Hello @mishikaiya! I'm your gifter for this year's @masseffectholidaycheer event! I've never drawn Kasumi before but she's so much fun! I hope you like her! 💛

Happy Mass Effect Holiday Cheer @gammaraydeath!!

When I saw you were a fan of Shakarian and that your Shepard was an absolute badass I just knew I had to do some form of cinematic battle couple scene :D

I hope you like it and thank you for your patience as I battled irl time constraints and art struggles <3

(and thank you @masseffectholidaycheer for putting on another lovely event for the 2024-2025 holiday season)

HAPPY MASS EFFECT HOLIDAY CHEER @unfair-water-plane!!!!

January jubilation is upon us, and this holiday season I wanted to commission one of my favorite artists that I met through the clock app (RIP to a real one). When I read your survey and saw that your three favorite characters were Garrus, Tali, and Joker - this idea came crashing into my little brain and I knew beanbones could knock it out of the park. I hope you enjoy it!! This gift exchange is one of my most favorite parts of the holiday season, and I hope it becomes one of yours, too.

🖤🤍❤️🤍🖤

Massive thank you to @masseffectholidaycheer for putting this on every year ♥️

I participated in some @masseffectholidaycheer this year and this is my gift for @hamstercheese7!

I read your fic Have You Seen Me? and it made me cry real good, so I felt inspired to draw some fanart of it. I've also been wanting to try my hand at comics, so this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! Thank you for writing such a beautiful and heartbreaking story. :')

The following mini comic is based on @hamstercheese7's fic Have You Seen Me? I highly recommend reading the fic first if you can!

So, I got very very VERY spoiled by my @masseffectholidaycheer gift-giver this year. I am soooo in love with this gift. Thank you SO much @bleepblorpthebeautiful. I’m in awe of your skills! (And your speed. I think I’ve been working on the same cross-stitch for going on like, a decade.)

An extra-special thank you for the fox/raven—I’m so touched that you made something so perfectly tailored to my taste ❤️❤️ It’s going on the wall immediately.

(I love how Garrus’s visor seems to actually glow in these photos 👀)

Thank you, thank you, thank you, @swaps55 !!!

I laughed seeing this truly cute OTT (One True Tank - so real, I love the Mako do much) zip bag, having opened that first after the card. Then I was completely blown away by the absolutely stunning sketchbook you bound for me as part of the @masseffectholidaycheer exchange! What an incredible and fun craft. My partner and I were flipping through it just going, "Whoa, no way! A custom, handmade book! Unreal!" And the Renegade / Paragon interrupt symbols in the corners of the internal pages? SO good.

Check out some of the beautiful designs inside!

Goodness!

The mighty @masseffectholidaycheer bestow upon me a match with @kirikitsune for the festive reaping whos gift arrived today and made this the best monday ever. I am absolutely in love with this fabulously marvellously wonderfully magnificent self made leather cover and the notebook it protects, as well as the amazing bookmark. This is beyond fabulous and I lack the english vocabulary to adequately express how wonderful they are. That wonderful, indeed!

I mean, look at it in all it's glory? The colors are perfect, and the little punches remind me of shells and sea stars and we all know the ocean is my favourite place and beach combing my favourite hobby! Not to speak of the love for notebooks. This will definitely be a huge motivation to do more art this year.

And as if that wasn't amazing already, I got a whole BUNCH of self made pecan toffees that are beyond delicious and will get me through all this dark&cold season. Your granny has the best recipies, @kirikitsune!!

Thank you so so so so much for this absolutely wonderful gift!

And thank you @masseffectholidaycheer and minions for hosting this exchange once again and making this possible. <3

Happy Holidays, @pancake-angst ! Here is your gift for @masseffectholidaycheer

The little Harbinger told me, that you like Garrus and Thane, so here are they, sharing some drinks and small talk during Shepard's party <3

[trekkiemage]

Happy Mass Effect Holiday Cheer @andersonsbiceps!! You mentioned how much Liam Kosta means to you, your boy deserved a portrait <3

[masseffectholidaycheer]

Almighty Harbinger, will there be a reaping this year?

The paltry human flesh sack behind the majesty that is Holiday Harbinger has recently fallen face-first back into full-blown Mass Effect obsession, so signs appear favorable. A signal should reach the minions on the Citadel very soon.

Provided, of course, there’s enough interest!

OH MY GOODNESS

Can we all scream about the amazing January Jubilation gift I received from the AMAZING @fourthage ?!?!?! Along with a fantastic pin (that I am putting on my work lanyard immediately so all can clock me as a mass effect fan), they bound two of my fics for me!!!! This is such an amazing present!!!! It's so cool to have a physical copy of something I wrote, they're going on my bookshelf immediately! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for such a thoughtful gift!!!!!!!!

@masseffectholidaycheer

PS: I was a HUGE scholastic book fair girlie!!!! I always got the new copies of the Series of Unfortunate Events books with a new set of erasers for my pencils.

@cassiefisherdrake

Your embroidery is beautiful 😍 You really did such an amazing job on it.

I loved all the snacks, it was very thoughtful for you to send all the gluten and dairy free options. The bites aren't available in the stores I frequent so it was something new (and delicious). Everything was so good.

Also your handwriting is so pretty. Thanks so much for everything, I loved it.

[mishikaiya]

Happy Mass Effect Holiday Cheer, @biothreads! Thank you for the opportunity to draw the coolest doctor the Alliance has ever seen. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks as always to @masseffectholidaycheer for another fun year.

thank you @alta-et-astra for the lovely gift!! I cannot stop staring at the painting, you've perfectly evoked the mass effect 1 vibe. this whole painting is just *chef kiss*

Also, thank you for the nesting dolls, chocolate, and card! Opening the dolls was such a treat as each one was cuter than the last.
