X-Mas Artwork
The task we were given was to create an artwork emulating a Christmas cards that was inspired from a "seasonal image".
I took that to mean specifically another Christmas card, and so I looked into them.

(What inspired the first piece)
During my looks into Christmas cards the first one to catch my eye was a handmade card, when I saw it I knew that whatever I was going to modify it into I would select it anyway. The first thought that came to me from the image of 4 mountains was an online animated series called Tankmen, which I was reminded of because of it having collapsed buildings in the background and a tall watch tower.
The 2nd artwork was made because I found a "gag" Christmas card with Father Christmas in a bikini, with cut-outs on the bra, saying "Ho Ho Hoe". And there was a snowman who had genitals. When I saw that I had to respond the gag with a gag by making both of them into the crewmates from Among Us.
The 3rd was just made on a wim, I didn't look at any cards but while looking somewhere else I learned of something about an entertainer named Momosuzu Nene and I just felt like I had to make something for them.
4th was unfinished, I found a card that had animals surrounding a Christmas tree, but while drawing it I just couldn't draw what I was gonna replace the animals with so I stopped at that.

(The lower 1/3 of the piece weren't thought of so there's a lack of colouring at that area)
I came up with the building on the left and the fence from the setting of the fan made animation "Tankmen Infinity".
Since this is for the holidays I added some seasonal details, like Christmas lights in the watch tower or inside the left building.
The colours were taken from the original inspiration. I was trying to figure out how to put in a 4th thing to make purple but I couldn't figure out how to make it fit in good, my attempt was in the sketch, it was blocked by the watch tower, so I scrapped it.
