FULL VIEW, PUH-LEEZE! For those of you with the old 800x600 screen resolutions, I seriously apologise.

Whoo! It took me a month or so of non-stop work (not literally, I took time off to eat, sleep, school, and do just a little cyber-socializing) to complete, but it was so worth it! There are 66--count 'em--66 characters in this picture! None appear twice, except in one instance where a character is holding a picture that includes himself.

This is a picture dedicated to friends, acquaintances, and even a few people who probably don't even know I was on their page. All this picture goes out to, in alphabetical order, are:



That's 40 people exactly!

..., !!!

Look through all of those and guess which characters are dedicated to whom.

...

Go on.


...

Give up?

...

Okay, then. I'll start from the top. For the record, I drew these in random order, so the characters being on top don't mean they were drawn first, nor does it mean the ones on the bottom were drawn last.

Okay, on top we see Oel, Smorph, and Zorro, three characters that Heffy (~GoombaJoe) originally created for the animated series Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I dressed them up for the holidays, Oel as Rudolph and Smorph and Zorro as elfs. Although Heffy revamped Oel's look to be more lion-like, I preferred drawing him as his simple imaginary form (and yes, Oel's snarling death threats at me for what I did to him ). Smorph and Zorro, on the other hand, are drawn in their humanoid forms, though I believe Heffy's had those for them since before he started using them for things other than Foster's. Smorph is a shape shifter with a mysterious past, and Zorro is a mischievous and fun-loving fox-like imaginary friend (or kitsune, depending on what fictional universe he's using him in) who can change between his human and fox forms at will.

Below them on the left-hand side of the deviation are Spencer Tracy (created by ~MetalMindSam) and Leslie Salem (created by yours truly), two OCs for Ben 10: Alien Force. Spencer is part ectonurite (Ghostfreak), though no one knows how exactly. He has trouble controlling his powers, and he's also mildly paranoid; since he can turn invisible, he often believes there could be others with that same power lurking around. Leslie, my character, is a mana-manipulator, a kind of magic-like power (though whether his powers are Anodite like Gwen's or interdimentional like Hex's and Charmcaster's is unknown). He's a sweet little guy, though a bit of a doormat sometimes, and he really looks up to Gwen.

If you go to the right of the alien spawns' heads, you'll run into Max Night, an EarthBound OC created by ~mrsaturn123. Max seems like a bit of a sour and aloof boy on the surface, but he's just a kid with a troubled past. His signature move is PK Shade, a PSI ability that shrouds the opponent in darkness leaving them momentarily confused.

To the right of him is Ana, a Mother/EarthBound Zero character once played by =Pai-tan on the EarthBound RolePlay. Further to the right is her significant other, once and still played by =stormgale in the EBRP, Ninten with his favorite cookie of all time (at least, the way Stormy plays him), the Oreo. I drew the bag he's holding partially transparent for a side-view of the cookies so you can see they are, indeed, Oreos.

Ana is holding a piece of mistletoe, below which is Alice and Jeremy, two Foster's OCs. Jeremy and Alice were created by me and *CartoonBlob, respectively, to be the dog and cat imaginary friend versions of Jeremie Belpois and Aelita Stones of Code Lyoko. The two of them are each actually only a foot tall. We play Jeremy and Alice regularly in Foster's RPs, and the two even have their own "pupkins."

Below those two and Max are Otto Osworth, a main character of Time Squad, and Audrey Sternwell, the bratty little daughter of Tuddrussel and Sheila whom I had created and given to ~TheLadyRaven to control.

Next to Otto and Audrey are three Avatar: The Last Airbender characters owned by two different people. The kid in the middle is An, designed by Taiyo (~fayedove) to be Aang and Toph's youngest child. To the left and right of him (our left and right) are Tsuki and Taiyou, Romy's (=Mumy-chan) Zutara twinspawns. Try guessing which elements each bends. Anyway, An--proving himself his father's son--shows off a familiar trick to the twins. And yeah, I so gave Tai that look!

