Nutty Nutcracker released

A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas is available now!

The first draft of this image had the wooden cuckoo sweetly in love with the moon on a neighboring clock's dial. In his downtime, and there must be plenty of it, he lyrically wrote love poems. But if he's truly cuckoo, and with a vast knowledge ticking devices' interiors, building bombs seemed so much more interesting. I may change it yet again.

Drosselmeyer exploration

A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas will be released soon, so I thought I'd show a couple of character sketches prepared for this version's equivalent to the kindly, grandfatherly Drosselmeyer. I *might* have been thinking of Wallace Shawn with that fellow in the upper left.
