[[File:merry xxx-holic.jpg|link=xxxHolic×××HOLiC|frame|Putting the characters in [["Happy Holidays" Dress|Holiday]] [[Sexy Santa Dress|Dresses]] is one of the most common themes.]]
 
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Bonus Material]], where artists make what could be described as official [[Fan Art]]. They draw scenes of the characters doing things that aren't actually in the work as such.
Line 23:
* Done for some covers of ''[[The Law of Ueki]]''; one [[Beach Episode]] cover is mentioned in an omake inside as a weird dream a character had. (And another character mentions that she wouldn't be wearing her glasses in that situation.)
* The credits sequence for ''[[Divergence Eve]]'' is nothing but this sort of stuff.
* Anything drawn by [[CLAMP]] gets lots of this, as seen with the above picture of [[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]. Usually they feature the characters in [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] (okay, ''more'' impossibly cool than some of the canonical outfits).
* [[Rumiko Takahashi]] indulges in this trope A LOT. But of particular note is ''[[Ranma ½]]'', where she takes the chance to put [[Ms. Fanservice|the titular, self-assured and macho]] [[Gender Bender]] [[Pimped-Out Dress|in]] [["Happy Holidays" Dress|extremely]], [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|uncharacteristically]] [[She Cleans Up Nicely|feminine]] [[Sexy Santa Dress|clothes]] ([[Mini-Dress of Power|or]] [[Stripperiffic|less]]) [[Beach Episode|and]] [[Jungle Princess|settings]] ''[[Showing Off the New Body|and]] [[Out-of-Character Moment|enjoying it]]'' --[[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|even the]] [[Catgirl]] [[Cosplay|outfits]]! This is [[Rule of Funny|possibly deliberate]], as a subversion of [[Fan Service]] and gender roles at the expense of fans and the character her[him]self, since Ranma ''vehemently'' DESPISES wearing feminine clothes or doing girly things [[Manipulative Bastard|unless it's for an ulterior motive]], and even then she/he doesn't like it. Other characters, both in this series and others, get this treatment too, but it's not as unusual or surprising (or [[Author Appeal|as common]].)
* [[Naoko Takeuchi]] released 5 different collections of this of the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' characters, one for each season. She liked drawing them in outer space, teleporting to Paris, or wearing princess outfits, swimsuits, bride's dresses, lingerie, just about anything out of the catalogs she had lying around her house.

* ''[[Drowtales]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131105170412/http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?page_id=185 official wallpaper site] features main characters celebrating Halloween and Christmas. The production team also runs an [[Fan Service]] paysite, so it's hardly surprising.
* The [http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/warrior-xmas/ Warrior Christmas comic book]. People try to read it as a story but it's really just a series of pinups.
* ''[[Twokinds]]'' has the author's whole [[Deviant ART]] full of [http://twokinds.deviantart.com/ such images]. (Some are NSFW, so they can't be seen without registering.)
* The ''[[Something*Positive]]'' 2002 [[Fan Service|Swimsuit]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140105072928/http://www.somethingpositive.net/swst2002-17.shtml Edition] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130319171456/http://www.somethingpositive.net/stuff.shtml assorted other work].
