I have to say, James' drawing skills are top-notch :P LOVE the little stickers and comments by Scorpius! And LOL at their cats being called Thor and Loki XD siblings, I take it? XD And Teddy, ahahha, he looks so haughty and hipstery I can't even. ♥ James you adorable blushy freckled thing.

[epithalamium]

Thank you! James and his drawing skills are pretty flattered. ;D I can't get over how hipstery you and Muge made Teddy appear, really, so I thought I'd jump in the bandwagon too. XD

There's a bit of a story about Thor and Loki catlings: they're based on two of my kittens and they think they're siblings (probably: they're growing up together now and suckled from the same mother) except the cat only gave birth to one kitten. My brother picked Loki up from the streets, and I had to name them, so it's a bit of a joke, really. XD

Hah- Oh mystery artist, you make me happy like no other.
This was such a cute idea, and in execution it just worked so well!
I've been looking forwards to that brush pen, and it didn't disappoint. There is something much more casual and rough to your lines here which just works so well with the premise of the whole thing. I think you just managed to pick the perfect medium and style whether by fluke or ultra sneaky planning.
But the freckles! And the blushing! And the ponytail! That's it, I give up :D
(I didn't want to have to play favourites- but Scorpius... Well, you know what I'm getting at already haha)

Ah, thanks so much! I haven't used brush pens much, so I had no idea what I was doing, tbh, but I needed that 'casual' cartoony look just so it'd look like James 'drew' them. XD I'm glad you think it worked, though!

(Hee, I didn't even expect Scorpius to be this fun!)

Oh, that's really charming! Wonderful drawings and I love the little sticky notes, scratch thoroughs, and other things that make it real. Really nicely done.

[epithalamium]

Thanks so much! (Although why James uses such cute little sticky notes still remains a mystery. XD)

[susannah_wilde]

I love this! It's witty, especially Scorpius' snarky comments, sticky notes, and scratch outs, and the drawings of Teddy and James are lovely. I've read two of the books mentioned, but you've made me curious to read the rest. Great job!

[epithalamium]

Hee, thanks so much! :D I tried thinking of as many books as I could, to make it a 12 days of Christmas thing, but could only come up with those mentioned here, haha. They could be great fun, though, no matter what James said.

[sisi_rambles]

Oh this is so lovely! All the comments and notes and pictures are so cute.

[epithalamium]

Ah, thanks so much! <3
