Christmas has always been my favourite time of year, the one or two days a year that still hold their magic no matter how jaded I get about everything else in the world, and when I don't need an excuse to just be a kid again for awhile.

Why do I bring this up? Well, to me and many other people, it's also a time to spend with your loved ones...and that part is especially significant to me this year. This is going to be the first Christmas I will spend with a girlfriend, not to mention one who actually really loves me back and wants to stick around (which is a first). Needless to say, this is going to be a very, VERY special holiday for me this year, and I'm extremely happy. <3

The wonderful girl who's been making me so happy lately is Trinket:
She's the beauty in this sketch that got me drawing for the first time in months! She's been doing me a world of good, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found her. I'm slowly getting my act together thanks to her making me feel like life is worthwhile again. I've never been so happy or healthy in my entire life.

This is rather sappy, but I just wanted to share this really, really happy moment in my life with everyone. Hope everyone else is having even slightly as good of a holiday season as me!

Also, after New Years I think, I may start taking commissions again. Don't quote me on that, though.
