Description A few years ago, I designed an Advent costume for NiGHTS~  Figured it was time to do some proper digital art of it!

Yes he is!  I wanted to do a proper full-body pic of his costume this year~  And thank you!  Adding the shiny silver bits was my favorite part

She may get burned by the melted wax falling off the candles, but hey! At least she has bright ideas! :V

I'd like to imagine they're ~magic~ candles that won't burn when they drip

Or maybe because they're ~magic~ they just never drip at all! :V

This looks lovely and as a Swede, I have to ask about the candle crown. You see, the 13th of December, we celebrate St. Lucia. It's a very common celebration in Sweden, strongly associated with Christmas and St Lucia is pictured with a crown of candles, such as you made on this picture. Did you do that intentionally, or was it just a lucky coincidence?  

.. either way, again, this picture is absolutely lovely!

Thank you for your kind words!  To answer your question--I am familiar with the beautiful Swedish tradition involving Saint Lucia and her crown of candles, but for this picture NiGHTS is wearing an Advent wreath with its customary violet and pink candles, to mark the weeks of the Advent season.  Although since you don't typically wear an Advent wreath...I guess this could also, coincidentally, be a tribute to Saint Lucia as well!

Oh I see. That makes sense since it's four candles and all But it makes the picture beautiful either way!
