The Official Secret Santa 2006

[Panda]

Finally, after all the waiting, it is HERE!

First of all, I must say "Thank you",  "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too" , and "Thank you for participating" to all those I couldn't reply to the PMs personally.

Anyway, as I guess many of you are impatient to open your presents, I'll keep it short.

About the presents, just look for the one with your name and click on the box, and your present will pop up.
If you do not find yours, chances are your pair was one of the "naughty" ones.

- To those who sent WIPs, or I.O.U.s:  feel free to post your finished versions on this thread once you have them.
- To xegnma, Sohashu and Noveroth: I'll give you a week or two to come up with something, as you three were sincere with your reasons.
- To those who didn't come up with a present, nor bothered to even send a PM or post on the thread with an excuse:  HOHOHO BANNED
...But being Christmas and all, I will give you another chance. You have up to the 25th  to make something for your pairs (meaning you have the whole 24th to work on it). If you still don't come up with a present, you will be banned and rebanned if necessary and ridiculed publicly, of course.

So yeah, if you notice any repeated presents, errors or something on those lines, please notify me and I will try to fix it.
Season greetings to you all, and hope you enjoy your presents.

[halu]

Mine's pretty awesome
Thanks Sherman-Gill :DD

Jesus Christ Toby is the luckiest person on earth O_O

[Faceless]

Thanks Toby, I lol'd.
Merry Christmas to everyone...

[Skull]

Some wonderful work in there.. It's christmas come early for me..
My only regret was my idea..  But big thanks to Rerg1, looks great. 

[Ragnarok]

  I haven't got a present.

[cave]

Great turnout everyone! Awesome activity... And I genuinely thought I wasn't going to be able to finish in time a couple of days ago... Ego, sorry about ignoring the Aztec ruins part, creative slumps suck :3

PS: the score is supposed to say "4 Ego" in leet Merry X-mas everyone!!

[Scotteh]

Thanks you goodnight destroyer, its luvly and u used my crappy snail lines 

I owe monsoon, ima make him a present next year even if i dont have to cuz i need to make up for mine

[Feron]

Junkboy - thats so awesome!

<3

personal favorites in there are, monsoon's, miascughs and snakes.

great job everyone, merry christmas and best wishes for the new year!

[The B.O.B.]

I guess Helm wasn't kidding when he mentioned how long Snake took on that piece. Forking amazing.

Glad most people got their stuff in time. Great job everybody, I thoroughly enjoyed looking through each one of YOUR presents

[halu]

I have a feeling snake probably spent every day since the sign-up on his piece, and every hour of each day o_O
God snake, why are you so good?

[8bitty]

thanks, Panda! i just PM'd mine to you... merry chirstmas everyone

[DrDerekDoctors]

Yay! Thanks muchly Flaber! It's like a likkle me in a box. Aww...

EDIT: Note to Fil_Razorback, mine definitely benefits from being zoomed in. It's gorra' lotta' dark colours in it.

[Panda]

Thank you for your gift Monsoon2d, looks so neat.
I was strong enough not clicking the link until the thread was posted. It was really tempting


And you are welcome 8bitty, hope you like it. (and I added your present)

[vedsten]

ey roobv, if your doubting wtf i made you, it's supposed to be sprites for your game
i tried pimping up your main char. and do an enemy one, unfortuneatly, im terrible with sprites though, so they turned out a bit mehhh

Anyhow, hope you have a merry christmas!

fakta: thanks man, i know it would've been easier if i came up wiuth some wishes, but i've been absolutely swamped this december, and im fond of your space-christmas-pixel present, a merry christmas to you too.

And to the rest of pixelation - great effort all around - it's so f. great to have pixelation back - merry christmas to all of you!

EDIT: ohh yea, forgot to say GREAT job panda, props for organizing this, best ss-thread ever

[Ragnarok]

I KNOW THAT I'M A PIXEL NOOB WITH 2 CAPITAL O'S, BUT WILL NOBODY GIVE ME THE SYMPATHY VOTE?!  I     GOT    NO     PRESENT!!!?! 

