Heyo folks!
I used to do this on another forum I frequented, and thought it might be fun to do this here.
Hehe, there might even be some folks from that forum here, so they might recognize this.
;)

NOTE: Some members have reported that they are unable to see the new chibis as they are revealed.
If this is happening to you, I recommend refreshing / hard refreshing your browser window and/or clearing your browser's cache and then reviewing this post.

What is it?
From December 1st to December 24th, this post will be updated once a day and a new Lea Chibi will be revealed! HUZZAH!

- - - - - - - - - - -

What's a Lea Chibi?
Well, this is a Dare Chibi. Do the math.
http://dare2doubt.homestead.com/lea-advent/Dare.png
duh.

- - - - - - - - - - -

When are they being posted?
It's a surprise! No seriously, there is no set schedule. They can be posted at ANY time, so keep checkin' back.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Who gets a Chibi?
For the most part, it's randomized.
Basically, I threw a bunch of Lea names into a hat, dumped the hat contents onto the floor, and then whichever pieces of paper my cat tried to eat first are the "winners".
In order to make things easier on myself, I also limited myself to people who've been active within the past year and/or who had easily identifiable characters/avatars.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Waaaah, I didn't get one!
Eh, sorry! Ya see, there are only 24 days 'til Christmas, and thus I could only choose 24 names.
:hehe:
HOWEVER, it's entirely possible that I might do this again next year
(though, since this is primarily not an RP forum, the character pool is a little shallow)
...or, you could PM me and if/when I have free time, perhaps I'll surprise you.
:)

- - - - - - - - - - -

Why are you doing this?
Tis the season!





That's 'bout it. Enjoy!
It will be entertaining to see if folks can guess which chibi belongs to which forum member.
:evilgrin:

Sharifu
December 1st, 2014, 02:21 AM
Very cool Dare. Everyday will be a surprise. ;)

Kirauni
December 1st, 2014, 10:03 AM
Yes, great idea! Thanks for doing this. Now I'm curious, too. ;)

cleargreenwater
December 1st, 2014, 12:20 PM
Aww, what a nice way to drag people out of the woodwork to check the forum :D

KanuTGL
December 1st, 2014, 05:01 PM
Ooh! That is such a great idea. I look forward to the reveals :D

Guntur
December 1st, 2014, 06:21 PM
This is a very cool concept and a good gift.

and I hope I could hit a jackpot on this one. :cheese: :D

Dare
December 1st, 2014, 10:28 PM
This should be entertaining - you wouldn't believe the amount of art archive stalking research involved.
Hopefully I managed to produce a reasonable likeness of folks' characters, but if anything is off I can always fix 'em.
:)

Also, I forgot to mention - I won't necessarily be keeping to a set daily schedule and/or bumping the thread when I've updated the initial posts...so you'll have to remember to check back. Bwahaha!

I am carrying a flash drive around that has all the chibis on it though, so hopefully I'll be able to update on the go.
Hopefully I won't mix the chibis up with my work files, or the Bossman will be in a puzzlement.
...which, come to think of it, would be kinda amusing.
:evilgrin:

I can live with that, especially checking this thread like once a day. ;)

December 2nd, 2014, 12:11 AM
Ooh this is a pretty cool idea ^^ wait... is that first chibi... Coatl? :curious:
Wow, now I didn't see that coming! xD what a nice surprise, thanks Dare, and good job with the markings ^^
I look forward to see the rest of them :D

Sharifu
December 3rd, 2014, 08:12 AM
Aww, the newest one is Razzle. (Azerane's character) They are so cute. :p

King Simba
December 3rd, 2014, 08:20 AM
Aww, they're all so cute. :) Looking forward to seeing all these characters when they've been revealed. :D

ThiagoPE
December 4th, 2014, 04:58 AM
Seems a great idea, I will check here everyday.

