ALL holidays? ALL holidays?
Did you have to make it so open? That covers everything from the Day of the Dead to World Television Day to the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. And I haven't even gotten half way through december's callendar yet!
Now you're going to make me choose between them! Guh!
Edit; can't forget Ninja Day!

where's the fun in that? besides, i don't think there'd be a safe point anywhere on the base to wear one.

You could hunt down last year's Christmas contest for ideas and inspiration. Of course if i remember correctly, there were only like three entries.

Dude, that's an awesome idea! I wasn't going to enter this contest because I'll be strapped for art time this month, but that idea inspires a lot of great visuals that I'd like to try out! Thanks!

Hey, way to inadvertently blow my entry.
Thing is though, you recommended it to Eric.
Oh well. Sketch scrapped. New idea pending.

Where are the entries?
Here's the centerpiece of my entry: A Salvation Army Santa Claw!
The rest of the pic is still in the layout stage, but the claw is finished.

I did mine, mostly, then had to ask if it was okay to enter due to being focused on a line which might not be called 'LRG' by some due to the figures having bases and the like. But Reccoom said it was okay! So now I have to finish it! Not much to go now...

Made it just in time for Christmas!
I know this entry has nothing to do with Little Rubber Guys, but in my defense, the rules say nothing about requiring MUSCLEs or BBs. So I branched out a bit with the subject matter.

I agree, awesome work once again Nathan. I like the credits at the bottom too, nice touch.
Just a question, what type of program is used? Or is that a secret. I've seen other previous art entries use some sort of digital imaging before as well and just wondered how you would go about creating something like this, thanks!

That's awesome Tortle, excellent work as always!
And the "Scumdogg Records" bit is a nice touch, if i do say so myself.
On a related note, man...i really have to get something done for this one.

Thanks guys!
I use Photoshop to color the image. So, I first draw it and ink it on paper, then scan it in and paint it with Photoshop.

Wow, this just might be my latest entry yet! I place the blame firmly on my wife's vacation. Which pretty much means I'M on vacation. You know how it goes.
But in all fairness, she did come up with the idea for this entry, so it all evens out!
Enjoy!
