It's that time of year again. The secret santa is fairly simple.

Signups are now closed.


Step 1) Sign up before December 1st with a picture request. This may or may not involve your comic characters and does not even have to be holiday themed. If you request nothing, then you may receive anything. Just leave a post in this thread.

Step 2) On December 1st I will randomize those who signed up and inform everyone of who they are a secret santa for. You will have until December 20th to complete the request and post it in the corresponding thread.

Step 3) Profit!

If you are feeling extra generous, you may sign up to fulfill requests by deadbeat members who did not complete step 2 (i.e. Deadbeat Watch Committee or DWC). Please specify when signing up if you'd like to participate in that end.


The following are banned from participation (if they're even still around) due to being deadbeats last year.

It's based on a story idea of mine.

I'm in! I'd love for the person who gets stuck with me to draw a holiday-themed picture featuring his or her favorite Salt character(s). It can be silly or sweet - I don't mind ^.^

Vakanai, regardless of who gets your name, I can't WAIT to see that picture!

amanda
Vakanai, regardless of who gets your name, I can't WAIT to see that picture!

Yeah. A mythological Norse giant fighting guys with guns in modern times is something I haven't seen before. If I can ever figure out a story for it it would be awesome.
But alas, all I can think of is scenes. Stupid imagination, failing me at all the coolest ideas. Work brain, work damn you!

Oh, and I'd like it to be at night. Cause night time pics are best.

I now realize that as complicated as my pic is, by the laws of karma I'm going to be given a harder picture to make.
>_<

I'll probably be the poor fool that gets stuck drawin' that…

Hmm, I suppose you could put me up for this as well.

As for a picture request, I'm thinking something holiday-related with my Paint Heroes characters :P

I think deadbeat members should be identified by name in a newspost, to take advantage of maximum shame-based motivation. (Aren't previous years' deadbeats barred from this year?)

Technically they are, but last year's were never explicitly stated. Just those who didn't get a piece. Give me a little time and I'll reverse-engineer the list to figure out culprits.

For the record, even though I didn't mention it earlier, I'll be happy to help out with additional presents if we have any deadbeats this year.

But we won't have any deadbeats this year… RIGHT? *looks mean and intimidating*

Sign me up again. ^_^

I'd like winter-themed (Christmas, New Years, or just non-holiday winter scene) featuring any Used Books characters.

Sorry, if I had seen this post earlier I could have saved you the trouble as I reverse-engineered it last year and I still had the list. Oh well. :)

I'll join in. My request will be Holiday-themed fan art.

count me in!
I would like a picture of uper dave throwing cats at people in a santa outfit!
with people responding badly to the cat throwing. very badly.

Count me in!
I've always wanted to be a part of this!!
And I'll take over if someone's a deadbeat, too!

My request - DNA themed!

Yes, I would like to play.
I don't know what the game is, but I want in.

If it's just one picture, then I want something fleshy and quasi-realistic. I never get the chance to do naked women in space. (Wait… yes I do.) But, yes. I guess it doesn't have to be naked. Maybe just curvy and gelatinous.
Whatever. I'm game.
I'll pick up for a deadbeat or two, too.

S. (Froobius)

Woot! Okay! I'm in.. uh.. but don't care what picture so long as it doesn't offend my virgin eyes. O_O Can we post them on our comics?

Yay!! Secret Santa stuffs! I wonder who I get to draw piccies for… oooh…..

I'm in! :D swamped with projects right now but I should be done by December, so what the hell.

I'd like a holiday-themed picture of the two main characters from my comic, Kimeral. (Kimasu and Melau)

*excited* C:

Definitely count me in! I love Secret Santas…
I'd like a picture with a HeroGirl character…Preferably HG herself…and/or Lynn (who will show up soon). It can be X-mas, New Years, winter themed or just normal.

I'll join in, this sounds fun. I want a warped picture of one of those mall santa's.

I'll join in, this sounds fun. I want a warped picture of one of those mall santa's.

What about a mall Jesus? Now that would be funny! Think about it you got two costumes for Christmas and Easter… Consolidate!

I'd love to play along. :D Um … as for what I want … um … something nifty? Something cyberpunky? Or steampunky? Or horror-y. Or fairy-tale-in-a-modern-setting-y. Or … um … something good. Guess it doesn't really matter what. Holiday is OK, as long as it's not religious-y. It can use something from something I've drawn (here or deviantArt, as long as it's not something I've drawn for someone else and posted at DA) but it doesn't have to.

I very much enjoyed this last year… and would very much like to be apart of it again this year!!!

So, sign me up please!!!

I would like to see Melvin (the main character of Raw Fish ) wrapping Christmas gifts… or should I say not doing a very good job of wrapping gifts. You know, paper everywhere, tape where it should not be… you get it!

You can also sign me up for cover work for any deadbeats…

Corey

Oh! Oh! I want to join this year. n.n

My request: Out of any and all of my characters, find the silliest most uncannon pairing you can imagine, in a cute puppy-love christmas setting.

And I don't care how you interpret that, just have fun. n.n

Man that reply button was hard to find! (it is very early for me!)

Me too! Me too!

I'd like something featuring any of the “My Imaginary Life” characters up to something in the snow.

Can probably sign up for Deadbeat cover if the pics are to be caught up with after the 20th; my own I can do by then, but work gets hectic leading up to the festive period!

I'll do someone ;)

I want 2 or more of my female characters drawn either winter holiday themed or some sort of themed outfit, doesn't matter what.

Hell, I'll tag along on this.

I'd love to see someone draw the cast (or part of the cast) of my webcomic, Happy Landfill, celebrating Christmas.

Cool. I'll participate.

I'd do DWC, too.

And I'd like to recieve a pic of a boy and a girl sitting in a dim bar, the girl attentively listening to the boy's stories, showing some sort of affection.

Yay!! Secret Santa stuffs! I wonder who I get to draw piccies for… oooh…..

Yes, they can be posted in your comics once they've been shown in the presentation thread.

Oooh I remember this! I think I'll join in again this year!

I would like a nice gentle picture of a woodland in christmas, complete with animals. Also I would also like a santa with a machine gun shooting the animals. Not sadistic at all…


EDIT: If it's not too late, is it OK to change mine? I think that a nicer one would be a painting of anything. Nothing fancy, just upload a photo of the finished thing.
