That's...yeah, that's what this chapter is-

Listen, I had no intentions of posting this on time because I knew I'm not that great- Plus, I wanted to spend some time with my family so why not postpone it until almost 2022? Gosh, right when I get used to the number 2021-

I hope everyone's been enjoying the holiday, whatever you celebrate! I'm not Christian personally, but enjoying those couple days with my family, as well as singing Silent Night to my grandma on phone to hear her adorable reaction is worth it for me! And let's hope next year will be better, huh?

Well, that's really all I wanted to add. Let's get to the good part!

It's only natural that I start with a little change on my account. I usually always get the new profile pictures outta the way since you'll have to look at it anytime we converse on here, haha-

I'm happy with the end result! It took me a while to decide who to draw for it, though. Looking back at last year's of Icicle, I kinda wanted to do another winter-themed character but then I realized I didn't have a lot- I was initially gonna go with Gale, a character I've only drawn once and haven't even made an OC chapter for, but then I had an idea!

Just something about an autumn-themed character being surrounded by typical winter aesthetics makes it look so cozy. Especially him with the hot chocolate, ugh now I want some. Plus, Maple's appearance is super warm and that's honestly what I love most about winter, staying inside while nature's changing around you

I went on a tangent there- oh! Plus, I think his oranges and yellows with that dark blue are gorgeous. That's all, I rest my cocoa

While we're at it, why not continue with the most special thing in this art dump? The group picture!

I'll be completely transparent for a sec; these past years I've made a habit out of cramming mutuals and acquaintances I barely talked to into these Christmas pictures. So I made a note to myself to only include friends I regularly talk to

It sounds harsher than I want it to be, but I have lost a lot of my early Wattpad friends I used to make content upon content for and not only does it sting, it hurts. And I'm done doing more for people than I should

I didn't include my IRL friends because I uh, didn't really know how they would've reacted to being grouped together with people they don't know. I never included them in the past because they always got physical gifts because, well, we were classmates. Come to think of it, I probably should've drawn something separate for them. I won't harp on it too much though!

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest real quick-

Ta-da! I'll show close-ups in a second but first, I really wanna geek out about the end result- I just like it so much??

Last year's was pretty packed with action, contrary to the group pictures before, where my friends just kinda...stood there, doing nothing .w. So I pushed myself to make everyone do something! Kinda- Look, I planned this a few days ahead-

This took longer than I remember the others taking, hah. It wasn't a burden, I just included so many tedious and small details nobody will really notice because I'm like that, that it took me longer than I expected! Like the presents' wrapping, the decoration box, the stockings, the items on the fireplace, the picture- (take a guess which drawing that is!)

I still refuse to draw the tree decorated though. Way too much work

Fun fact, those lights on the wall I actually got for Christmas! We put it up and I can change the color and I swear, it is way more entertaining and pretty than it should be-

Anyway, let's go from left to right!

We have Addxiety and me decorating ornaments! We're sitting in front of the fireplace of course, since I get cold way too easily. And of course I had to give my persona a red-green color scheme, c'mon- When you have a character who can change their colors like magic, you have to make the most of it!

Originally I was gonna make it where Add got glitter on his nose and I'm laughing at it, but then I realized his face is already sparkly enough to notice, so now I just...look amused for no reason .w.

Next, we have CardDealerKado in his kiwi form but he's friggin giant! I dunno why I made him that big, I just felt like there would've been a lot of empty space if he was small .w.

 pastelchromist has been placed on the top of the tree dressed as an angel! Cuz, yanno, sometimes the top decoration on trees is an angel? And Jackie's sweet and adorable like one? I tried xD

Then there's DastiveArt flying around with her cool raven wings! Now, listen, I didn't remember that she's supposed to be a pale raven, forgive me I've already made like two other design mistakes in this drawing- But she's just eating a gingerbread cookie (star-shaped cuz she is one) and reacting to the chaos happening

Finally, we have PumpkingxAngel preparing his Christmas Carols! I know he does/did choir and I just felt like it'd fit and we could be a group of carol singers! Never mind the fact the sheet is empty- It's the back of it, don't judge me!

And last but certainly not least, HellOfADemon who I just have to include every year for being precious, bringing in some hot cocoa and accidentally dropping one! Well, almost. Though I dunno how a kiwi as big as Kado would drink a small cup of cocoa, but I digress!

