Description Look at the word in the middle. What do you see? Now look at the white space in between the letters. Now what do you see? You see just what happens when two people become best friends: they become inseparable.

This is a gift for *JKSketchy (AKA Jenny) and *DuckxDuck (AKA She-who-must-not-be-named). It started out as a simple self-postulation that I could get the letters of "Scout" to intertwine with those of "Duck". After a few attempts, I came up with the pattern you see here. It's not perfect, but if I waited until it was, there's only a small chance it'd be done in time for Christmas... next year. Then I decided it would make a neat background, but then I had to add the characters... and before I knew it, it was destined to be a joint Christmas gift. That's Scout on top and Duck on bottom, two characters I've adored for a long time but have never yet drawn.

I finished this about two weeks ago, so I've been waiting patiently until today to post it. (But I've been tweaking it a few times to get lots of little things just right. It even loops left to right, so it can be used as a tiled desktop background!)

Merry Christmas, *JKSketchy and *DuckxDuck . And a Merry Christmas to everyone!

Also, new monogram.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! That's so cool what you did with the background! I would've never guessed you could fit them together And plus Duck and Scout came out great and it's just all so...

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

I'm so happy you like it! The trickiest part was getting the K and the T together (until I realized I could also merge the T with the S to keep the words repeating). Plus I also tried out a new way of drawing the eyes so they were more like the Power Pop cover art style: [link] — I think Scout's eyes are really cute.

You're very welcome. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I can imagine It seems challenging, but it looks super cool! And the eyes look great too! It all looks great!

Thanks! Happy New Year!

It's never a bad thing when words are replaced by feels.

You're so welcome. Merry Epic Christmas!
