Done in Photoshop CS5 primarily on my tablet laptop. Falling snow is a photo I took overlaid on the image.
This is actually an older image I drew and colored just post-Christmas last year and only recently pulled out to touch up and fit with a quick background.
(Prismacolor markers with a Photoshop background and a photo overlay for the snow)

Story Excerpt:
"Still," the glowing serpent slithered closer, "I do put a part of me in each of my children. Even you."
Yukio felt suddenly cold. "What do you mean?"
"Think about it." The serpent circled him. "Mephisto has my cunning. Amaimon you could call my playful side. Your own twin carries all my rage. And, you... your cold, calculating demeanor... Where do you think you got it from?"
Yukio grit his teeth, forcing himself not to turn to follow the serpent's hypnotic, winding path. "That's absurd." His voice was flat in his own ears. "Personality isn't controlled by genetics."
"Not by human genetics maybe." His left hand burned suddenly as the serpent slithered across, leaving a line of smoking flesh. "But, I'm not human. And, really, neither are you."
"Of course I—!" The words died away as Yukio's eyes fell on his hand. His smoking hand, whole and uninjured now flickering with blue flames. "Impossible. I'm not— not—!"
"You are my son," said the serpent, coiling in front of him.
Yukio's breath came in short pants. "I'm—" Fujimoto Shiro's son, an exorcist, human. "I'm not—" Pushing himself back on shaking legs, he hit a wall of solid rock and scrambled to his feet. "I'm Okumura Yukio! And, I'm nothing like you!
Blue flames flared around him, spread up his arm, and reached to consume his body. And, the serpent began to laugh.
The laughter deepened, and, suddenly, the serpent was gone. In its place stood a tall man wreathed in flames. Long, twisting horns of fire curled from his brow, and his eyes burned brightest blue.
"No, that name won't do." The man, Satan, sounded thoughtful. "We need something more fitting."
Screaming, Yukio felt flames waken inside him to answer those crawling across his skin. Felt heat burst free of his body. Felt a sudden, indefinable weight at the crown of his head as his own horns blazed into existence. Felt the slide of new muscle and bone as a tail grew from the base of his spine.
His brother had never said it felt like dying.
And, his so-called father only watched, considering.
"Falsus," he said at last. "That will do nicely."
Yukio stiffened, his scream dying in his throat. He could feel the name taking hold of him, sinking in and pushing down everything he knew. Memories, emotions. They were swept back and buried as a chill seeped into his heart despite the all-consuming flames.
And, Satan smiled. "Welcome home, Falsus."
Yukio looked up at him, face empty of emotion. "Yes."

Originally inspired by this Bugs Bunny borrowing from my friend Sage:
[Kagome] Oh mighty hanyou who art thou in front of me, might I inquire to ask what is up with thee?
[Inuyasha] I'm going to kill Naraku!
[Kagome] Oh mighty hanyou that'll be quite a task. How will you do it, might I inquire to ask?
[Inuyasha] I will kill him with my mighty TESSAIGA!
[Kagome] Your mighty TESSAIGA?
[Inuyasha] Mighty TESSAIGA!
[Kagome] TESSAIGA?
[Inuyasha] TESSAIGA!
[Kagome] ::nods:: Tessaiga...
[Inuyasha] ::hopping onto cliff:: Yes! Mighty Tessaiga! And, I will give you a sample! ::does the whole Elmer Fudd thing by doing the Kaze no Kizu, nails Kagome::
[Kagome] ::blank faced, all black and charred:: OSUWARI!

I chose to draw Chance as Kogenta from "Onmyou Taisenki". So, here he is finally colored.
Chance was done in Prismacolor markers and pencils. The background was created in Photoshop with a little bit of texture from Mayang's Free Texture Library (http://www.mayang.com/textures/index.htm).
Thanks to tainted-ivory ([url]http:/tainted-ivory.deviantart.com/[/url]) for pointing out some needed changes.

The topic for July was to draw one or more of the SWAT Kat characters as some species other than a kat. I was stumped for a long time. I considered doing the Boys as humans... but I've tried that in the past with only limited success. And, I didn't think I could match up to the lovely versions done by xtreamcrazy.
So, I turned to mythological creatures and... well, there you go.
