get past the 19th, school will be out. She was in tears all day over math :(

[identity profile] dickgloucester.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
So. Much. Love.

:DDD

I had this idea in October - it seemed the perfect way to wrangle a bit of crossover into Christmas cards.

[identity profile] shadowfireflame.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh, this is such a lovely comparison.

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
They hold a special place in my mind and I thought it would be nice to juxtapose them here.

[identity profile] holyfant.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
:D So much fun! I'm squinting trying to decipher Snape's card - I can see Sherlock got his book from John, but who is Snape's benefactor?!

(Either way I sort of feel like Snape would be happier with the Holmes books than Sherlock with the Harry Potter books, haha. "Magic, John? Really?!" "There is scientific method to it!" "I'm sure. *rolls eyes*")

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Snape's card is a bit ambiguous. It merely says it's from "H", which means it could be from either Harry or Hermione, depending on what you ship.

I agree with you on Sherlock's lack of interest in the text. I see him reading it for one of 2 reasons: (a) to indulge or mock John who gave it to him for some reason, or (b) for a case. Perhaps there is a murderer who is recreating deaths from literary references. One looked suspiciously familiar to John but not Sherlock who doesn't read this stuff. Thus John purchased Sherlock a pile of popular fiction with the murders bookmarked...

This must be a fic somewhere.

[identity profile] holyfant.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Or Hagrid!!! :D *runs away cackling*

And, ooh, yes. That's a crossover that has to exist somewhere. If not, someone should write it. *wags eyebrows at resident Potterlock enthusiast who's proven recently that she can write fic*

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the idea of Hagrid giving Snape X-mas presents. Because he knows being lonely and misunderstood. HEADCANON ACCEPTED.

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh-heh-heh. That is rather cute.

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
*spanks naughty fangirl*

The Snape/Hermione and Snarry contingent on my flist is a lot bigger than the Snagrid crew.

Hmmm... maybe I should do this. I still want to try writing smut. I love reading porn and I feel guilty for not producing any.

*FLAIL*

Oh, I can't wait to see more of this one!

[identity profile] pennswoods.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
:DDDDD

Almost done. I hope to post them tonight (Tuesday afternoon in the US).