I genuinely hope all of you enjoy this gift I made for you. I know it's probably not as special or personal as individual gifts, but there's something heartwarming about drawing all of us together. I enjoy doing it each year and I should really make it a more frequent thing!

Now that I've finished rambling about that, I have one more important thing to show before we get to the more fun stuff

January 3rd marks the 1 year anniversary of Lidd. Crazy how it's already been a year. I remember being in tears at 2 or 3 in the morning writing my confession. Teenagers are such drama queens- Regardless, it's been a wild journey and I genuinely don't know where I would be without you, Add. You brighten my days and sometimes it feels like the only reason I get up in the morning is to see your text on Discord. Dunno if that's healthy, but I'm in love for sure!

So, what better way to celebrate than to draw some Lidd? Not my favorite shipart ever but hey, it's cute and it's gay and that's all that matters

Maybe eventually I'll do drawings that are more interesting or where we're doing something other than cuddling, but until then, my physical affection-deprived self is completely content with this!

Another idea I had for that pfp was to draw my persona with icy blue colors. So since I didn't end up using it, why not recycle the idea for this picture? Plus, winter clothes, so cozy!

And you gotta admit Add looks adorable here, like always might I add (no pun intended)

Imma move on before I write a whole paragraph about Add- Since we're on the topic of shipart, I find it only fitting to show...whatever this is

A couple months ago I made this sketch of what you may recognize as two FNaF shipkids. It was definitely uh, frisky, but I kinda just forgot about it. So recently I redrew it and finished it!

Just, warning if you wanna scroll past it, it features two furry rabbits licking the same ice cream sensually and gosh I'm going to hell for this

Ah, yes. I don't regret this. I know I'm weird and the majority of the FNaF fandom would probably not accept me but I stand my ground, Melon is adorable

In case it's not obvious enough, they're licking the other person's 'flavor' and I don't think this is the most suggestive drawing I've posted on this platform, believe it or not-

I'm actually glad I finished it because now I can show what's changed! Mellow looks pretty different, Add and I redesigned him. I gave Cotton some gloves since he felt pretty naked compared to him- Oh! And I gave him cheeks!

It's a weird mandella effect, but I was under the impression he had cheeks the whole time? It was mind-blowing when I looked at his original drawing. So, I just had to give him cheeks

Alright now that we've gotten the cringy stuff out of the way- Oh wait, no, actually, there's more. If you find FNaF cringy, that is

You see, a little ol' game came out pretty recently. Nothing special, just oh you know, friGGIN SECURITY BREACH

We've been waiting two years for it, the wonderful, the truly unique, the one and only masterpiece!

...Littered with bugs and game-breaking glitches and crashes. But it's pretty and it's huge! And hey, I personally really enjoyed watching playthroughs of it. It's got many flaws, too many to count, like they should've postponed it a month, but goddamn if it isn't charming as fuck

I had to make fan art. I'm not sorry-

And nobody told me I'd like it so much?? I?? I'm not good at accurate lighting but, fuck, I'm actually way too proud of this

He looks adorable, it's messy, it's pretty, I can't stop looking at it, somebody help me-

And that's not the only picture I drew of Paint! (that's what I nicknamed him to make it easier)

What if Gregory gave him a bandaid? This. This would happen. At least in my view

Gosh, just, I adore Paint so much. People can make fun of us for viewing him as a fatherly figure but dammit, I wish he was my dad- He's so wholesome! And I have daddy issues, so it works out-

Anyway, that's all the FNaF for the day, I promise- Though I've said this in past art dumps without realizing I actually had one more FNaF picture to show later- But I'm 99% sure this time!

I don't really have a segue for these next couple drawings- But! It wouldn't be an art dump from me if it didn't include a redraw or a redesign!

Asterisk. This yandere son of a bitch needed an update. Not because I had any particular problem with his design but because something felt off- I dunno how to explain

I'm not too happy with this redesign but I can safely say it's better! Kinda looks like he's wearing pajamas, which isn't what I was going for- But his hair and skin are definitely better! Plus he gets a sword update? Heck yeah, man

I really wanted to change his eye color. I have too many OCs who have random turquoise eyes for no reason besides me liking the color. I think the new eyes fit his design more!

You thought I was done? Well, insert some random stock maniacal laugh here because you baffle me with that expectation-

Oh, sweet Xeon, he was left out all this time. Val and Tempest have gotten redesigns, what about him?