The next three rows of characters are in dedication to ~G-Force4's Code Lyoko ACC Tournament which is currently in "halftime hiatus," mainly due to most of the semi-finalists experiencing technical difficulties (LAST MINUTE COMMENT EDIT: though it appears two ouf of four have managed to get their comics up by now). Of those of you who haven't read in my previous dedications to this tournament, the setting is in the beginning of Season 3, and GF4's character, Jin Ishiyama (Yumi's twin), has been put out of commission due to a permanent eye injury caused by XANA blowing up his computer screen. Over the past year or so, the team had been acquiring "reserve members" who have offered backup to the team, not even knowing about each other's roles in the team. How, the core members have finally told them of each other, and now the reserve members have to fight each other for Jin's vacant spot and for their memories. Because, once they get the boot, Jeremie's gonna pull an M.I.B. on them all at the end. The characters of the tournament, featured on the picture in no particular overall order (with creators and contest status listed; Moonscoop means it's a show character) are as follows:

ROW ONE: Kitsune Raiku (created by =foxikun, dropped out prior to contest), Vix (~silver-vixi's, lost to Ichigo first round), Ichigo Yasha (~AngelBolt's lost to Casilde second round), Jin Ishiyama (~G-Force4's, departing member), Yumi Ishiyama (Moonscoop's, core member), Draven Ridlon (~ShadowDragon99's, lost to Faustus first round), and Stinner Jonathan/Emily Hunts (~LinkG07's, lost to Chelsea first round).

ROW TWO: Jordan Wilde (created by *Zeakari, lost to Cassie second round), Jacob Faustus (*Wolfhanyou's, lost to Cyrus second round), Cyrus Cervantes (~SanguineWolf's semi-finalist), Jeremie Belpois (Moonscoop's, core member), Aelita "Stones" (Moonscoop's, core member), Malunis Manson (~Malunis', lost to Izz first round), Jenna Mackey (~Psychotic-Barbie's, lost to Cyrus first round), and Hikaru Tyris (!HikaruTyris's, lost to Casilde first round; bio link unavailable due to banishment and gallery wipe).

ROW THREE: Tommy Blankenship (created by me, technically not part of the tournament), Casilde Farefax (*Mewberries', semi-finalist), Odd Della Robbia (Moonscoop's, core member), James Della Robbia (~TheDemigodTraveler's [this is her new account], lost to Cassie first round), Ulrich Stern (Moonscoop's, core member), Izz Delamater (*cbizumi's, lost to Chelsea second round), Chelsea Cloud (*lyokolady's, semi-finalist), and Cassie Karyo (~annadgray's, semi-finalist).

Down another row to the left are two EarthBound series OCs. The one to the left is ~JonoBlue's Jonas, a 12-year-old boy from the town of Hamlet whose father works overseas. Soon after Jonas' dad sends him a fighter pilot helmet, he is reported missing and Jonas sets out to find him. I recently read a journal entry ~JonoBlue wrote that says he wants to change Jonas' look, but it's kind of too late for me to change what I have of him now. To the right (Jonas' left) is a character I made up, feeling that Jonas needed a Jeff to his Ness. Aiden (I chose that name, just 'cause it popped into my head randomly and it's different, so it just stuck ) is essentially my Christmas present to ~JonoBlue. Here's my idea for Aiden: He's a neighbor (not next-door neighbor, but still kind of close) of Jonas, and he's rather popular among the computer nerd crowd, but... eh, not so much outside that circle. He's a very skilled mechanic for his age, though he can be a bit naive. He also has a tendency to take some things said literally. Aiden can also be rather stubborn at times, making him seem rather difficult, though he can be a very loyal friend. He joins Jonas' party after using his mechanical ingenuity to save him from an ambush while Jonas is on his way out of Hamlet. Jono, if you want him, here he is, come and get him.

Beside the two Hamleters are two characters by *ShoJoJim and =Sersa777. Sersa's character is Gabriel Avila, a childish college boy from her Time Stop comic who loves to bake. So, he made some Christmas cookies, and Jim's character Steve, a cute little raccoon with a big appetite, has his eyes on them.

