Well, it's December---time for some Christmas-themed pencils with art (unfortunately) attached!
Anyway...
Seems the wolves are thinking about Christmas. Let's see what's on their minds...
WOLFMOM (sweetly): "Lupe, I need you to go out back and cut down a tree for Christmas"
LUPE (EDITED): "Can't we just buy one from the 7-Eleven [like we used to]?"
WOLFMOM (matter-of-fact): "With what money, dear? We have you to cut a tree"
LUPE (sighful): "[sigh] Why do we need a tree, anyway?"
WOLMOM: "For the little ones"
MAE (echoing bumptiously): "Yeah, for the little ones!"
WOLFMOM (gingerly; to Lupe): "I know life doesn't seem fair right now, but let's do the best we can with what we have, ok?"
LUPE (sobbing): "I miss him, Mom"
WOLFMOM: "...I know"
Poor Lupe, he's not yet in the Christmas spirit. It's not entirely his fault---Lupe misses the wolf dad. Being the eldest, Lupe remembers what it was like having a dad around. He remembers, too, when his family could afford things like Christmas trees.
Lupe really doesn't want to be 'the man of the trailer'; Lupe's both resentful and confused by it---sometimes he blames himself for the situation; sometimes he blames his dad; sometimes he blames his mom.
The wolf mom is understanding if not a little harsh with Lupe---she's wanting to be both a mother and a father for him (and isn't sure how to).
As a disclaimer (esp. for that one watcher---he knows who he is), I myself do not have daddy issues ...and if I did, I wouldn't want to discuss them (so please don't DM me about it). :3
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "As for you, Chippy, don't even try to add depth to these stupid toon characters!
Additionally, you've been on a quickie fixation lately---get back to ACO!
Your ACO art was bad, but unlike these 'quickies', you at least you spent more than five minutes on it"
:(
ACO has been triggering my anxiety lately. I have no explanation for it, but I've become oddly perfectionistic with ACO---much more so than one with my (extreme dearth of) skill should be.
Yes, quickie art is intentionally unpolished, but I don't make it because I'm lazy: I could easily say to hell with art entirely.
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Triggering your anxiety? Man up, bruh ...And don't stop drawing, Chippy. Newbie artists yet relying on Christopher Hart tutorials need your art to feel better about their own shortcomings (ie, 'Mine's still better than Chippy's---and he's been drawing for years!'). They at least have potential and a reason to keep plugging---don't discourage them!"
:(
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Pathetic"
Pencil...
The featured pencil is unbranded, but has metallic-red Christmas trees and snowflakes on it. :3
