Cool idea ;)

This started out as a quick sketch,

they're all great, but gunbu - that image is hysterical! :chug:

[MGH]

This is cheating a bit, as I did it @ 5 years ago. It's an old fashioned acrylic type painting.

[Jack Frost]

the crapping santa I saw someone else do five years ago my freshman year in college....I guess its a common idea

[poly_cube]

there was an old motorcycle shop i used to go to and it had the Santa pooing down the chimney but it said "your gift is on its way."

still its a timeless classic and Gunbu drawing keept me laughign for a while. simply awesome

[Yesterdays_Edge]

yeah, that crapping santa idea has been around for a loooooooong while, my great uncle was telling an artist friend of his made him a card like that back in the 30's.....so yeah, but hey, it's still cute

paulo, love the suco santa!!!
everyone keep it all comin!!!

[Ian Mack]

Lovin' the composition in that 2nd mate!

[devilbunny]

hey, just realized this thread exists. gunbu, i love it!
this is my holiday card for this year. sort of a whacky christmas self portrait....
http://jenniferrodgers.com/holiday3.jpg
If anyone can think of a message that's appropriate, amusing and festive to put on the inside of the card, I'd be eternally grateful. I've got nothin'!

Gunbu, too funny.
Love the rest as well.

[Gunbu]

Haha, glad you guys like my pic :D
I know I've seen the idea done somewhere before, but when I tried looking for another one like it, I couldn't find any. So, I figured I'd do my take on it.
This thread is pretty good so far, keep 'em comin.

[Flint]

Ok...

[Matt Dixon]

*edit* Gortron's escaped into his own thread. Doesn't seem right to have a pic posted twice, so I've removed this one...

[bakabwa]

Matt Dixon thats the saddest picture ive ever seen i feel so bad for the robot :( maybe the fact that hes so rusty and scary and hes holding a little teddy bear i think its so tragic. and its even worse when theres one dim lightbulb hanging above them. if this was deviantart id favourite it. this is such a good piece i love it.

[Zebz]

Dude, there is so some freakin' great art in here! That Santa Kong rules!

Merry Freakin' Christmas everyone! LoL Everyone always posts holiday art on these forums so I felt like I needed to do the same. The other day I was sketching some concepts for an abominable snowmen type guy and this is one of the silly ones I had. So tonight I drew it out a little bit nicer and inked it, scanned it and spent way more time coloring it then I did drawing it. LoL I bet I drew and inked it in like 20 minutes a meanwhile it took me like 4 hours to color it. My second CG but I think I'm getting better. Still tons of room for improvment. And I did this one with a mouse too. I'm hoping for a tablet under the tree. Time will only tell, eh? If it isn't there I'm gonna buy one this weekend. I'm getting addicted to this whole digital painting thing. :P So yeah, crit all you want. Comments are great. But this is also meant as a fun little wish to all of you. Have a great holiday. Take care and be safe. Hope you get all you want! And don't forget to give a little. ;)
