Lol bit contrastic name, Dutch Sunshine. Rare in Holland :P
Anyway looks nice. Is it a screenshot you filtered? Composition is nice, the gingerbread men draw the attention to them, looks good.


More progress from me:



Minami yet to be finished.

Sorry but I do not live in Holland but in another province , I based it off a screenshot indeed, altough it's some more work than a mere filter..

Btw, your drawings look pretty funny, I wish I could draw like that :\

That's actually pretty cool. Did you also make the Traveler? Because that would rock even more!

Nah, no Traveller. I didn't even get around to making a polar bear like I wanted to. My daughter had tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy on the 23rd so that was pretty much my cut-off for getting anything major done in my house. She is finally feeling a bit better (yay!) so maybe I can get chores done and some decent pictures taken for my entry.

@Dutch: Nice balance in this piece. The effect almost reminds me of stained glass.

Dutch:

I'd suggest moving either Dwayna slightly to the left or Grenth slightly left. Right now Dwayna looks slightly pushed off to the side and Grenth is dominant.

I feel if they both stood roughly the same distance from the centre it would balance the piece more.

@ Tommy: Nice, cute work.

@Dutch Sunshine: Great job so far. I have to agree with Chyminy and say that your most recent update reminds me of stained glass, I like the effect and the style. It certainly has a lot of Wintersday spirit about it!

@ Kiya: Wonderful as always, definitely the best stuffed Yakington I've ever seen . I simply cannot wait to see your finished product!

I'll go try and see what I can do, I kind of merged dwayna and grenth so it's gonna be though :\

Also, is that stained glass thing a good thing??

EDIT: to prevent double post.. I really tried to move grenth but it's next to impossible without screwing up the balance.. I did make this though:

Kiya, I loooove the Prof soo sweet *hugs*
Sunshine, I really like the last version, very nice colours! I just don't know whether or not I like the font, perhaps something more pop-art would work better? I dunno..

Finished colouring Araiia's sin and "Rudolf" Combined digital painting on the reindeer with (I guess the name would be) cel shading on araiia. Looks a bit messed up but funny imo.


And Morag, your avatar is hot! Is it Lavah's? Wanne see the rest too :O
