Wheee! This will be so fun :cheese:
Yay! :D And perfect timing too since when the weather's bad, all I can find myself wanting to do is stay indoors and draw. :p
Can't wait to get started!!!
Woot!! :D this will be good :ooo:
this sounds pretty fun, would be a perfect opportunity to draw lions again.
It's too late to get in? :blah:
I'm afraid it is late, unfortunately, since the names have already been drawn. But feel free to share your art in the main Fanart thread, or maybe you could try the Sketch-a Character-Thread as well :)
Just a heads-up, pics are due next week (in case you live in a cave and aren't aware that it's almost Christmas) :p
It says in the rules that you can post from 20th of December. Should I post now even though it may not be 20th in other parts of the world?
Sure thing, I would go for it :)I know that Christmas can get busy with family visits etc which I why I made the upload date from the 20th in case people were away or unable to get online over Christmas itself.
Okay! Then I shall begin this years Secret Santa present giving!
I had Leorgathar and I chose to draw Coatl!

I tried to go for a realistic style and background, so that's why there are leaf shadows on his back.
I hope you like it!
Merry Christmas to you and to all!
Whoa! Thank you SO much, lionobsession! :D he looks pretty cool in that style, and the leaf shadows on him was a nice touch ^^ Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to you too :)
I have yet to finish mine, but I'm pretty sure I'll have it ready on time ^^
That looks awesome! The shadow effect is amazing! :cheese:
Ok, me next :D I'm actually surprised that I finished on time, given that I started late, and then had troubles with my hand since it's been so long since I've done any art. As a side note of personal frustration, I sketched the character before looking at the references again, then after looking at the refs realised that the pose in one was almost identical, but I loved the sketch so much that I couldn't bring myself to not use it, so I apologise in advance that it's a little similar.
Without further rambling, I got Kanu and decided to draw her German Shepherd character, Girl. Much fun :) First traditional piece I've done in a very long time too. I'm frustrated that the scan brings out no detail in the whites (because yes I did shade those too) but what can you do. Merry Christmas and I hope you like it :hugs:

Wow,beautiful picture LO!I like the mystic feeling of the jungle that the whole picture has.Also,amazing job on Kanu's character,Azerane!It does seem indeed that the scan deprives the picture of the vibrance and detail that it should have in real life...It hapens to me too and even when I try to adjust the picture it ends up looking even worse >_<
Soooo...my Secret Santa was King Simba.It was very hard to decide which one to draw,because I find all the designs really pretty,especially Namabi and Jaini,so I drew three of them(Namabi,Jaini and Katai).:P
Attachment 522
It was lots of fun to draw,I hope you can like it!A very merry Christmas to you and to everyone else as well!:D
Wow, thanks Kossu! All three of my favourite characters together. :D They all look so great. I like the use of colours you used too. Thank you very much and have a very Merry Christmas! :)
I had... *drum roll* Azerane! I decided to draw Razzle and Bandit in the end. Hope you like it, and Merry Christmas to you. :)

Not sure if I like how this one turned out. I was going through a bit of an art block... :headache:
Whoa! Everyone's drawings are amazing! I really like how this Secret Santa is shaping up ^^ I'll comment on each and every drawing on DeviantArt or TLKFAA ;)
Aw for my drawing... ugh, I don't have good news, I'm afraid. I'm almost done with it, I only have to shade it and it'll be ready, I was going to do that today actually, but I turned my laptop on this morning and now the screen doesn't work :ohno: I think it has a bad contact somewhere, but I couldn't fix it. I haven't uploaded the drawing file anywhere else, and I can't have it fixed these days because businesses will be closed for holidays ><
I don't like being late in a Secret Santa, but if I don't get it fixed soon that will have to be the case :( I'm sorry in advance. I'll work on it as soon as I have my laptop working again
That's awesome KS, Bandit is so cute :D I just love it! Thank you :)
Kossu, amazing pic, all the characters look great.
I don't believe you Leor :p Don't fret though, I don't think any of us are going to hate you because of computer trouble.
Fweeee <3 Girl looks really wonderful, Azzy - thank you so much :hugs: I don't mind that the pose is similar to one of my own drawings of her, hehe, it looks great anyway ^^
Everyone else's drawings are so pretty too! I love checking this thread <3
My drawing is for... Kossu! And I drew your character named... Kossu :p I had a blast working on it and I hope you like it! :) (Apologies if the colours look a little too funky. I'm messing around on an unfamiliar monitor, so if I see that it looks really strange once I switch back to my normal setup I'll fix it for you xD)

