Y'all always gotta vote for the complicated ideas, don'tcha? :P

It's okay. I actually really love pictures where one character is apparently getting used by a ton of others for some reason, so I was pretty happy to see this idea win even though it involved by far the most work. 

Some of the smaller characters got a bit messed up during inking but I should hopefully be able to clean them up a bit while colouring. I'm also messing a bit with line weights- normally I just make the outline thick and the inner details thin, but I'm playing with thick on the shadow side and thin in the light, at least on the main characters. This is hardly a revolutionary idea, it's fairly common, but I haven't done it super often myself so lets give it a looksee. 

So yeah, as per your vote, here's a bunch of reindeer chillaxin' after a job well done pulling that heavy sleigh around, taking turns making use of the fox girl when the urge arises. 

Hope this is looking alright so far!

Gosh dang more than alright! Maybe for next month I'll support someone else's idea since you ended up putting two of mine in, just to give everyone a good chance to have their ideas heard and put to paper. So what are your plans for the blank space in this one? Got anything you want to fill it with specifically, or use it to add different lighting gradients between foreground and background? I guess 'blank space' isn't quite right, more like 'floor space'. I just mean the space between where the foreground characters are and the nearest background characters to them, the floor space in between that. Maybe something along the lines of discarded jingle bell harnesses from the team?

To be clear, I didn't exactly put two of yours in, someone else liked one of your ideas and put it up as their own suggestion. Though I did quite like pretty much all of 'em. :P I'm not exactly sure what you mean by blank space, I thought I did a decent job of filling this one up. x3 I guess there's some open space on the right side of the page, but I figured that was okay to keep the interest focused and prevent the picture from feeling cluttered. If that isn't the space you're talking about then I'm not sure what you mean, feel free to elaborate!