Konga
December 5th, 2014, 03:44 AM
*squeals* Look at that precious little Kanu chibi!! :emo::aww:
Anna, I...want you in plushie form..
Konga creeper status just elevated a bit. #noshame :rawr:

Leorgathar
December 5th, 2014, 05:22 AM
Hmm, I still only see the first two (Coatl and Razzle). Is it just me? :confused:

Dare
December 5th, 2014, 05:31 AM

I had the same problem earlier. I did a hard refresh and cleared my browser's cache - worked like a charm. ^__^

Sadiki
December 5th, 2014, 05:43 AM
I been checking pretty much every day as well just haven't said anything before.

Cool idea Dare, gives everyone something to look forward to every day. It's cool to see people on the board are still doing stuff and all.

And as little as I check Lea in past year I still think I know every one who has gotten their character chibified. ;) Keep up the good work Dare! :hugs:

Leorgathar
December 5th, 2014, 06:12 AM
Oh good, I see them now, thanks Dare! :D
They're all so cute, and I love how you get every little detail right in all of them ^^

King Simba
December 5th, 2014, 07:33 AM
Ah, I wondered why I didn't see past 2nd December. They all look great, Dare! And thanks for doing Katai for me. ;)

Safila
December 5th, 2014, 10:23 AM
gah. I can't see anything but the first 2 :(

King Simba
December 5th, 2014, 10:40 AM
Refresh the page, Safila. ;) It should work then.

Dare
December 5th, 2014, 01:28 PM
Aha, and now Homestead is having server issues so no one can see 'em.
Hopefully the chibis will be back soon. ^__^

In the meantime, I should note - I'm only allowed to post 15 pics per post (including emoticons), so I'll be unable to post all 24 individual chibis.
I work around this and keep the display design, when I start a new row, the previous row will be condensed into 1 image.
If, for some reason, you didn't get to save an individual chibi before this happens, shoot me a PM and I can give you the link to download the individual chibi. ^__^

KanuTGL
December 5th, 2014, 02:16 PM
Oh, yay! Now they're working again!

Fweee, a Kanu chibi! <3 She looks so cute (as do all the others too of course)! Thank you so much, Dare! =D

Leorgathar
December 5th, 2014, 03:27 PM
Took me a bit to realize it, but the fifth one must be Nit. Very nice :cs_smile_2:

Sadiki
December 5th, 2014, 06:58 PM
I just realized there is 30 characters in the first post, instead of 24! ;)

Also, Dare, if you like I can up the allowed images per post temporarily to 35, that way you don't have to work around it and everyone has plenty of time to save their Chibi's.

Dare
December 5th, 2014, 07:23 PM
I just realized there is 30 characters in the first post, instead of 24! ;)

Doh!
:scarconfused:
I must have mixed up a couple of my files when I was trying to be sneaky whilst editing the first post.
My horrible math skills have nothing to do with it. NOTHING I SAY! :P



Also, Dare, if you like I can up the allowed images per post temporarily to 35, that way you don't have to work around it and everyone has plenty of time to save their Chibi's.

OMG, yes please! That would make things soooo much easier.
:D

Sadiki
December 6th, 2014, 06:26 AM
Ok, I increased the allowed images per post to 40 for now.

Nit
December 7th, 2014, 01:23 PM
D'aaaw! That's a really cool idea.
It's nice to see my character on here. x3

nathalie
December 7th, 2014, 03:21 PM
Wait, that's me right, the new one? :D

Kirauni
December 7th, 2014, 08:21 PM
I think the grey one must be s-tlk, right! Awesome! He looks do handsome :D

nathalie
December 7th, 2014, 08:32 PM
That's the new one for me tonight, I was talking about nr 5th, the brown lioness ^^

Kossu
December 7th, 2014, 11:51 PM
Aww,this is such a nice initiative.I'm impressed by the detail you've put into them,they look lovely Dare!:wow:

Sharifu
December 8th, 2014, 09:40 PM
Aww, I love how you added ClearGreenWater's character. That's so cool how you added a hyena character to the bunch, I like that you didn't limit this to just big cats.

cleargreenwater
December 9th, 2014, 12:50 PM
EEEEeeee, yay! You did it! :D I was so hoping but I didn't know if you'd go for my token lion instead :D SO awesome, and between the customizing and the spots it couldn't've been an easy one, thank you so much!

