Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, or don't celebrate at all, I wish you all a wonderful winter. Enjoy the company of your friends and family, eat some great food, and appreciate the changing of the seasons. I hope the upcoming year brings improvement to all our lives.
I hadn't planned on making a Holiday piece this year, but found some encouragement from and changed my mind. So here, have a little canon/fanchar shipping featuring Bark the Polar Bear and Holly the Fallow Deer. Bark, being a polar bear, is enjoying cooling off in a nice, frigid pit cut in a frozen pond. Holly joins him, but only after donning a thermal wetsuit and making some hot chocolate. X3 Love is full of compromises, right?
Small style experiment with Bark's look. Took away the flesh-toned face and made his head more bear-like. Yay? Nay?

I like how you draw Bark. He looks really laid back and relaxed here. And Holly's eyelashes are adorable. <3
It's hard for me not to look at this picture and feel like Holly must be chilly. I know, she's got a wetsuit and cocoa, but still. Hee. XD

She probably can't stay in there long, thermal wetsuit or not. xD But she can accommodate him for a little while...

I do too. Not everything needs a Sonic-face to fit in the Sonic universe. e_e

Holly is so sweet! And I'm sure Bark appreciates it! I like the design of Barks muzzle and paws. It's fun seeing Sonic characters without gloves.

You did a great job re-designing him. I prefer this look to his official one. I also think the size difference between the two makes this all the more endearing. Nice job!

^-^ I like it too. I Dunno why his FURRY face is flesh-toned, that makes no sense.

Haha, this looks oddly.. cozy? XD Even though it's arctic water.

^-^ I'm sure it's cozy in its own way.

I say yay to the new look. And this looks friggin adorable with Holly and the look on Barks face. XD Also nice ice. I don't think I can ever make something like that right now without it looking like blocks. XD

And Yea to the new look.

I say"yay" to your Bark re-design; he comes as close to actually looking sexy in this picture as I imagine I will ever see him get. X3 I waffle a bit on whether I love the fade-out effect you use beneath the water or not, but the central picture is so heartfelt and sweet that I really can't complain about it one way or the other. I also love the little details; the snowflakes, the ripples in the water, Bark's claws...all very nice and crisp and well-done. ^_^
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you too, my dearest friend. ^_^

Shes the reason the polar bears are dying O_O
No, this is awesome I've become quite a fan of Bark lately and I don't like fan/official couples but this one just works.

I think canon/fanchar can work if done correctly.

... you know I'm really happy I started something with this pairing, if I was an inspiration at all. They're so cute together! Plus I like the changes with Bark -- he looks more like he should, in my opinion. ^^
