Esmaralda Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Original My changes: Hope you like them! =) Esmaralda Edit: Just noticed the rule that says "[b][font=Georgia]don't use anything but your own creations in the scenes[/font][/b]" . Some of the items used in the picture I did not hand drawn, or manually drawn using photoshop. They were images that I got from the web and modified to meet my design, so they are not my own (eg. the shadow people on the left was actually a picture of children playing in snow that I messed with to reach that outcome. Same idea with the snowman and the presents). That probably fails the rule so it probably disqualifies me from this contest. None-the-less, I think the image turned out pretty good =) Edited December 9, 2011 by Esmaralda ZenTao, Eon, Neno Veliki and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenTao Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 No worries Esmaralda, once you change an image its your creation, after all it's no longer children in the snow. I think both submissions are fantastic myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dst Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Christmas is coming and it's time for me to bury the hatchet (or should I say Axe) of war. So, I...turned Tree into a Fire tree and decorated it! And I also wished him and its master (Goaty Boy) Merry Christmas (in a certain goaty style). Maybe Santa will be nice to it this year and it will get something more then coal [attachment=3387:MC_tree2.png] Neno Veliki, ZenTao and Watcher 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmaralda Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Ok, then my previous entry should be disqualified as I used images of people that I didn't take (the shadow people in the corner were originally children playing in the snow). Maybe if I have time I will redo the image, though I do like how the shadow people turned out =) Edited December 7, 2011 by Esmaralda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowseeker Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) A conspiracy!!! Recently disturbing events have been unfolding... See my screenshot of the events to see what the evil priests are doing! Help the tiny men save Christmas!!! Edit: The picture may be a bit too big for some screens or just looking in here, please make sure to find the details (MD is hidden a bit in there) Edit2: I reattached another version in small, it really looks better that way. I had to stretch it to make it easier to edit, so the first one was big. I removed the first one now.

Krioni Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 So I know this may sound like a "duh" question, but we aren't allowed to draw anything at all? Only software is allowed, no pen/pencil? I am still trying to think about what to enter, but I just wanted to make sure I understood before doing anything.

ZenTao Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, you got the idea no pencils pens nothing but software, you can however use a paint program such as the basic Microsoft version of Paint or download one of many great free software products, such as Gimp to paint with, or if you are lucky enough to have Photoshop or similar software you may use those. Think computer graphic arts. Have Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaya Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wouldn't it be nice if the lake got frozen, so the Angien could ice skate and we could walk to the shrine during Christmas?
