Nex-ight before Christmas, 2007!

Post by JKatkina »

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the tubes,
Gobs of users were surfing, from oldies to noobs.
But in one tiny corner of the great interwebs,
All the members were off with their families and friends.

But one lady sat typing homage to tradition,
Cool and quiet, holiday's intermission,
"If I had a new template," she said to herself,
"I'd get sneaky tonight and give them all out."

But giveaways sat waiting on the Giveaways board,
From generous women (or maybe just bored),
And presents were waiting away from the 'puters,
(Well unless they'd been opened by holiday looters).

Out in the snow Santa Dragon was checking,
All the bases were covered this year, so he reckoned
But the season is not quite complete without meddlin'
From a fat old red dragon (or this author, but no tellin'),

So the metaphorical roof was reindeer-trodden upon,
Through the metaphor-chimney dropped a ton
Of eggs, now given, twice gifted again,
Patience rewarded in two weeks would be seen.

The first challenge was laid: to add in some color,
Christmas or not, one's as good as the other,
Then upload the orb and post it up here,
Before midnight on the thirty-first draws near.


But there were presents to wrap now, a shower to take,
Many dreams to be had 'fore t'was time to wake,
So to bed with you all, and bed for me too,
Make your Christmases merry and fuzzy all through.

*just laughs* You wouldn't believe how much fun it was to color that egg.

(Accidentally deleted the shadow layer. Kat's looked better than mine. Ick.)

Somehow I wanted to make a gaudy egg. And then i suddenly found something that looked pretty and it turned out plain and simple. I love it though ^^

The idea popped into my head while at work; I've been 'playing' with circuitry anyway, but now I've done something with it. <3

Love the starry night... and the tiger striping... couldn't decide on which one to do.

Xalia... working on the furry dragons.... haven't drawn dragons in so long that it's interesting.

Happy holidays everyone,

I'm working on coming back. I got inspired to start sketching today, and start working on the story I'd started dreaming up when you and I had first chatted. The story is coming along better than the dragon, but then, the dragons I did before were fun, but struggles for me.

How was your holiday? (What is Wibs?)

Hope It's okay that i kind of altered the surface of it (as opposed to just colouring). I can make a different one if it's a problem. I just thought it would be funny to make it gross.
Fun!

Well, I have no idea what to expect out of this, but here is my egg. There are two versions but the second was just an experiment that seemed to fail. It looks okay, but it's not how I had imagined it. *glares at it* It's on the bottom, if you're wondering. [Yes, Sil's egg inspired it but her's is better...mine looks dumb...:P]

BTW, it's a symbolic egg in truth...it's sunset colored and I started making mist but found the overlay looked better. The sparkles are Philippe's idea...*smacks elf on head*

So, playing around with both my new tablet and Photoshop, neither of which I'm any good at yet (I'm actually hand writing this, oh the novelty!) I've come to the conclusion that I'm not good at either... yet ^_^ I have to train the poor compy after all!

In any case, this was just are playing around w/ Photoshop... mm... filters and layer effects... =P

So, uh. Can I bribe somebody to color an egg for me? Because I can't do CG, and I have no printer/scanner right now because my room is in pieces >.>