[Rawsushi]

You're welcome, Panda. There are a few minor details (and one major detail) that I still need to add; You may want to check the image in about 24 hours to see what it should have looked like. I was just a bit over-ambitious.

PS: Thanks for the gifts, Scotteh. 

[Opacus]

Thanks alot Soup! Mery christmas mate!

Snake: omgwtfbbq...

[Scotteh]

Monsoon i felt bad so i made u a stereo so u can listen to some tunes (this is my first ever animation to)

[Stwelin]

Thanks gliding, for mine. i love it.
Merry Christmas everyone.

I wonder how many caffeinated beverages Snake went through before finishing his, looks fuh-reaking amazing.

[Opacus]

I KNOW THAT I'M A PIXEL NOOB WITH 2 CAPITAL O'S, BUT WILL NOBODY GIVE ME THE SYMPATHY VOTE?!  I     GOT    NO     PRESENT!!!?! 

Calm down a bit, 2 people didn't make their present, they will be banned temporarily, one of those was probably yours.

[Gunne]

Thanks very much Indigo, haha it looks very funny already!

Wow, great gifts here. Yes the one from snake is enormously great, I like the tingle from Panda as well..

Happy Holidays everyone, party wise!

[Terley]

wow thank you so much miascugh! its really awesome! 

they're all amazing, a lot of people have produced their best work yet here.

[Larwick]

I agree with Terley, so much great stuff! Puts a real smile on my face.

Thaaankkkyuuuu veeery much Akira, it looks awesome so far! Can't wait to see the finished version. 
I was wondering if i should wait till tomorow but i couldn't help myself. 

And Delphinus, it does suck you were left out.
It's also a shame the person i made mine for hasn't been around.. i hope they come back soon and respond.

Oh and..

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Lol not that i'm in the mood or anything.

[Akzidenz]

Hahahaha, THANK YOU Alien Quark! I love it.

[Cow]

Thanks a lot GodSlayer. Christmas Spirit Points + 5

And Snake, that is the greatest thing I've seen in my life. Seriously.

[crab2selout.png]

fly, I'm veeeeery curious about yours. I guess that's Link in the foreground, but I cant make out what is in the background. Your filename is making me think all kidns of things.

Toby, heheheh. Very nice, and I like the style.

Junkboy, a little high voltage rock, hmm. I likes as well [ no rocking smileys?  ]

AleinQuark, suspiciously similar to mine ... except your robot is much more awesome. I'll need to prod your brain for ideas the next time I make a robot.

Ptoing, that is hot! Wonderful execution!

Ecko, I'm not familiar with the monster in your piece. Is it your own creation or from a game or something? I like the monster. Neat design.

Snake, B3ST3ST ID3A EV@R?!?

Thanks, Skull, it's the zombie/nuclear apocalypse I've been dreaming of. I tip my zombie-debrainer to you.

Miascugh, unicorn power. Neat. http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF024AD-Nice_T_Shirt.jpg#94

akira, mockups are my favourite and this one looks interesting. I'm eagerly waiting for the finished product.

akzidenz, that is the goofiest secret santa i've seen thus far. I gonna find that songso I can play it while I watch the animation.

Lots of LOZ Links here. Makes me want to break out my old zelda avatar

Monsoon2d, never a disappointment. Your AA/dithering is hot as always

GOODNIGHTDESTROYER, I'm hailing in whatever manner my religion allows.

Wilfaulds. Scary. I hope it wont haunt my harddrive now that I've saved it.

Pixelblink, I like what you've done so far. the texturing on the alien is great. Another WIP I'm looking forward to seeing finished.

Crab2selout.png, OMG U ARE SO B@DASS. TRANSFORMERS ROX W00T OPTIMUS ENERGON LOL

cave, great emulation of hte kirby style.


