NikNack - Snow Day

*NoFKsweregiven's colored version here:

What's this? . . . could it be? . . . NIKNAACCKKK. . . . and art from me in general. PFFT.

Alright, so this is some lineart for to color because she's letting me color the lineart of this: . . . since I love it so much and her lines are just so color-able. :U

So when she colors it I'll post a link. Orrrr you can make it easy on yourself and watch her if you haven't already because she's awesome, and I love her, and I know you totally want to. Do it, or there won't be cookies.

I'd just like to say . . . holy crap, I actually ended up drawing this. Innnn six hours (including side tracking like: concept sketches, reference finding for clothes, music hunting, Neflix, and Facebook, PFFT). I'm just a little surprised because I always say I'll do something, and I never actually do. Meh.

I'm pretty happy with this, however, I drew it a little smaller than I had wanted, which resulted in less detailed facial features and folds (for the scarf, for example). I'm more or less alright with their faces since they're about the size of a penny, but it bothered me. Eh. That's why they're a little off.

. . . and that tree legitimately took like, a minute. I wanted this to be up and finished before I went to bed, so . . . bahahahaa. I do like how it frames this though. I made sure it looked somewhat like the concept tree I had drawn out first.

I'm getting a little more comfortable drawing Jack and his gangly self. I was always a little off-put about drawing him because I thought that I'd need references of super tall, awkward people in order to do so, but that isn't really the case, I guess. I just kind of have to exaggerate his features, and then it seems to work alright. Same goes for Nikki. I mean, she's shorter and curvier than a lot of references I find if I need them.

JACK IS A BEANPOLE. Annnnd Nikki's supposed to be wearing tights or leggings under her skirt, so that way she isn't completely freezing her ass off.

I used this as a reference for the poses: [link] . . . which is ultimately the reason why this ended up with a background. LOL.

I may color this too at some point. We'll see! XD
