This is the Christmas present! I hope ya'll enjoy it! As you can see, I started working with a new illustrator. I'm happy that they were able to capture Maria in her battle form. Unfortunately, this one was a little bit rushed and due to some communication and IRL complications, we couldn't fix the finer details of the art, but I'm still happy with the way it turned out.