HALFWAY-3/4 POINT: whew. takes a while to download these iamges when you need to edit each filename to include the giver and the receiver.

Shadow Wolf! My favourite subject matter makes another appearance! It's been a wonderfully green Christmas(although I wouldn't mind having a white Christmas up here in Ontario )

Adam Tierney, I'm having fun playing with the zoom on yours. I think that's the first time I've seen that kind of image in a secret santa

Darien, i like the concept. I had a similar idea of an irritable/controlling santa myself except mine was going to be of Santa forcing his sleigh and reindeer through the glass windows of building. The idea never took off so I made a Transformer instead.

Zach, is that his flaming monkey? Pretty damn cool.

And I'm starting to get busy so Xion Night, Faceless, llooren, Indigo, Vedsten, 8bitty, I thought they were all great. Llooren, gets special marks for making a third zombie.



Panda, when people update, could you make a little list at the bottom so people who are saving these to their hardrive(like me) know which images they need to save again?

All you WIPers, no eggnog until you finish

[Soup]

Thanks a bunch stewelin!

[JWW]

well didnt get a present, but i hope adamatomic likes his
oh and snake stole christmas

[GOODNIGHTdestroyer]

Snake, I don't understand how you can do those things. Simply Amazing.

Ego, thanks alot for the gift. I'm not exactly sure what i'm seeing, but i like it. Orange happens to be my favorite color. Good going.

Merry christmas everyone.

[Ego]

<3cave. I love it!
GOODNIGHTdestroyer, I REALLY hope you like yours *sweatdrop*

(this place needs a sweatdrop smily, you know?)

[Toby]

OH SOMEONES FUCKING GOD!

I was kinda hoping for snake to be my secret santa and.. holy fuck. This beats anything and everything else I've got - EVER Snake, I love you. I fucking love you. :]

Faceless, I wasn't quite sure what to do since you didn't specify any intrests but I'm glad you liked what I came up with

[Zach]

oh shit 8bitty, your my hero man x_x

[gliding]

Thanks Kclic!

I love the blue colour schemeXD



I'm glad you liked it stwelin. ^.^

[Skull]

Crab2selout.png, OMG U ARE SO B@DASS. TRANSFORMERS ROX W00T OPTIMUS ENERGON LOL

It was pretty bad-ass..

[G_Dragon]

Thanks Delgneith for the present. It's pretty awesome.
Darien, sorry this isn't pixel art. Turns out my pixel art skills are rather crappy. I was going to do something using polygons and such, but I ran out of time. And vector art is fun!

[Pawige]

Thanks, AIGuy! And merry Christmas to all!

[Xion]

W00t!!!!11!!
Haha, awesome!!!
Thanks Shadow Wolf, I'll hug him and shotgun him and I think I'll call him George.


...Colossus Katamari holy $#!t!!!


Amazing stuff everyone, and Merry Christmas everyone!

[AdamAtomic]

JWW the dino is hilarious and adorable, thanks man!!  I particularly like the miniature hat for the tip of his tail

Taking a spin through everyone else's gifts I have to say I am totally impressed, this is such an awesome community.  The ones that jumped out to me as being pretty special (aside from mine and JWW's, of course )  were akzidenz, miascugh, tierney, killedbysuicide, blick (even though I assume its a WIP, awesome potential!!), darien, and xion night.  Awesome stuff guys!  You really made this thing worth it I think for everyone.

As for Snake, I don't even know where to start.  Your kolossomari was saved to my inspiration folder alongside Metal Slug and a few select other jawdroppers.  I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it, and I don't really expect to ever again.

[Faktablad]

Thank you so much Filax, it looks excellent.  Summoning the power of the gift.  Have a very merry christmas, buddy.   

You're welcome, vedsten. 

[Ryumaru]

snake: its amazing to me how you pump out that pure pixel sex as always.
thanks colonel mustard, i really like it!

