Secret Santa Exchange 2012

Well it's Jan 1st in some parts of the world, and artwork is finished for everyone who participated, so I'll open this thread now.

Here's where you can post and share your Secret Santa artwork. I was so impressed, everyone did such a wonderful job.

I'm sad to say there were a few people who didn't finish their art. Here's the list this year:

• Tgoga
  
• ninikun
  
• Bconnell
  
• DevilsLady
  
• pompon-chan

If you drew for one of these people, I've decided to leave it up to you if you want to share your artwork or not. It is a little unfair that they would be receiving free art, but at the same time it's unfair for you to not get to show off your hard work. A good compromise, if you like, is to watermark it. But it's your artwork so it's up to you.

Luckily a couple of these people actually were supposed to draw for each other anyway, so we only ended up needing 3 volunteers to fill in. Thank you SO much to all our volunteers and everyone who offered. I think more than half the people who submitted also offered to volunteer, so I want to say thank you and I appreciate it a ton. Thanks to you guys, nobody gets left out.

That should be everything. Happy new year everyone and enjoy the art!

I'll just post them both up! :3

For thewishbunny:



And my orig Secret Santa for pompon-chan:

Hi, click me. For Duskglass.

My secret santa was for Varethane! This was fun to do, what a cool character!

Thank you, Mashimizu!

I drew for Tiuni, and volunteered for Carapace.



(I have larger/unmarked PNGs; if you want a shiny bigger version I'd be happy to send it.)

Hey there all! Happy New Year!!! Glad we all survived that apocalypse! Whoot!

I drew for the wonderful, Mlen!!

Here's your art! - I drew your oc, Mavie. I noticed you had a lot of pretty art of her, so I decided to draw from the other end of the spectrum:




Mavie tends to claw at her choker when she has glimpses of her past! I like the idea of her having a panic attack, because I'm morbid that way. Hope you like it! And Merry belated christmas!

here it is on DA

Looks like my recipient couldn't make it, unfortunately. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun drawing BConnell's request.
On a side note, everyone's artwork looks terrific! Wish I had colouring skills like that, haha.
Happy New Year, secret santa's!

AaahhH!! Thank you Selini, I love it!! ;u; <3

For Kuakness! I really loved drawing this character and I experimented a lot, I hope you like it! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year <3

And to Selini... oh man, all I can think is CUTE CUTE CUTE ;w; You drew all four characters and a bonus pic, that was so super nice, thank you so SO much <3 They all look adorable, I love the outfit designs, and your style <3 I'm really digging the individual Heinz picture, I love his puffed-up chest X3 Oh wow, that just looks wonderful, thank you again, I really really love it <333

And... I guess I missed the volunteer thing, sorry about that! If you happen to need anyone else to do any more art, let me know

Thank you so much Duskglass!!! I love it, you made her look so classy and refined, haha! <3

Late reply is late~ :<

That's normally the case~ ^_^; But I reeally love this one!!!! This is like my first morbid art I've ever gotten!! <333333 Thank you SO much!!! *hugs to death* (Happy new year to you too!!)

And my Secret Santa is for Ensanguined Rhapsody~!!! Sorry, I wasn't very good at fanart, so I went with an avie. Hope you like it though~!

Oh my gosh Tiuni it's beautiful!! Thank you so much, I love it! Astrid's lookin mighty fine, heehee.

I drew for Moesph! Their character May.

I don't think it's necessarily about showing off our work or an equal exchange in the end - what are we doing Christmas for if not at least for the spirit of giving without something necessarily in return?

I drew for DevilsLady, of her and her RP partner's (i'm guessing anyway. lol) OCs cuddling all dressed up for a (ravey, or at least gothy) night out.

I'm only a day late to the party!
Thank you so much, Varethane, I love it! Sorry about the lack of any write up on the chars, I don't like posting my stories up.

I drew for aaawhyme.
Ok so I tried painting, but my scanner just eats up all the colours, sorry.





Aaaaand

Mlen: Thank you thank you thank you a thousand times!!!!! :DDD You've done an terrific job and I am absolutely in love with his expression!! XD

OH MY GOSH, Duskglass, THANK YOU! I love the colors, and the outfit! And that crooked grin, spot-on!XD It's all fantastic! And that was a volunteer mission, so you must have had to double-shift the work at the last minute, and it's still so great! Thank you thank you thank you!
Heck yes, I'd love a full-size shiny version! *squeeing forever*

I got Selini! And I was sad not to be able to find a spot for penguins, but....


Sorry to be posting late, I though they were all going up in one big modded mega-post. I hope you like it, and sorry for the wait!

So I'm late to the party. Hope I didn't miss the last dance.
I drew some Inuyasha slash for 3phemeral. I had a few other sketches, but those aren't on this computer so I'll have to get those to them some other time. I had alot of fun drawing these two after so many years, but I'm so sorry I couldn't get your original characters down right, so this was a nice save, I guess.... I really liked a few of them. I'd really like to fix this one up sometime, if you wanted. Seems pretty rushed.

Holy space urchins, Batman. You're amazing! I never imagined him in such a realistic way; this is beyond adorable. I really love just about every detail, especially the eyes and teeth. It looks like this must have been loads of fun to draw, droplets mostly. Thank you so much, wholeheartedly. I'm going to end up printing this out for my wall. And I'll have you know you've gained a new follower, your artwork is stellar. ^ 3^~♥

ommgggg, inuyasha and koga! aaah! I love that picture! It's not even for me, and I love it!
