Merry Christmas: Year End Blowout

Sorry again for the lack of posts. December is always a rough one for me. Wanted to get in some Mirage time in, so I spent today surfing round sites and drawing to get some practice. Most of these came from the drawingboard and some from Character Design Blog Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.