[flaber]

awsome presents everyone
fun looking through them


im loving the present though, blick.
despite it being a wip/unfinished it still pulled me in imediatly
great gaytor pirate
thanks, again

[Darien]

Thanks, G_Dragon.  It's okay it's not pixel art, looks good in any case. 

junkboy, I'm sorry my gift isn't finished.  It will be though, I swear!

Great work everyone

[Indigo]

Thank you so much, AtomAtomic!!  that truly has got to be the best christmas present i've ever recieved.  HAHA, it even has my signature hat!  Right on!  (to all that don't know, a favorite hobby of mine is shopping cart racing, usually being towed behind a car)  I may have to make a mockup for this thing. 

a full apology to KilledBySuicide for the WIP, I'll finish it today.  I just got so dang caught up in work. 

[JWW]

glad you like it adam

[AdamTierney]

Thanks Zach! *sniff* It's been a long time since I thought about that little guy. 

[Opacus]

No problem Xion, I actually found it a bit...incuficient when I saw yours
Merry christmas!

[.TakaM]

thanks pixelblink, and great work all around guys!
merry xmas everyone 

[AlienQuark]

AleinQuark, suspiciously similar to mine ... except your robot is much more awesome. I'll need to prod your brain for ideas the next time I make a robot.

Wel,l the only similarity is that they could both be called robots. That's about where the similarity ended.

My person said he liked robots, so that's why I did one.

And THANK YOU for the present KilledBySuicide, the bird especially tickles my fancy.

[eqko]

awesome Gift Xion ... that looks totally cool and is saved to a special place.

Crab2selout.png ... the monster in my gif is of my own design cool to hear you like it.

btw, be sure to look longer then 10 seconds at my gift (this goes especially for Adarias, since it's his gift) there's a tiny animation after 10s

[Terley]

im 'still' looking through in amazement. gotta say, happy christmas guys.

[lloorren]

PixelBlink listed his interests as "zombies, boobs, zombies with boobs, and battlestar galactica" so I tried to combine it all. XD I'll probably update it a ton and send a more improved version

Sent one, but did not receive one.

I touched it up a bit!

[miascugh]

Lovely work anyone, especially Snake, Blick, Monsoon, TakaM, and Xion.

Terley: It's as dark, evil, out of the ordinary as it gets. At least the signation isn't cheesy

[Blick]

Holy shit these are epic. Thanks, Terley, I'm loving the colors and lighting.

And flaber, I'm glad you like it. I hope to finish it eventually :X

Haha, Mia, my reaction to yours was interesting. "A unicorn? Hahaha, THAT'S AWESOME."

[Terley]

thanks Blick, its supposed to be me, in demon form  granting your christmas wish 

[pixelblink]

lol... thanks lloorren! I love how you incorporated a bunch of my likes into one piece! That rocks!
Amazing stuff from all you guys n gals!
Taka: My monitor looks like it's giving me no grief today... I'll try and finish it up ASAP

[Souly]

Ryumaru that is amazing. 
I love it. 
It's pink, and the pose is amazing.
I love how you do your muscle sructure.

That really insipired me.
It's great, one of my top favorite drawings.

[Delgneith]

Thanks mccow28 it looks really good. Glad you like the present G_Dragon.

Merry Christmas everyone.

[fil_razorback]

Thank you so much DrDerekDoctors !
Excellent idea, excellent realisation...I love it  

[snake]

Hahaha. That little snake is adorable Halu. Thank you!

Also, thanks for the kind words people. I just worked on it on and off since I signed up. No universes were consumed during it's production

Lovely entries. Excellent work everyone!

Merry Christmas!

[SolidIdea]

Thank you Willfaulds!  Would have the animation in the original res? =] Very sexy ant-eater hahaha!

Won't Noveroth see my gift? 

[Faceless]

Well Neveroth has a good reason for not submitting one according to Panda, so he won't be banned, unless he still doesn't have one in a week or two, so he may still get to see your gift to him.