...Okay, I'll be honest, his design wasn't as bad as theirs so for a while I didn't consider it. But then I had nothing to do in school so I started and finished it on my computer and of course Imma go overboard!

Look at this pure literal sunshine. I wanted to give him a casual outfit he could skateboard in but at the same time make it look like he's still royal. Dunno why he doesn't just put a normal shirt on, maybe he's lazy, maybe he wants to get sweaty in his royal attire on purpose? No clue even though I'm his creator!

The point is, he looks precious. His boots are awesome because I can never help myself with boots, I may have gone a little too far with the star theme but I kinda think he'd go overboard himself! I was tempted to put a third color in his design but I had no ideas and my matchy-loving heart was scared .w.

We're almost done! These next drawings are kinda related to redesigns? You'll see what I mean-

I had this old species some of my long-time readers might remember. They were called Silhouettes, basically boogeymen dressed in normal people skin without the power to feel if they were out of the skin. Or something. I dunno, the whole concept was honestly confusing even for me, which is the main reason I just dumped them

...So anyway, Add took the only Silhouette characters I had! He was already given Lake, and why keep the rest in my hands if I wasn't gonna use them?

But, of course, they had to be revamped almost completely, since two of them looked exactly like my characters

These guys! Ah, the memories. Add worked hard on their new personalities and descriptions and I got to work! It was a ton of fun, lemme tell ya

And here they are! Some important info before I dive into their designs; these three are Lake's younger brothers now and they're the Silhouette family because, well, that's their last name! Cheeky :>

We have Silk, whose profession is um...not family-friendly, I'll leave it at that. I really adore his dark colors and heart theme!

Ink probably changed the most from looking like a carbon copy of Shae. As his name suggests, he has a hobby related to ink, calligraphy! He probably wrote that quote on his shirt himself

And finally, my personal favorite, Shade! Just, gosh, I absolutely love his design, probably his colors the most. Just the purple with the yellow and red is so fucking pretty, why is he so pretty???

Oh and about Shade! He's actually gonna date Eden. Eden's been lonely for too long and they're around the same age. Plus, I thought it'd be funny since I used to kinda ship Eden and Nala, and Shade was connected to Nala

This next drawing is basically the same context! Only this time, the characters I 'redesigned' are just my OCs but...different

A while back I drew Topaz and later Zander as Pink Fairies. As you may know, Pink Fairies are uh, pretty suggestive and horny. But looking back at those drawings, I didn't really do much with their clothing, so I thought I'd do them justice this time around!

Warning for uh, shirtless men? Nothing new for me, but still-

I can't convey how much I love this drawing. I dunno why I like it so much, I'm just so proud of it!

We have Zander with ironically the most amount of clothing on and dammit, he's cute as fuck. Those gloves are just yes. And I made him thicc! I just thought I'd point that out because my style when it comes to hips has gotten a lot more realistic. I can no longer draw abnormally thicc thighs without finding it odd-

And then Topaz, obviously shirtless like his original drawing, only difference being that I've gotten better at drawing abs and they no longer look like bagels! Hopefully- He's also way taller here than he should be, but oh well

And finally, who slipped in there? It's Solar! Man, I haven't drawn him in so long, he looks like a completely different person in my current style- Anyway, Sun probably dared him to change into a Pink Fairy and put that outfit on, probably why her reaction in the picture is so excited

It might be a weird thing to fixate on, but I just kinda like how they're all different despite it being the same concept. Like the shade of pink, Zander's being darker and more desaturated, Topaz's the lightest, Solar's a bright fuchsia, or how the brightness of their pants are different, or the fishnet density differing, stuff like that I'm really proud of!

Alright, I'll stop geeking out about hot men now and move on to the final couple of pictures! Neither are really that special, I just wanted to do the summary thing I did last year!

Some of the months had a plethora of options and then some just basically had nothing, so it was an interesting task! I definitely like all the drawings I featured, though! Kinda funny how it started and ended with a FNaF picture

And lastly, the most important part of these chapters!

This is Jimmy. Jimmy's my sister's kitten, almost a year old. She brought him over for Christmas and he was the most angelic and demonic little thing at the same time quq I loved him but sometimes he got on our nerves- So the quote in the picture pretty much sums it up!

He's a l o a f

Anyhoo, that's it! Happy early New Year everyone!
