I have commissions open over on Ko-fi for all your character emotes and portrait needs. Check out more information there, or feel free to DM me for other questions.
I was reminiscing about some old artwork I did, and I remembered these pieces I made trying to emulate the 'room' of my three sharkfolk characters, Roberto, Tiago, and Aria, in Animal Crossing, according to each of their personalities and backstories. 🦈✨
Here are the rooms I made in the game so I can draw over them! ✨
This reminded me that I've never talked about or shared anything about the island I made in Animal Crossing, here's the code if you want to dream about the island: DA-0756-3143-1456
Nothing special, but there are four shark figures hidden on my island that I made, if you can find them! 🦈🦈🦈🦈👀
Happy Calibration, @shownomarcy! I was lucky enough to get someone I know personally, so I had the opportunity to pull a little sneaky and depict a canon scene. A little story on that under the cut.
Thanks again to @shiftingpath for organizing another Exalted Secret Santa!
So, originally, when I had heard who my assignment was, I was pumped. Marcy is a player in the game I ST, so immediately I went through my mental highlight reel for her March Lord and her shenanigans. I wasn't eager to have to be drawing a kangaroo familiar, but sometimes you have to move outside of your comfort zone. I braced myself, settling on a probable scene, then headed over to the Secret Santa journal to grab references.
You can probably guess by the lack of kangaroo that I have not drawn a March Lord.
I've known Marcy a long time, and I expected that some of her other characters might have been in the journal, but I didn't expect that the one character I knew literally nothing about would be the only one listed.
Granted, most of the time for Secret Santa, you don't have context for the other person's character, but I was so close! There had to be some way I could glean some insight to make this gift super special.
Of course.
I know Marcy's wife.
Turns out, I don't know anything about this character because she's from a one-on-one game, but Marcy's wife knows who the other player is. She does some sleuthing of her own, getting in touch with that player, and sends me the description of an introductory scene, with the following image as inspiration.
(I don't know the source so sorry for that)
Though, as described, it didn't really lean into the body horror stuff that give liminals their charm(s), it was too great of a jumping off point not to use. I thank the other player for providing so much to work with,
I should have known that the sanctity of Secret Santa would extend two degrees separate of anyone actually involved. Bad opsec on me.
And then I took entirely too long putting it all together. But, during all that time, my conspirators allege to have kept everything under wraps, so I had to give them all this credit. Frankly, it was Too Silly of a situation to keep to myself.
As thanks for reading, here's a minor alt that happened as a result of me not knowing where blue is on a color wheel.
Thank you all for coming out once again! It was a rough year for many of us, and I'm very late on getting this post out. My apologies for slow replies and difficulty communicating, and my deepest thanks for everyone who came out and spent their valuable time making a gift for someone else this season.
It's always great to have new faces and new characters, so thank you for taking the time to check out the wonderful work by participants old and new.
Thank you all for your efforts and happy Calibration. I hope this year is kinder to us all than the start of it has been, and I hope to see you next year.

Happy Calibration, @artbydungeon! I love a cranky old mentor figure, so I immediately knew I wanted to draw Razor Fang showing someone what-for. No better way to hone your strength and get back into top martial arts form than some arm wrestling against an unsuspecting demon!