[crab2selout.png]

Wel,l the only similarity is that they could both be called robots. That's about where the similarity ended.

My person said he liked robots, so that's why I did one.

And THANK YOU for the present KilledBySuicide, the bird especially tickles my fancy.

heh, I know, i was just messing around

[pixelblink]

Taka: reload my gift and you'll see an update

[Helm]

Whoa, guys, what's with signaturing your gifts?! Too big, too large!

[.TakaM]

looks great PB, alf = 

..youre not a nobody's watching fan by any chance are you? >_>

bah humbug!

[pixelblink]

Taka: Haven't watched it yet (no pun intended)... but I heard about it recently and I'm intrigued

Helm: sorry dude... you're probably right

[Sherman Gill]

Argh, am I late?
Thank you, Pawige, I like it!


And you're welcome, Halu

[junkboy]

Thanks, Darien! I hope you finish it, because it looks great so far. Nothing like a grumpy pimp-Santa to lighten up christmas!

[Rerg1]

Mine sucked. Skull I'm making a new one for you.

[Panda]

Time for submitting is over.
Adarias, roobv, DrNoodles and rabidbaboy have been banned.

[Rerg1]

And one of those (You know what) didn't make me a present .

[cave]

<3cave. I love it!

I'm glad Merry x-mas!

Time for submitting is over.
Adarias, roobv, DrNoodles and rabidbaboy have been banned.

 HO HO HO

... I mean

That's a shame.

[Rerg1]

I miss them.

[halu]

Hahaha. That little snake is adorable Halu. Thank you!

Also, thanks for the kind words people. I just worked on it on and off since I signed up. No universes were consumed during it's production

Lovely entries. Excellent work everyone!

Merry Christmas!

I feel honored, I'm glad you liked it

[Soup]

I felt bad for all those people who did not get any presents so
It sucks balls, but I tried.

[Rerg1]

Thank you Soup .

Halu, you got blessed man. Be proud.

[willfaulds]

Feron, much appreciated dude.  SolidIdea of course you can - I was hoping to maybe give yor gift an update in the near future anyway - do you want working files too?

[Godslayer]

 

No pwesent fow me.

 

[Rerg1]

Because no one likes you.


As much as me.

AND TO CHEER ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT GET... (apple)... JACK

[Feron]

Because no one like you.

Rerg, stop spamming this thread with pointless posts.  there are at least 5 posts from you in this thread with no actual point.  dont reply to this either, just grow-up.

Feron, much appreciated dude.

np, finding out that you liked indiana jones was quite hard.  thank god for myspace.   

[dyuaru]

Thanks to Sampe for the gift, I really like the cool design elements put into it, thanks alot.
Looking back I could've added alot more to the background of my scene to make it alot more interesting, I think I'll create a background for it and make a present addition.
Anyways snakes is just plain crazy 

[Ryumaru]

Ryumaru that is amazing.
I love it.
It's pink, and the pose is amazing.
I love how you do your muscle sructure.

That really insipired me.
It's great, one of my top favorite drawings.

hah, youre welcome man. had lots of fun doing it.

[Rerg1]

Rymura your works are great with the muscles and stuff.

Panda, can I see who didnt give me a present? or is it still like on.

[AIGuy]

Thanks AdamTierney!  I like the style!

[AdamTierney]

Time for submitting is over.
Adarias, roobv, DrNoodles and rabidbaboy have been banned.

Yikes!  Well, I guess everyone had fair warning.

[Noveroth]

With the Amazing gift i got, and the awesome work JWW did, I shal work EXTRA HARD! FOR THE SAKE OF CHRISTMAS SPIRIT! [/loud speaking]

Yeah.

[GOODNIGHTdestroyer]

I feel bad for adarias i know how busy he is.

[Opacus]

I feel bad for adarias i know how busy he is.

