The Official Secret Santa Thread

on: December 24, 2005, 06:38:47 am
I don't really know what else to say, except that: IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!

These are the gifts I have so far. As I said in the other threads, you'll need to post it yourself if you didn't email it to me. I'll edit this post with all the new gifts whenever I'm online again.

I'll also still be checking the secret.santa.submissions@gmail.com account to make sure I didn't miss any.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for, I've made a link to each image rather than post it with the img tag so that the page doesn't become too bogged down and the animations begin to slow.

Merry Christmas!  Sorry if you don't celebrate it mate!  I didn't know much about you other than what I found on your site, so I went down a more generic road.  Idea came from a Best Buy commercial.
But what I lack in skill I make up in size!

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, dmit, I’ll fix it.

It was hard to get a pallette working. I dunno whether you think this is too saturated or not, but I hope you like it.

Flaber, thank you very much, that is great, also very flaber-ish :P

If it makes you feel any better, merc, I'm still waiting on mine, too. We can suffer together  :'( :P

The gifts so far are pretty awesome, though. Kazuya's is so great, I love the idea and the distortion of the reflection came out so well. I like the northpole mockup, too. I need to remember to try making a mockup for next year.

EDIT:oops, meant kazuya, not pawige

I wish I had found this activity earlier.  :P
Anyways, as much as I'd like to see another work by st0ven, I figure I'd might as well last-minute-partake in this activity if you'd like a present and you don't get one.

EDIT: and maybe you too, crab2selout, heheh

Well perhaps all of our people live in the same time zone, and they all plan on putting it out at midnight their time.  Perhaps... 
And you know what I am proud, I spent a long time on my gift and it came out as my best work.  So now I guess that is my gift.  I can be proud of one of my best works.  Plus it's Christmas I can forgive.

theres one sad thing about this (and good in a way).
since we are all linking the pics, we cant really click to zoom. but then again. this are gifts and should be seen as such. i don't think we should bother much about the technical aspects.

Merry christmas to you all!

Wanted to make sure I had submitted it early as I wasn't sure about being able to get on the internet closer to the day - especially as it was a weekend this year. I wasn't really even sure what sort of things people did for each other when I started this, but hope you enjoy it anyway.

P.S. If anyone would be kind enough to host a copy of the one to me somewhere other than Photobucket (which is a blocked site here) I would be most grateful... I would so like to see what I got.

Sorry if I don't seem to ever comment on your posts, but anything hosted on imageshack or most image hosting web sites is blocked from China. If I can't see it I can't therefore comment on it :(

Woot thanks Alex and I'll agree with you.

Skipper: I love it, thank you. It's sort of grotesque, but I love the shading and colouring especially as the character is only 4 colours (well.. except for the 5 pixels of the eyes that is)

Double post, but I made a list:

Darkhawk
Kal Salyer
Zach
Bel

Those are the people who haven't made gifts. I made a list and checked it twice.

Hopefully those people aren't gone.

EDIT: Haha, scuba steve DIDNT sign up, he just posted "Does this cost money?"

Cross Tetsuya off the list. There was a f**k up involving him. I don't quite have the time right now, but if someone wants to, they could make up a list of those who have made a gift, but haven't received one yet. If anyone wants to make a gift, then they are the people to make them for.

BTW, Evan, are you going to post your gift for everyone to see? Part of the fun  is getting to see what everyone else made.

Like I said, I didn't make a pixel gift. I'm garbage with pixels, so I used my other talents to make Ireland a song (look at my above post) and a copy of "The Animator's Survival Guide" by Richard Williams.

Due to family problems (my grandfather was diagnosed with bone cancer) and obligations towards work and family during the holidays I wasn't able to pixel a gift. Apologies. The guy I was supposed to pixel for is also on the naughty list, so I feel less bad about it. Still I regret my actions deeply :(

I'm sorry to hear that, Gil.

I suppose I should modify my post, since like you, some members may have had family difficulties or something.

Best of luck with everything, Gil. It'll all work out in the end.

I think this is a similar case to the "'if you don't have anything useful to add.. don't post".

I remember seeing a post by you in the Secret Santa Sign-up thread. Whether or not you actually said 'I sign up' is less relevant - if you never intended to, you shouldn't have posted there, or should have made it obvious in your post that you didn't want to sign-up.

-Z-

Sorry if I don't seem to ever comment on your posts, but anything hosted on imageshack or most image hosting web sites is blocked from China. If I can't see it I can't therefore comment on it :(

Oh no, I won't be the "bad guy" here.  I posted because I was not sure if this was a traditional secret santa thing or not... like a gift exchange.  I was involved with a few others and was looking for more information.

Zoggles is right..
anyways, the post didnt ask for anyone to specifically state whether or not they will be joining, it just said to reply to the thread, which you did.

No he isn't, and you're just as wrong.  "Reply to this thread" isn't meant literally... it was a figure of speech saying reply to this thread saying if you will participate.  Tetsuya_shino "replied" to the thread saying he wasn't going to do it... does that mean he was in because he "Replied to the thread"?  Albeit my post may sound a bit vague, but nowhere did I say I was joing and I will not be made to feel guilty as a result.  I feel bad for my secret Santa, but I didn't ask for this.

Sorry, Scuba. I tried getting the opinions of a couple other people in the IRC to see whether they thought you were being serious or not. Me and St0ven decided that we would include you, since it would be easier to take you of the SS, than put you in it. When I didn't hear about you replying back to the PMs we sent out, I figured that you were being serious in the signup thread.

Anyways, I think I'll have some time later on today to make up a list of the people who've made gifts, but haven't got any. I figure that anyone with some spare time, who'd like to, could make a gift for them.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or whatever it is you celebrate.

EDIT: That tetsuya post was a mistake. Basically, after the first or second, day, I was jumping to the bottom of the thread to see all the new posts. I forgot to recheck the posts in the thread, which is why I missed his edit.

Thank you :). I'd be willing to make another gift for somebody.

I'll make a second gift.  Just be patient I work slowly.

EDIT JAN 8, So sorry I wont be able to make a second gift.  There is too much on my plate right now with projects robot designs and hundreds of emails about the animation I just have too much to do; so sorry.  Perhaps I will get some down time, I wont even be able to enter KOF.. Sigh...
