Nutcracker SWEET!

In the spirit of the season (again) I'm doing more holiday themed boys. I have yet to figure out a name for this guy, but I already have a story about him, which happens whenever a new character emerges in my mind. Santa Clause and his elves are done ad nauseum when the holidays roll around. I figured doing a sexy nutcracker soldier would be a much more well received entry.

Much like the ballet, the Nutcracker Suite, the story will center around a young person and the gift of a nutcracker soldier for Christmas. My friend Matt, who is a theatre student out in Ontario, has been having some difficult times in his university classes, so I figured a character much like him would be the "Clara" of this story. He happens upon this handsome nutcracker soldier, bruised and broken. After mending him and turning in for the night, the soldier becomes flesh and whisks him away to his world where the sorcerer rat king, Ambrosius Vermin, has laid siege to the land and turned it into a plague stricken wasteland....

I'll go into details later. My brain is numb.

  2. I love this idea!
    Watching a production of the Nutcracker is a big time Christmas tradition in my family!
    I'm actually gonna go watch a production of it in just a week!
    It would be a true Christmas treat if the guy playing the Nutcracker has a wardrobe malfunction and comes bursting out of his costume just like your pic here! XD