Panda did say you should only sign in if you're absolutely sure you could participate though.

[eqko]

bummer too since now I don't know if Adarias liked my gift 

[The B.O.B.]

well, I think I saw your's posted on Pixeljoint.com, so I'm sure if you list it in the description as his christmas present, he'll see it. It's not like he's banned from all pixel art websites...

(P.S. I thought your piece was pretty cool...)

[Opacus]

And Panda said the ban is temporarely, not forever. So he'll see it soon or later.

[Souly]

And Panda said the ban is temporarely, not forever. So he'll see it soon or later.

Besides only his account is banned.
He can still see it as a guest.

[Colonel Mustard]

thanks colonel mustard, i really like it!

I hope you do :O I did my best Perhaps next christmas, snake should be everyones secret santa? ;P In all honesty, there are loads of splendid presents here, with exception for those who didn't manage to finish one before the deadline. Success? I think so

Thank you dyuaru for the cute little elf

[Rerg1]

Will we ever know who didn't give our pressie?.

[Ragnarok]

Good point, I want to punish them severely. Bwahaha. *Rubs hands evilly*

[lloorren]

It's been a week and still no more? Oh well.

[Panda]

Will we ever know who didn't give our pressie?.

The person pixelling for you is one of the three that didn't get banned, so just wait for a week or two.
As for Ragnarok's, yours ended banned (it was rabidbaboy by the way).

[halu]

Thank you Soup .

Halu, you got blessed man. Be proud.

Whatcha mean Rerg?

[Scotteh]

Snake said your work was adorable Halu, that is one hell of a blessing

[snake]

Honestly guys. You're giving me too much credit here...

[Rerg1]

No we are not.

Snake, do you do like Graphics art for a living ( Stupid Quesiton) and like.. how old are you? :S Sorry if I am being rude.

[Ryumaru]

you? too much credit? werent you the one that did that amazing piece? yeah thats what i thought

[Panda]

xegnma, Sohashu and Noveroth, you 3 will have until this Friday (12th of January) to come up with your present. If I don't get anything by then, you will be banned. You got more than enough time already.

And those with WIPS and IOUs, you better work on yours as soon as possible, or I'll have to start hunting you down. I've seen some gifts that progressed, but quite a few didn't. Remember, the whole thing was supposed to be for Christmas, so this should be high on your priorities.

[The B.O.B.]

Grr. The mighty Panda has spoken.

Not to mention, that he's giving you a WHOLE WEEK to finish this. I'm pretty sure that's enough time finish pixeling a piece. Hope you guys get it in on time...

[Opacus]

Honestly guys. You're giving me too much credit here...

Yeah, far too much. I thought it was awfull 

[Xion]

lol @ snake.
You know he's thinking
"Gee, I know I'm good but there has to be a limit to these peoples' praise and suckupiness."
haha. Ugh.
Well, Snake, as a departure from the norm, I think you suck.

[GOODNIGHTdestroyer]

I think your piece seems kind of rushed. Did you actually pixel the clouds by hand, or did you trace or what?

[lloorren]

I hate to sound rude, but since I haven't received a present, is one of the members currently making one (supposedly) making one for me? I just don't know if I should keep checking back on this thread or not.

[Panda]

Well, your pair got banned. I guess check back once the ban is over on February.

[The B.O.B.]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/Xionight/Secretsanta2.png

Wow, never saw that one. Looks great Xion!

[Xion]

Thank you, The.

[Rerg1]

Nice, I didn't to.

Nice one 

[Panda]

None of the three I gave extra time came up with their presents.
I might give mercy once, but not twice. They have been banned until the end of February.

[Feron]

None of the three I gave extra time came up with their presents.
I might give mercy once, but not twice. They have been banned until the end of February.

Why not make it march?   