Sharifu
December 9th, 2014, 07:16 PM
I have no idea who that red lioness is... Hmm... :thinks:

Guntur
December 9th, 2014, 07:27 PM
I hope Dare remember that I have a character in Lea. ;)

Leorgathar
December 9th, 2014, 08:29 PM
I have no idea who that red lioness is... Hmm... :thinks:

That's Nirani, Kossu's character :)

Sharifu
December 9th, 2014, 09:55 PM
Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me. ;)

Kirauni
December 10th, 2014, 09:13 PM
Great work on adding CGW indeed! The newest one is Sadiki if I'm not mistaken.

Sharifu
December 11th, 2014, 04:16 AM
The newest one is not Sadiki. Although I don't know who that is.

Leorgathar
December 11th, 2014, 05:35 AM
Hmm I may be mistaken, but that looks like my lion self, Kareem (http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd351/Leorgathar/Kareem_zpsc47ed725.png). If so, that would mean I have two chibis in there xD

Dare
December 11th, 2014, 05:48 AM
I will say this - in this calendar, there's only 1 chibi per forum member.
;)

The mystery of #10 continues, BWAHAHAHAHA!
:wicked:

Kirauni
December 11th, 2014, 07:26 AM
Okay, if our mysterious no. 10 isn't Sadiki, I don't have a clue XD

But no. 11 must be Guntur. You also added the little scar on his nose!

Utora
December 11th, 2014, 08:03 AM
I think #10 is lionobsession's "Chimalsi"

:cheese:

I love checking this thread daily, so cool!!

Guntur
December 11th, 2014, 01:54 PM
Thank you Dare :timonhug::pumbaahug::wow: I love it every single bit on my character.

Everyone looks really good in this one. :D :cheese: Love it every single bit.

King Simba
December 12th, 2014, 08:57 AM
The newest one is Revo, right? :D

s-tlk
December 14th, 2014, 06:48 PM
Wow they all look really great and are suited very much for such a calender. No surprise here, but I especially like the small gray lion. Thank you very much, Dare. :-)
And thanks to Kirauni for pointing my gray nose on this thread. ^^

KanuTGL
December 15th, 2014, 08:44 PM
Aww, the new one is for Kasei, right? :D An elephant! That's super cool!

cleargreenwater
December 16th, 2014, 12:41 PM
Whoa, elephant. o_o

Sharifu
December 16th, 2014, 10:22 PM
Thanks for including me and Sadiki! They're so cute! Love Kasei's elephant too! :D

Kirauni
December 16th, 2014, 11:12 PM
Ah, now there is Sadiki :)
And I love your Kasei, too! Awesome job! I love the details.

Dare
December 17th, 2014, 05:37 PM
Glad everyone is enjoying them thus far ^__^
For the most part, everyone's correct on who's who, and I'll be sure to post a character key when the calendar is complete.

s-tlk
December 18th, 2014, 08:07 PM
Oh, the newest one (18th) seems to be Kirauni.
No I can return the favor. ;-)

Thank you very much, Dare for showing so much endurance in keeping up the good work. :-)

Kirauni
December 18th, 2014, 11:03 PM
I don't know why I haven't noticed it earlier. My best guess is that I've checked this thread in the morning and then forgot to look again. Thanks indeed, s-tlk for pointing this out. And thank you very much Dare for this lovely Chibi-Kirauni! And you've added the-one-ring-to-fool... uh I mean to-rule-them-all XD Thanks!
Chibi-Kirauni truely looks cute and adorable. ^^

Well the 18th of December really has been my day afterall. First the Secret Santa gift and now this lovely picture. Too bad this day is over here now. Oh well, it's good to have a lucky day for a change every now and then, right?

