Great results this year guys!

[Siren]

The gifts are so inspiring it's amazing to see all the amazing works! Thank you adcrusher524 for the gift, it is gorgeous, I feel so unworthy...

PPD's work made me laugh so hard and Drazelic's mecha shading is so beautiful. *touches* wolfenoctis's gift really gave me some huge JRPG/Fantasy nostalgia vibes.

[Dex]

Oh man, PPD, that is just utterly fantastic. Thank you so much! I absolutely love it.

Lots of awesome stuff this year, as usual, everyone. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

[xhunterko]

First before I look at mine, very sorry to my partner. You deserved someone better.

[Dr D]

Dr. D I hope you like your's Im sorry I didnt encorporate your likes and dislikes into it more. Have some Happy Holidays though!

What!? 
You got like at least 4 things from my list there. And it's not like it had to be followed anyway. Anyways it's awesome.

Thanks so much, Happy Holidays.

Some really amazing pieces this year for sure.

[PixelPiledriver]

THANKS ELLIAN!!! 
Exactly what I wanted!
Delicious...

Need to add a gift page to my blog.

Spent a good hour looking thru all the gifts.
Amazing stuff everyone!

MERRY CRIZMUS!!!

[PsylentKnight]

Very awesome stuff. I thought about participating but I didn't know if I'd have the willpower to finish anything. They're all good, but I love wolfenoctis' in particular. You should totally finish those sails and wings.

[Drazelic]

Awesome indeed, Regulus Awesome. Thanks for the gift! You did a great job with the custom present wrapping too.

xhunterko: Sorry about not being able to finish your gift! I left my laptop charger at my apartment over christmas break so I couldn't work on it at all during December. I hope you like it anyways.

[Speedy]

omg I love love love it!
Thank you so much Googlecrab, this is exactly what I wanted

[Gogglecrab]

omg I love love love it!
Thank you so much Googlecrab, this is exactly what I wanted

I'm really glad you like it! It diverged a bit from my original intentions due to time constraints but I am still quite happy with it's turnout, especially now knowing that you enjoyed it!

Many thanks to you as well ToyKing, Love the clock tower! I do hope you'll get some sort of gift out of this...

EDIT: BatElite saves the day!

A big shout out goes to everyone for sure though, lots of great gifts this year! Merry Christmas to all!

[MashPotato]

Thanks so much, Mr. Beast! Stylish, and with the rich, saturated colours I love Merry Christmas!

[Probo]

Woops i forgot to thank red mist for his awesome joseph helmet!!!  was tired and a bit tipsy when i posted last night sorry dude! its fantastic, ta! i love that painterly background too, merry xmas

[Opacus]

Holy crap Opacus, that's such an awesome gift! I don't know how you knew I loved shovel knight, I didn't think I had anything written anything about it on the internet.(Unless you went all detective and searched my steam account) Thank you so much!

Great results this year guys!

Really glad you like it man, was my pleasure!

Awesome about the Shovel Knight: it wasn't actually even supposed to be that, but simply a mech/knight hybrid. (Since you liked robots, fantasy and hybrid animals I thought you might enjoy more hybrids.) But I looked really closely at snake's Shovel Knight remake for inspiration, since his shading is so good and, well, everything he makes is beautiful. So it makes total sense. I'm gonna call it serendipity

And thank you for the great gift, Speedy! Merry Christmas man!

Once again, really nice stuff this year. Always a pleasure working my way through all those links.

[Ellian]

Oooooh, I like it
Thanks Ellian. Gameboy ants are teh shizzle.

I'm glad you like it! I was a little short on time because I was covering for someone who had to bail out, but I'm happy you like it <3
Your like/dislikes were insanely hard to work with!

THANKS ELLIAN!!! 
Exactly what I wanted!
Delicious...

Exactly what you...? My god, you little piece of naughty... *shove*
I'm glad you liked it. It was fun making something for you <3



Ikke yes thaaaaanks I love it <3
I'm gonna look if I can get this printed
I love the colors, overall weirdness and shapes <3



And a big thanks to Crow for organizing all this. Man, that must have taken forever! You rock, man.

[Gil]

I'm glad you like it! I was a little short on time because I was covering for someone who had to bail out, but I'm happy you like it <3
Your like/dislikes were insanely hard to work with!

Haha, next year I'll just ask for a robo-dino-pirate

So much thanks for making that gift, I would've been pretty bummed if I was one of the people to not get a gift

[Zccc]

Nooo, not the arcades!! Thank you Cakeprediction!

[dustinaux]

Awesoooome thanks for the sweet mounted-dino village Gil! I love it!

Plan was to fully animate it, but that took an inordinate amount of time. This about how far I got. Tons of work left on it:

That's unfinished? I do like it though. Thank you very much!

[Crow]

Thanks to Corinthian Baby, Mr. Beast now also has a gift Now.. would someone please make something for ui? I believe this would be the first Secret Santa with nobody left without a gift if that were to happen

Edit: Well, this was fast! Thanks to BatElite once again, ui now has a gift as well! Thank you very, very much I'll give a cookie to Ellian, BatElite and Corinthian Baby for their efforts to make extra gifts.

Oh BTW Crow, could you put a ZIP/RAR of all the gift for easy donwload.

[Pizza Tom]

Awesome indeed, Regulus Awesome. Thanks for the gift! You did a great job with the custom present wrapping too.

Glad you like it! I knew I had to step up my custom wrap game when I saw the ones you've done in previous years.