[ptoing]

Faceless: Sorry for my late reply, I saw it on the 27th and I had to chuckle. For that you win

[Faceless]

Faceless: Sorry for my late reply, I saw it on the 27th and I had to chuckle. For that you win

No problem. I'm relieved you like it. I had toyed with the idea of a c64 piece, but elected against it.

[Panda]

Today, being the 1st of February, would mean that the ban for the first round of "no-gifters" would be over.
However I'll try to hunt each of you down, so you come up with a present for your partner.

Same thing goes for people with WIPs and IOUs.
Think of this as an official warning before I have to PM you one by one.
Your presents were supposed to be for Christmas, and yet we are already in February.
So you better start pixelling or else.

[GOODNIGHTdestroyer]

You can't ban them anymore! Whether they do their presents or not. You just cannot.

[The B.O.B.]

Yeah. I mean, for one month, I'm pretty sure they learned their lesson. Maybe a swift kick to the balls if they don't feel like turning in a present. And if they're girls, a purple-nurple will do nicely.

[Panda]

You can't ban them anymore! Whether they do their presents or not. You just cannot.

I never mentioned I would.

[AdamTierney]

You can't ban them anymore! Whether they do their presents or not. You just cannot.

Or, ya know, they can just get off their asses and pixel for an hour. :p I'm incredibly busy right now and I still made time for a present.

- Adam

[ptoing]

You can't ban them anymore! Whether they do their presents or not. You just cannot.

Technically speaking he could

But I have to agree with Adam here. They should just sit down and focus on it for a bit, it's not like it's that hard.

Well, Akira is making an incredibly complicated present, which would take alot longer than an hour to complete, and i'm completely fine with that  So whatever you do, don't ban him.

Heh, yeah. So just don't tempt me 


But really, what pisses me off is that the whole thing was optional and no one forced anyone to join; yet some people signed up and didn't deliver.
What about all the people that were left without a gift? Did you think about them by any chance? and it also brings some more questions, is it that hard to stop doing some other non-necessary activities (watching tv, playing games, browsing the net etc etc) in order to make a present for someone? and if so, why did you sign up?
It is shameful that the whole banning had to happen.
(By any means I'm not blaming those who participated and delivered properly, but those that had to end up banned)

   Speaking of which, what happened to Adarias? Now that the curse has been lifted, I thought he would soon emerge. Still haven't seen a trace of him, yet. Would have been awesome to see him in pixelator. Even better yet, Niss. What the F*** happened to that awesome German? He was practically my fav pixel artist in the color choice department, and strange scenes.
   I hope they both make a return some time. Would be wicked awesome if they both returned in time for Pixelator part Deux: The Return of the Challengers!....

Adarias has posted once since he's been unbanned.

i've been busy with a college application, 6 masterpieces in two weeks, not to mention the three only slightly smaller applications i was doing before i recieved this one.   Many appologies.  I wasnt around even to check my pm's until just this last couple of days >.< so i wasnt even aware of how much notice i was given (which, to my shame, was quite a bit).  i feel like a real ass tbh

im going to try and get my christimas valentines day present done soon though, when i find time.  Worry not, llooren, i havent entirely forgotten.

you still enjoy "Soviet Russia, Political humor, techno, visual arts, Man Ray, Andy Warhol, Stephen Colbert, and grafiti" ?

While i wasn't doing any of those things, i can't pretend to have a particularly legitimate reason, (no family death, loss of limb, etc).  As far as did i think about them, im going to be honest - i did not.  i forgot entirely.  I wasn't here for the weeks before and after christmas, and found out i was banned from either fil or ryumaru via instant messenger.  I had to spend some time searching today for who my person was to begin with.  it would be nice to have an excuse, but i don't.

Another appology to whoever it was that had my name, i don't know if that person made one or not (are these things posted anywhere?) but they deserve a thanks that was not given if they did.  If anyone has it, or if that person is still around, i would love a link so that i can thank them better for it, as my current expression gratitude feels shallow when shrouded in ignorance.

I think eqko made this one for you, Adarias:
