A very merry Christmas

Description

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
A yeti is behind thee!

OMG, Dib has a traditional, functional family! Or at least he does in my dreams. =D

I couldn't get a vibrant purple with my watercolors so I went over their hair with pastel pencil. Then I went ahead and outlined their facial features in pencil too.

Dib's son in this picure, Mem, is the invention of :iconjoemerl:. He's about 5 here.

This is my last deviation for 2009 unless I decide to do a quick sketch. Merry Christmas!

Ooh! I've been waiting for this one! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d…" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> And it looks awesome. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> And look, they have a dog. Oh, and a yeti! I have to say, that's an absolutely brilliant touch. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t…" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Seriously, it takes what on its own would be a nice, happy picture and makes me want to laugh out loud, it's so clever. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g…" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" />

The colors are great, especially on the snow---does light on snow really look that pretty? I wouldn't know. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f…" width="15" height="15" alt=":-(" title=":-( (Sad)" /> And Mem is cute with that little gap tooth---at first I thought he was wearing braces. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)" /> If I had to point out something I'd change, I'd say that Dib's legs are probably too long for his body---but then, that's actually fairly normal for Jhonen Vasquez's style. It does make him look a bit odd next to Gretchen, though.

Anyway, overall assessment: I really like this! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Thanks again for using Mem.

Also, randomly: I use a lot of smileys, and writing a critique is harder than I thought. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" />
