Merry Xmas illo from THE CHASTE AND THE CHAINED (plus older EMPOWERED Xmas Patreon pieces)! (Patreon)

Merry Christmas, dear Patrons, with this morning's hastily cranked out "Xmas card" illo featuring the Paladin and Elf Mage from fantasy test project The Chaste and the Chained:

Whilst grimly slogging my way through the Paladin's outfit, I can tell you that I was definitely thinking, "No way I'm drawing this g-d costume a few hundred more times." Yeahp, even though I really do love these starcrossed characters, I clearly need to find someone else to draw 'em, as  noted in a post from November querying Patrons' opinions on the topic.

Anyhoo, figured I might as well trot out the previous few Patreon Xmas illos I did, including this Empowered all-timer featuring that ol' horny goat Krampus:

And a less ambitious Empowered piece from a few years earlier:

Ehh, that one might be an inferior illo, but the tan-colored tinted paper worked better as a medium than the grayer tone of the Krampus piece's paper, don't you think? (Just a tad brighter, I think.)

Anyhoo, thanks for your support, and I'll blather at you later, folks!

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Ehh, I'll be closing out the monthly supply of Life Drawing and Distressed Damsels (for the $5+ tiers) posts this week with all-new artwork, as well as hitting up the Exclusive Monthly Bonus Post for the $10 & $20 tiers over the upcoming weekend.  (And I miiiiight try to squeeze in another extra post as 2023 wraps up, if time allows.)
