Wow, this got out WAY sooner than I expected. Guess Spitfire getting out early might have had something to do with it.

Anyway, for my major Christmas picture this year I decided to draw something a little different.

Given I've still been in somewhat of a Smurf mood thanks to the second movie's recent release, and my mom's work's Christmas display I helped her construct, something Smurf related seemed kinda obvious to me.

This actually went through quite a few design changes. At one point it wasn't going to be The Nutcracker, but rather the Steadfast Tin Soldier. But since that's not Christmas related, I went for Nutcracker to keep the basic premise alive.
