... Well, I don't think I would recommend doing it in the middle of February, since Christmas is still ten months away, and that's an awfully long time for August to be standing in one place without moving! Just because he's capable of supporting himself on his hind legs doesn't mean he can do it forever!

Continuing with pursuing the goal I've set for myself to reupload at least one of my commissions to my account per week; behold, the third and final Christmas themed piece of artwork involving August that was purchased last year! It seems that I've successfully managed to get them all submitted before the conclusion of winter, and with around a month and a half to spare, give or take! Although technically this one wasn't even finished until somewhere partway through January anyway, so it ended up being more of a belated Christmas illustration.

This idea was once again masterfully brought life by the talented artistic siblings, Furiarossa and Mimma (otherwise known by their shared account,  Furiarossa, on Furaffinity), and depicts August partaking in some joyful Christmas festivities with a character who hasn't made any appearances in my gallery thus far: a Garchomp going by the name of Keith, occasionally simply referred to as "'Chomp" due to the incredibly prolonged stretch of time it took before his true name was revealed to me, who belongs to my brother,  BugRights! You may have already caught a glimpse of him if you've ever taken the time to check his account, as he also reuploaded a submission featuring Keith recently. I really need to get around to commissioning more stuff involving him and August since they're really close friends, but it's hard to find the opportunity for it when I have so many other miscellaneous concepts I want drawn. Regardless, this image came out spectacularly! I'm particularly fond of the background — the amount of details incorporated into the living space really helps the scene come to life.

Having trouble finding a deciduous tree to serve as the perfect Christmas tree for this year? Never fear! If it turns out that you're unable to locate one, August might be willing to serve as a substitute, free of charge! Perhaps it's not the same as having a stocky trunk whose branches are covered from too to bottom in pine needles, but the benefit of having a case of seasonal dysphoria is that the leaves on your antlers are fully grown in the middle of the Christmas holidays, providing friends with a nice array of yellow-green foliage to decorate!

In particular, August has taken it upon himself to introduce Keith to the magic of Christmas tree decorating this year, with a special twist: he's the Christmas tree! Granted, I'm not actually sure if 'Chomp was already aware of the holiday season beforehand, but either way, they both seem to be enjoying themselves! A variety of colourful, sparkling ornaments already hang from the branches on August's antlers, and it seems that Keith hasn't stopped there, as he's currently occupied with wrapping his Sawsbuck companion in wires of red and green Christmas lights and silver tinsel! And, well, if it's too early for Christmas, I'm sure you can also visualize the reverse where 'Chomp is undecorating him as well.

But whose house is this? The world may never know...
