The inception of this artwork came about a short time after "Wreck-it Ralph" was released in theaters. Stockings, in a general sense, are extremely colorful accessories to add flare and uniqueness to an ensemble, and so I felt it was something I could do a tribute to by mixing together the few characters I could think of who prominently wore striped stockings. That ended up being these four: Vanellope Von Schweetz, Molly Coddle, Pippy Longstocking, and Stocking from "Panty & Stocking," who has chosen to pull both of her stockings off into their sword form.
