All these pics are just great! This board is so full of talent.
For once, I have something to share. It's actually a true story!
How the Legion Saved Christmas
For the first 11 years of my life, I was the only grandchild, so when the family got together, there wasn't a whole lot for me to do -- unless we were at my aunt and uncle's house. There, I had the great privilege to read his extensive back issue collection, and I spent a few years working my way through the Legion catalogue in the comfy chair in his basement comic-book room.
But one December when I was 8 or 9, the adults were downstairs playing darts and making a lot of noise, so I went upstairs to read. (This was before Christmas, so I didn't have new toys to play with -- they were still wrapped under the tree.)
I plopped behind the couch (don't remember why I didn't plop on it) and started reading. After a while, I heard a strange crackling noise and poked my head over the sofa. One of the wood candlesticks on the mantel had caught fire (dripping wax on the paper towel beneath), and flames were going up the wall and headed toward the Christmas tree.
I yelled, "Fire! Fire!" The adults rushed up and were able to put it out. My uncle even used his hand to snuff a flaming ember that had jumped to the tree.
If I hadn't been upstairs reading comic books, I might not be here today to tell this story.
And that's how the Legion saved Christmas!

for some reason I just LOVE the Kinetix one. Never heard of her, but I just love her costume and she looks fantastic!

A real Christmas tree was a rarity on Earth. Imports had been forbidden since 2980, after the Tamaranian Rust Beetle infestation had wiped out the few native conifers. Now only one Clonal Regeneration Facility remained, fenced and guarded, supplying a few annual evergreens to the wealthiest households.
They'd never had one, of course. Her mother refused any of the credits Father had sent in those years he was out of prison. Not that even those sums would have paid for a live tree. No point in wishing, she scolded herself, but still she wondered what it would be like, as she began to unfold the shiny Lumatree.
There was a rustling sound outside her apartment door. She paused, heard footsteps receding down the hallway, the lift door closing, then silence. Opening the door, a mass of green fell onto her and a scent she had never imagined filled the air. She looked down and saw a faint glow along the perfectly smooth cut trunk. Only one axe in the galaxy cut like that, she knew, and didn't even have to read the tag tied to a branch, "Merry Christmas, Lialla".

Sorry to be drawing from the past again, so to speak, but I haven't had much time for drawing lately.
This is a Crujectra pic I did a few years ago on the old Yahoo!Group. I look at it now and see the flaws, but at the time I was happy with it
