Secret Santa 2010

[Panda]

Seasons Greetings everyone!

First of all, I would like to thank you all for participating. Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the people I couldn't reply personally.

Olothontor, TheSilentRoomate, eldiabolito, alkaline, Fry, Jakten, SolidIdea and Atnas: If I don't receive anything from you guys by tomorrow, you'll be banned until the end of February and you won't be able to partake in the next Secret Santa. Of course you'll be getting a strike right away.

To those who sent in WIPs: Today is your lucky day. You won't receive a strike, but please finish your gifts ASAP. Or else

If you find any mistakes on the thread, please let me know and I will try to solve it.

[boojiboy]

Red Mist. I didn't mention Ghosbusters how the hell did you know it was my favourite movie? I love it man, thank you so much!

[Photocopier]

Wow thankyou so so much Jeremy, It's wonderful and I love it 

Lots of great gifts here guys, hopefully next year everyone will finish! 

[skamocore]

Woo! Thanks Clovvach. I especially like the colours. Oh, btw nice wrapping

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 ) as extra gifts.

[Jim16]

Thanks so much Stratto! I really appreciate the work you put into that.
And this

Is just made of win! It really made my day.

Some awesome gifts this year.

[Reo]

Thanks a lot Opacus!
That's pretty epic!

[Atnas]

Ack. Just sent in my WIP. EvilEye<3 I thought I'd finish. But I didn't. ; n ; So uh... : D the other half comes asap!

Thank you sooo much ;u;

edit: EvilEye if you're readin this and panda hasn't updated yet, here it is!

[ilkke]

Apparently I've been a bad boy... Sniff :_(

[miascugh]

Ha, yes, clearly we should team up and bully ptoing for one of his and split 70:30.

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!

[Lizzrd]

Thanks tomic, and don't worry, I love it even if it's just a WIP

[adcrusher524]

HOLY CRAP MIASCUGH! THAT'S AMAZING!    Sooooo awesome I love it! Thank you so much!

[miascugh]

edit: here's an alternate, inverted-ish version:

[slym]

Thank McClaneGames! I love it!

[.TakaM]

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.

edit-
Here's what the original pic looked like:

[tomic]

lizzard, i'm so glad you like it.
i'll finish it between the various meals and then post/pm it.
stay tuned

merry xmas everyone.

[EvilEye]

edit: EvilEye if you're readin this and panda hasn't updated yet, here it is!

I like that layout, looks like it would be a fun game. Nice work on the little portraits. I like the trees too.


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

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.

[Red_Mist]

Zccc, thank you very much I loved it and its animated!   

If there was a winner of best overall s.s. Miascugh, you have my vote... I nearly had a stroke. 

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 

Was so much fun, cant wait to do this again :>

[Chis]

Awmahgawd thanks so so much Sherman Gill The style reminds me of sumi-e and the composition's wonderfully enigmatic and you covered like everything I listed! Brownie points for getting my avatar in there <3

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Dex]

Hah, I had a feeling I wouldn't get anything this year! Oh well, I hope my Secret Santa likes my gift, hope you guys like it to, I worked fairly hard on it. Everyone's gifts look awesome, though, you all did a great job!

Merry Christmas, Pixelation!

[Opacus]

Thanks a lot Opacus!
That's pretty epic!

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.

[Pan]

Thanks a lot jim16, there's so much to look at!

And again, sorry Sherman, for the poor pixeling, hope you liked it anyways.

[Olothontor]

Mush, that's an awesome steampunky bike. Best Christmas ever.

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?

[Jeremy]

It's up already!  

Enormous thank you to ptoing, it's absolutely fantastic. Now to figure out how to make it avatar size.  
glad you like it Photocopier, I *was* going to try to pixel a steampunk photocopier, so count yourself lucky

skamocore you a gift 'ho

[Xion]

Awesomesauce, FRAWG just how I like my humans; throttled by cephalopods and half dead

[Elk]

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

[McClaneGames]

Thanks Lizzrd, that bird is awesome and so is the pallet!

[Clovvach]

Your welcome skamore! I'm glad you liked it!

[ui]

FOKYES!!!! IS FINALLY OUT!... thx thx thx! 
ppl who didnt made anything, send it to the fire and burn!... jajajaja in any case im joking!  , but come on! 

Reo, really thx for that santa!.... "oh, my!, santa knows im a bad person!!!! NOOOOHHHH!!!"  . Thx again :DD

@ilkke, woots!  daaammm... also your gift was for tomic!, so epic!, maybe a late sante will bring you something 

thx all the ppl who participe on this, epic, as always!

[Fry]

Thanks TakaM! Really cool piece, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished thing!

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. 

[Opacus]

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!

[Stratto]

HOLY FUCK
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!

[Argyle]

Hahahahaha, adcrusher I love it! Now to look at the rest of them

[ptoing]

Thanks a lot Xion and skamocore

It's very nice to see all this nice pixelart. 

[Josiah]

Great stuff everybody, also Chis I love it hahahahah, made me happy when I saw it. 

[Mush]

Thanks Chrispy, you reminded me why I love that movie so much 

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

[Rydin]

Really loving everybody's art this year!
Take your time secret santa...

[FRAWG]

Thanks for the compliment, Xion!

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

[setz]

I didn't make the signups, but I wanted to say "Great Job!" to everyone who did, and finished. Everyone who didn't gets an "ehh". Its nice to see so much giving.

[Chrispy]

Love it, weaslepa. It's a bit hard to read, but still pure awesome.
Also I'm glad you like it, Mush. I've never worked with NES colors before so it was fun.

[ilkke]

Yay! I've been a good boy afterall! Thanks, TheSilentRoommate!

[Zccc]

Thanks Photocopier, it's really cool!

And sorry Red_Mist for not being real isometric, I tried... I'm glad you like it!

And I'm really amazed by all your gifts!

[Joe]

Zeo, that is so awesome!  I love it 

There are some amazing pieces this year, EvilEye, Xion, and Miascugh's caught my eye.

[Opacus]

That's pretty awesome Fry! I dig the oldschool look. Thanks man

[tomic]

okay lizzrd,
here's your final present



hope, you don't like mushroom-people *too* much
my apologies again for the delay!

[Sherman Gill]

Merry Christmas ya'll! Glad you like your gift, Chis, and thank you Pan!

[Kren]

I really like it Olothontor n_n I must say I am dissapointed of my entry but oh well, ; _ ; next time I will try to do something more complex.

[SwapBrain]

Skamocore: Top notch! Thanks a million!

There is some really great stuff here. Nice to see everyone so active.

[Demon11777]

So much awesome work :]

[boojiboy]

I know I'm not a great pixel artist, but it would be nice to be thanked.

[Argyle]

Don't worry, Boojiboy.  My secret santa has been silence until the end of February for being a naughty santa so I feel you there 

[Dex]

My secret santa hasn't even visited in weeks (he didn't turn his gift in, either, haha)... 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?

[ui]

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  . Otherwise this will always happend!, which is bad/shittie 

[boojiboy]

looking forward to next years entries.
