FINALLY DONE WITH THIS OMGGG xD If you couldn't tell, it was supposed to be Christmas art but then stuff kept happening and delaying it, then I reformatted my computer, and then January was a wealth of constant illness xD Seriously, the first half of January was more sickness than I had the previous three months combined :'D ((and I have a cough/ticklish throat at moment)) but I stuck it out and finally finished!!! This was like doing 9 full-color images in one since I made each at twice the resolution as seen here ((I like to make stuff big and shrink them down to hide errors xD and it makes lineart look better, too)). I really want to make more comics and this made excellent practice x3 I learned a lot from it, like what to do, what not to do and what DEFINITELY not to do xD;; I already am planning my next comic of this type, for our Nexus character intros <3 I enjoyed this a TON despite it taking me so long xD Maybe next time will be faster. MIDORI I HOPE YOU LIKES IT SGJKDKLHJDKLHKLJHD. Yeah, his gift isn't all that amazing xD though designing that piece of jewelry may have taken longer than anything else in this LOL. Levi isn't a girly girl who is big on jewelry or anything... but she likes it when Matty picks out something special since it's just for her |D Besides the fact this is future!arc type stuff and Toto becomes kind of a craftsman/artisan when he's older and that gives Matty easy access to customized art at a discount /shot. The scenario is they're visiting Neshkam for the Winter Holidays celebrated by the Guilds sometime in the future when they're pretty far along in their relationship x3 I don't know what building they're at lolololol but it was fun to draw all angles of a single scene!

In the beginning of Nexus, Matthew isn't that big on symbolism ((he's quite the literal character in most cases, though he has symbolism he subconsciously uses, like the poppy, and he has an unintentional poetic streak in him)) but he becomes more influenced by Toto in this way over time in this way. Here, he likes the meanings of birth stones xD They ended up strangely relevant in this case, so I thought it'd be fun to make a pendant or something using them.

Levine's birthday is in May, and the stone is the Emerald. Meanings: Love, success, happiness and goodness are some of the meanings associated with the Emerald.

Matthew's birthday is in September, and the stone is the Sapphire. Meanings: The Sapphire symbolizes clear thinking, wisdom, serenity, purity and truth.

It's pretty neat that Levi's rock is green and Matty's is blue xD I couldn't help myselfffff. And the gold ring is supposed to not be even all the way around since it's supposed to be like an annular solar eclipse. The feather is Toto's touch /shot

Sorry it took so long to do... Midori I hope it was worth the wait

The last panel I made was actually the top one ((I skipped around a lot xD)) and I think it turned out to be my favorite :'D I tried making it all look like anime screenshots.

Happy Holidays everyone LOL /late
