Lots of great gifts here guys, hopefully next year everyone will finish! :P
Post by: skamocore on December 24, 2010, 12:27:03 pm
Just want to point out that SwapBrain was my actual Secret Santa. I made stuff for Ptoing, Atnas and TheSilentRoomate (btw, if you can't tell, it's supposed to be Positive Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnIXtTA9Vzs) :yell:) as extra gifts.

Also, merry x-mas adcrusher! the third file is ready for printing if you so desire. All your friendly neighborhood copy shop needs to know should be in the file name. If done right it is 18x24 inch medium standard us poster size. Have fun!

And Fry, in case it isn't clear, yours is actually part of a galaxy, yes I did colour reduce and no it's not finished- but it will be.

I like that layout, looks like it would be a fun game. Nice work on the little portraits. I like the trees too. :y:
Also:
Skamocore's - Was pretty clever, really looked like stills from an old movie.
Jim16's - Made me laugh because the fishing pole looks suggestive.
Jeremy's - Looks neat, nice and has an 18th century feel.
weaselpa's - I love the feel of this one too bad it's hard to see clearly.
tomic's - Looks great even though WIP.
Stratto's - Dog mockup looks very gameboy-esq, which is good.
Reo's - Made me laugh :lol:
TakaM's - Not sure what to say about this except I like it :)
Frawg's - Very nice, I guess he's holding a diver?
Kcilc's - Nice animation, very smooth.
Sherman Gill's - Not sure if I get it, but it looks nice.
miascugh's - WOW!
ptoing's - Very nice.
zeo's - Very cool style.
ikke's - Wild. Like the style too.
Post by: Red_Mist on December 24, 2010, 03:49:12 pm
Zccc, thank you very much I loved it and its animated! :y:
If there was a winner of best overall s.s. Miascugh, you have my vote... I nearly had a stroke. :blind:
Quote
Red Mist. I didn't mention Ghosbusters how the hell did you know it was my favourite movie?
Haha, pretty safe bet that Ghostbusters would be somewhere in the list ;D
Was so much fun, cant wait to do this again :>
Post by: Chis on December 24, 2010, 04:38:30 pm
Merry Christmas, everyone! ;D
Post by: Dex on December 24, 2010, 05:12:08 pm
Merry Christmas, Pixelation! :)
Post by: Opacus on December 24, 2010, 05:40:27 pm
Thanks a lot Opacus!
That's pretty epic! ;D
Glad you like it.
I had a lot more in mind for it at first, like the mec (it being an anti cephalopod mech) actually fighting a giant octopus.
But in the end I didn't think I could've pulled that off successfully without some crits.
Some very neat pieces of art here! I like yours as well Reo.
I am sad though, where is my present? :(
Oh and Panda: I know this is a nitpick, but you forgot the 'from' at the 3rd gift.
Post by: Pan on December 24, 2010, 06:05:50 pm
And again, sorry Sherman, for the poor pixeling, hope you liked it anyways.
Post by: Olothontor on December 24, 2010, 06:56:35 pm
Kren: I apologize for the lateness of your gift, I just sent it to Panda. Sorry also for the... rushed feel of the whole thing. Never tried a mockup either. :-[
Opacus: I sense some Tau influence in that gift, eh? :)
Post by: Jeremy on December 24, 2010, 06:57:11 pm
Enormous thank you to ptoing, it's absolutely fantastic. Now to figure out how to make it avatar size. :crazy:
glad you like it Photocopier, I *was* going to try to pixel a steampunk photocopier, so count yourself lucky :P
skamocore you a gift 'ho :)

Oh Elk man that is awesome, thank you so much. :)
And Fry, in case it isn't clear, yours is actually part of a galaxy, yes I did colour reduce and no it's not finished- but it will be.
It's a WIP though :(

Post by: Fry on December 24, 2010, 09:12:48 pm
My apologies to Opacus for a late present, I sent it to Panda this afternoon so hopefully you will receive it soon. I under-estimated my travel time across the Country and wanted to do a few more tweaks before submitting it, I should have sent a WIP before I left.
Post by: Opacus on December 24, 2010, 09:36:39 pm
Thanks TakaM! Really cool piece, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished thing!

That's quite okay man. I'm an expert in missing deadlines myself :)
Looking forward to it!

I opened my present and i was like "why do I need to download it" then I opened it and damn it's awesome. and I just happened to have a pair of 3d glasses next to me when I opened it, thanks Ui, it's incredible, the robot is just plain awesome.
@Jim16, I'm glad you liked it, oh and that item on the right corner is supposed to be a rugby ball, and the main character is a pug.
Lizzrd, you've really improved since last year, don't think I've forgotten ;)
And damn, there a tons of wonderful pixels this year, merry xmas everyone!

Great gifts all around. Some of my favorites (by artists): Batlorder, Opacus, Photocopier, Xion, TakaM, and miascugh (holy shit).

Take your time secret santa...
Post by: FRAWG on December 25, 2010, 03:18:03 am
And a wonderful piece, slym. I think it's quite funny that the tree is being used as a Christmas tree despite there being a skeleton hanging from it.... Made me laugh

perhaps only members with a decent amount of posts (or members who look like they're actually going to stick around the boards) should be allowed in the event at all?
im totally agree with you :y:. Otherwise this will always happend!, which is bad/shittie :'(