Now I'm curious who'll be next :)

Lweek
December 19th, 2014, 11:55 PM
Whoa, I'm speechless. Thank you so much!! :cs_surprise_1: I hardly can explain how much It means to me. Thank you! :hugs:

Konga
December 20th, 2014, 03:08 AM
^ Lweek is so adorable! Just look at that little camera! :aww: You're so detailed with these, Dare. I envy your beautious talent! Keep being pawsome! =D

Azerane
December 20th, 2014, 08:50 AM
Oh wow, how cute are these things! What an awesome idea, Dare, and thank you so much for the chibi Razzle, sorry I haven't been around before now to say thanks :)

lionobsession
December 20th, 2014, 07:22 PM
Wow! My internet has been down for ages (urgh... so annoying) and therefore haven't been on for a while.
I love Chimalsi especially as well as all the others!

Utora
December 21st, 2014, 08:44 AM
Looking great! :cheese:


Lweek is awesome.....

..and then I realized..4 days until Christmas!

Lweek
December 22nd, 2014, 09:18 PM
Despite fact I've recognised most of them, will you release nick list with last chibi please? :cheese:

Kirauni
December 22nd, 2014, 09:22 PM
Glad everyone is enjoying them thus far ^__^ For the most part, everyone's correct on who's who, and I'll be sure to post a character key when the calendar is complete.

Yes, a character key would be great!
Only two more to go!

Vidan
December 23rd, 2014, 08:32 AM
It's a Vidan! Thanks for that, and for all your hard work with these. It must have taken awhile to research the specifics of everyone's characters, and get these together. It's definitely appreciated.

Dare
December 24th, 2014, 04:23 PM
Phew! Well, it's the last day folks!

As promised, I've added a Member/Character key to the first post so hopefully any current mysteries will be solved. ;D
Hopefully I got most of the details correct - despite the amount of stalking research I did, some ref pics were hard to find and/or contradicted themselves. If anything is incorrect, I'd be happy to fix it...once I've caught my breath a bit.

'Tis been a pleasure, ya'll!
Hope you enjoyed 'em and maybe, hopefully, I'll be able to do this again next year. ^__^

Wishin' everyone a happy holiday and good vibes!
Now, if you'll excuse me, my living room looks like a cete of drunk badgers got into the wrapping paper supplies.
Toodles!

:)

KanuTGL
December 24th, 2014, 05:20 PM
Alright, it's finished! :D You've really done such a great job with this little project, Dare. It's been my favourite advent calendar to follow this year for sure! :zazurockon:

Leorgathar
December 24th, 2014, 08:43 PM
WooHoo! Finished at last! :D I'm so happy with the final result, you really did a great job with all the characters, Dare ^^
Merry Christmas! :D

Guntur
December 24th, 2014, 08:56 PM
Merry Christmas all, The result is amazing. I'm glad you taking your time making this for the community of Lea. :emo::cheese::timonrockon1::timonhug2:

King Simba
December 24th, 2014, 09:38 PM
You finished it! :D Great work, Dare. And the character key does help. There were quite a few characters that I couldn't quite put names to, so it's good to know who's who. ;) Merry Christmas to you! :)

Safila
December 24th, 2014, 11:02 PM
aww you did mine *huggles* thank you .

Azerane
December 24th, 2014, 11:20 PM

Kossu
December 25th, 2014, 09:34 AM
Aww all the cute chibis!Thank you so much for this cool calendar Dare,I really enjoyed following it.And thank you so much for including Nirani too!:)

Have a very happy Christmas holiday!:lalala:

Sadiki

Great to see how well you followed through even in hectic season like Christmas. * Sends 5 Simba symbols Dare's way * you earned'em!

Oh and Merry Christmas!

I feel kinda flattered that Sheek is in the calendar ^^' This was an awesome idea and very nicely done ^^ *saves*

I gotta set mine as my avatar! :D