Merry Christmas!
Wow Kanu, that drawing of Kossu looks so gorgeous :wow: I like the snow and lighting effects especially. I too love checking this thread, everyone is doing such a great work ^^
Well, I'll leave that to your own interpretation :p But I'm using an iPad at the moment, so there's that :lol:
There's actually a way I could show you the sketch of my drawing at least, but I think that'll wait until tomorrow, since it won't be me uploading it, you'll see what I mean ;)
Woah, that looks really cool Kanu. I love seeing everyone's pics :D So glad you liked the pic of Girl.
I am awed by the wonderful drawing of Kossu.The pose,the background,the snowy details...Thank you SO much Kanu!:hugs:
Kossu is the first lion character I ever created so he's very special to me.Don't worry about the colors,I think that they are very fitting with the snowy environment.It's darker so it only makes sense that his colors look different.I don't think you need to change anything. Have a very very wonderful Christmas and rest holiday!:)
KS,I'm truly happy that you like the drawing.I was worried it might look a little...overcrowded.Nice work with your drawing too.Bandit and Razzle look lovely.:D
I'm amazed by the beautiful drawings that everyone has uploaded this far.I can't wait to see the rest!:wow:
I'm so sorry I am late everyone! (Although it is still the December 26 here, and Azerane said we could turn it in by 26th the latest, but I wanted it done by Christmas...) Anyways, I got lionobsession, and I drew Chimalsi!

I hope you enjoy it! Again I am so sorry I am late. I might draw you a little something extra next week, if I have time, just to make up for the fact you had to wait for it.
Merry Christmas lionobsession!
Everyone's art here has been beautiful so far. I'm impressed! :cheese:
And as you can probably tell now, Leor drew me for this art Secret Santa. I have the original sketch, it was sent in the mail. ;) Would you like me to scan it Leor, and show it to everyone in this thread? I have to say, it's an adorable sketch and I love it. :hugs: I totally understand about having computer problems. When you get your laptop fixed, take your time coloring it. I am patient, it will be worth the wait. :D
Ooh I'm SO glad you recieved the original sketch over there in good time :cs_grin: I'll send my laptop to get repaired tomorrow, I'm not sure how long will it take, but it's ok if you would like to scan the sketch and upload it here, of course ^^ In any case, I'll try to have the whole piece finished very soon ;)
Oh and that's a really sweet drawing of Chimalsi, awesome work :)
Chimalsi looks adorable! Thank you so much Sharifu! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you and everyone has a happy New Year!
Ok, so I just got some news regarding my laptop. It wan't a bad contact as I originally thought, it's the screen itself that's damaged, and they told me it needs to be replaced, which needs to be ordered, and it's way more expensive :(
My intention was to have it repaired these days so I can finish the drawing soon, then I would back up my Hard Drive info and get a new laptop. But now I don't want to spend more money on my current one by replacing the screen, I prefer to just get a new laptop -.-
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I'll see what I can do. In the mean time feel free to post the sketch, Sharifu. At least that one survived :)
Sure thing. I attached your sketch to this post.
I do look forward to seeing the final colored piece, but I understand having problems with laptops, I've had lots of problems with laptops over the years. I'm patient, and I'm sure it will look amazing after you color it. :D
I just want to say: ADORABLE and incredibly CUTE and TALENTED. I always looking forward Art SS. :)
Oh my gosh, I finished it!!
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...44-d8elibx.png
Again, my apologies for taking so absurdly long >< In the end I decided to plug my old laptop to a TV screen and finish it there. It still took me a bit because I'm not used to have people watching me draw, and to get a good degree of privacy to do so is hard here. But at last, I'm done with it.
Despite the shortcomings, I quite enjoyed doing it. I hope you like it ^^
Btw, in the drawing Sharifu is supposed to have landed a snowball directly on Sadiki's face... maybe he had it coming xD but he's preparing to answer it ;)
D'aww, so cute! Thanks Leor! :D