And below the Hamleters are a group of Mr. Saturns, also from the EarthBound series, zoom. In the middle of them is a relatively small Mr. Saturn that Paula named Mr. Ziggy in ~The-EverLasting-Ash's fanfic, "The Universe Will Die Without You," boing.

Below the Saturns are Taiki, Taiyo's elder Zutara spawn, and Amai, An's big sister. An and Amai do love each other dearly, but An enjoys nothing more than to wear at his sister's patience, particularly concerning her relationship with Taiki.

Next to Taiki and Amai is Code Lyoko main antagonist, XANA, in all her--that' right, her--evil glory. Female XANA is the brainchild of ~SylentNyte and has a relationship with her main Season 4 general, William Dunbar.

To the right of XANA and the Saturn creatures is iconic Nintendo character Luigi, accompanied by Foster's reoccurring secondary character, Cheese, an imaginary friend who likes chocolate milk as well as cereal. Take a guess as to who this is for!

~roseannepage's "little pinch-his-cheeks adorable gentleman," as she calls him , Jay (short of Jealousy), stands below Taiki and Amai. Jay's a shy young man and one of six brothers roughly the same age. Oh, and for the record, those aren't tattoos, they're birthmarks. What's he blushing about, you ask? Search me.

Next to Jay is Claus, the elder of the star twins in Nintendo's Mother 3 (or EarthBound 2, whatever you want to call it). Claus is looking at a picture of him and his brother, Lucas, and stealing a common line from =Dantelric's journals.

The duo to the upper right of the blow-up of the twin photo are Romy's Taang spawns. The girl is Lien, a naive and carefree but stubborn Airbender with a destiny no one saw coming. Her brother is Daichi, a headstrong but none too bright Earthbender with a soft spot for his little sister whom he tends to be overprotective of.

The little guy below the blow-up of the twin photo is an alien, and a last-minute addition to the deviation I'll admit. He's another of Sersa's characters, in fact her favorite from her Triple Moons series. I just felt Sparks needed some lovin' since Time Stop's been stealing all the attention. Perhaps Sparks is dancing because he's got that lovin' again, or perhaps it's just 'cause he loves to dance.

The two kids next to Sparks are Mac, main character of Foster's, and Kakayleea, ~ShinokaMyuh's OC. Kakay's overall a good girl who wants the best for everyone, but she can tend to be something of a wet blanket to some people. Kakay hasn't been used in awhile, as Shinoka doesn't really participate in Foster's RPs much anymore. She does, however, roleplay elsewhere with Heffy and me, and we have revamped our Foster's OCs for use outside of the Foster's universe, but Kakay doesn't seem to have gotten that treatment.

Now onto the final row of characters. To the far left is Giynes, OC for EarthBound created by ~ShadowLuigi34. Giynes is a rather interesting character, as he is in fact the biological son of Giygas and........ er, Ness. I know what you're thinking, but don't ask me, okay?

Next to Giynes is Blake, a character ~secretmelody07 created for her EarthBound 3 concept idea.

Next in line is Robert. Robert's a young boy attending Kadic in ~Technicaligy001's Code Lyoko comic, "Code: Retournez."

And then, next is Lincus! Yeah, Lincus, it's... just Link wearing Lucas' clothes, a concept by =RinkuRyuka12.

And... last but not least is the final Code Lyoko character... Alila Della Robbia! All I really know about ~timekitten's character is that she's Odd's daughter, and she goes to Lyoko. I assumed she inherrited her dad's style when I colored her.

--


Well, that's all 66 characters. On certain details I didn't know about, I would make an educated guess. So, if something doesn't look right, don't be afraid to speak up. I'm sorry if there were any characters I didn't do justice to when I drew them, but if you like what you see, I'll tell you in advance, you're welcome. If you didn't get a present in this deviation and feel you could've, I apologise to you, too.
