Monthly Drawing 10: I'm Dreaming of a White (furred) Christmas
Added 2018-01-02 02:02:49 +0000 UTCIt was just after midnight on Christmas eve and Duncan McAllistair chuckled as he finished tying the giant red bow around his littlest sisterβs favorite stuffed animal, βBlizzardβ.

Then he tied the other bow around his neck. He felt like a fool but, before he could do anything else, Blizzard disappeared with a soft sound in a cloud of clove-smelling sparkly smoke.
βWhat the- βDuncan began but was suddenly struck mute by the sparkles that surrounded him and the strange swelling of his handsβ¦
Art note: Trying a new "magic" sfx out for the clothes. Got to keep things fresh. What do you think?
