Hello, @handsometimr ! 'Tis I, Juricha, your Zecret Santa this year and I bring to you some gifts and Christmas cheer!

Prompt 1: Anything Akane/Junpei, bonus if they adopted a baby Quark post ZTD and uncle Aoi shows up.

This one was the hardest to draw because I wanted it to as cute and cozy as possible, but couldn't for the life of me think of a proper way to do so. Christmas Eve. The tree and decorations are all put up, Junpei is finishing up the preparations, and Akane is trying to put the kids — their twins, Rei and Nova, and adopted little Quark —  to sleep. But they are all too excited, because they know that Santa is coming tonight. So the only thing to do is to snuggle together in a big armchair and tell them some magical stories. After they fall asleep, Junpei finds this idyllic scene and decides to not disturb them, covers them up with a blanket and kisses them all goodnight, his heart sewling with love and joy. And who is that at the door?..

Prompt 2: The first Christmas Sigma/Diana spent together in Rhizome-9. My heart will shatter even more if Sigma's first Christmas without Diana is touched upon. But for Christmas cheer there's always Sigma/Diana's first Christmas together post ZTD, with Phi! I picked the more cheerful version this time, so I hope it's okay! I did my best to touch upon the opther timelines a bit, though! 

Phi visits Sigma and Diana on Christmas and finds out that they are now engaged! They spend a nice evening together. But if one looks closely, one can see the sinister reflections of many a horrible end — and sometimes with some happiness found — they might have met sometime, somewhere. Thank goodness they could find a happy ending to their story! Prompt 3: Anything with Maria, any depiction is cool w me! We need more of Carlos' sister. I drew a festive portrait of Maria, because we never see her in-game. I kinda got inspired by Maria Robotnik, with all the terminal illness and somebody trying to save the poor girls and screaming "Maria!" stuff.  

And I now kind of headcanon her to be a fellow Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 enjoyer, watchnig Carlos play for her. After she was cured, she went to Kurashikis' wedding together with her brother and made friends with Akane and the others. She got so inspired that she roped Carlos into studying Japanese. Akane and Junpei are proud of her. I think the pearls and the purple-pink colors suit her.

All three artworks were done with a new technique I picked up recently — buying alcohol ink and splattering it across the page, hoping it would not go somewhere I do not want it to go. Then coloring the pictrues with the alcohol markers proper, then adding a bit of ink, acrylic markers and pencil (I really like the Cretacolor pencil that I used for outilining Maria, I think it goes well with the lighter colors and not as overbearing as the darker liners) and editing them a bit after scanning. This year was a rather busy one for me, and I didn't draw much (plus was sick through most of December), so I feel like I'm out of shape. I do hope that you — and everyone else — like the end results! Also, I cannot believe that I've been participating in ZEcret Santa for five consecutive years!, since 2019! Thank you for having me on board for so many years!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to @handsometimr , the ZEcret Santa crew and the entire Zero Escape fandom! May the next year be healthy and productive for everyone! Love and cheers, Juricha.

A Christmas Luna for @zecretsanta to bring you a wonderful Christmas (with and without lines), inspired by padoru designs.

Merry Christmas!

Gosh, sorry for taking it that long, i was traveling and aaAGH Im a goof.

I just wanted to say that, it was a total new experience for me to draw that, i really overcame myself in everyway, i even learned how to draw some things better, i just wanted to do something you'd like a lot :'3

I never considered shipping these two until i saw the prompt idea, i wish i could have done all of them in one but i got kinda overloaded by myself since it was my first time xD thank you for giving me that experience and even a new shipp! I hope you have a real good CHRISMAA!

I REAALLY hope you liked it, it was just a silly idea i had to do them like that xP

♡♡ BEST DAY EVER FOR YOU, EVILI-SAN ♡♡

TFW you’ve just been whacked over the head with how spoilt you’ve been having Zecret Santa as your first fandom event.

Hey Xin, I’m your ZE Secret Santa! :D Still new to Ghost Trick, but I hope you like this!!

To: @super-paperdawn From: @zana-kun

My gift for this year’s ZEcret Santa!!! It’s based on @super-paperdawn’s (#41) second prompt, “Clover after she has pursued her career as an internet gaming celebrity”. I had fun drawing it and I really hope you are going to like it too! :D <3

To: @somnium-aiba From: @memoirlee

This was such a fun prompt to work on! I hope you like it as much as I liked making it :^D

prompt: aoi + junpei anything.

they’re walking home from a late-night grocery haul, and jumpy is woefully underdressed for the season. maybe they’re cooking something?

…and there’s some weird meta neon sign in the foreground? happy holidays!

Hi!! I loved the idea of drawing cute d team family stuff so i drew sigma giving phi a horrible jumper :] Happy Holidays!! I hope you like it :D!!

To: @billyweird From: @revuecore

merry christmas, billyweird! i came up with a little story after getting your prompt– sigma asked junpei and akane to spend time with phi (probably because she was being antisocial) and in typical Akane Fashion they ended up doing something ridiculous. this is the pic they send sigma after they land in hawaii, to his utter horror. its silly but i hope you like it, i had a lot of fun working on it!

To: @queenpichu​ From: @misstooni​

I love any excuse to draw this group all together, and your prompt was so much fun to draw and color!!

Happy holidays!!

To: @memoirlee​ From: @schrodingersorrow​

Happy holidays! I loved your prompt for the cast having a potluck, it was such a heart-warming scene to draw! Although I got confused between hotpot and potluck so they are…having both lol I hope you like it and have a good holiday season yourself!
