I've had to restart mine.  i was working on a big piece and i dont have time to finish before xmas.  I've started a smaller more aesthetically pleasing one.

a monthly ban isnt much of a punishment for half the people in that list - i dont recognise a lot of them.  its just gonna leave a lot of people feeling sad.
perhaps next year have only active members - done by time registered or number of posts?

To whom i'm making one for, It'll be a smaller one, however it will be sort of an IOU.

Because i really want to Make something nice for someone, but i'm still learning, and I promise that i WILL make a better image than the one that will be given.

You have my word.

Just for the sake of keeping the whole thing more of a surprise, I edited your post. (though I might have been late)
And hey, most of the time when you make presents, you don't go asking "What do you want?", so use your head and try to come up with something (or talk to someone over msn or PMs or whatever).

I just want to give a heads up that my monitor has been acting up for the past couple of days... colours flashing and changing, etc... and I get a bad feeling it may conk out very soon. If that's the case, I apologize in advance to my secret santa receiver. I'm still about 50% done and I can't send what I have just yet. Let us pray to the pixel gods that my monitor doesn't die or it will suffer a fist through the screen or some rampaging like that crazy german kid trying to play Unreal Tournament (check youtube if you haven't seen it)

That is why those who don't come up with a present will be banned. Though I was wishing I didn't have to at all at the end.
I just didn't want to have anyone without a present. (And the thing is that I mentioned that you should only sign up if you could bring a present).
I don't know if it is that hard to get. It's not just a punishment for not having a present, but also not being responsible and not thinking about your pair.


List updated.

Remember, you have the whole 23rd to PM me your presents.

Well, you might as well ban me from now for there is no way I can possibly finish this thing on time. I got caught up in trying too many things at once(I was trying to employ a monet type usage of color in a 256x256 pixel space, plus I had a hard time trying to come up with something matching the giftee's requirements) .In any case I can still submit the WIP. I'll PM the completed work to the giftee following my January ban (heh, a smiley in prison stripes would be most appropriate about now).

Well at first it was going to be the 23rd at midnight GMT, but I'll give you guys a couple of hours and put it up to the 24th at noon (that being 12pm GMT)
Remember it is on GMT time, do your maths to find out when on your time zone that would be.
Anyone that doesn't come up with something by that time, will definitely be banned.


Edit: And list updated.

I don't like it when deadlines are extended after I've already submitted, because that means that I could have spent more time on my gift.  As it is, I think I could have spent more time, but I didn't really have time enough to spend.  That's why I feel guilty when I hear that people like snake have spent "universes" of time.  Oh well, I guess I worry too much.

Dunded! I wish I'd managed a better background on mine but I suck at stuff where I have to pull inspiration out of my arse, but I'm very happy with how the main characters turn out and think the recipient will like it given their love of the subject matter. :)

EDIT: Redid my background and I'm a lot more happy with it as it's nice and festive now. Absolutely PISSED away colours on it, mind.

Feel free to work on yours for longer if you want. Just send me a link to it before the deadline is over.
And instead of comparing yourself to other people, compare yourself to yourself. I think it's not about racing nor beating each other, but self improvement.

Btw, list updated again.


Edit:
ABOUT 16 HOURS LEFT!
So hurry up if you didn't send me your present yet.

will the work be displayed? as a christmas collection.

Oh geeze, I've had a HECTIC week, way more than I imagined! Picking at this WIP whenever I can, now I'm going to sit down and get this finished and send it in ASAP, I really hope this isn't too late, I don't want to let my partner down... Even if it ends up late I'll find a way to send it, it would be really unfair to not give one out  :-[

While we're waiting, I'll admit I was one of those slackers who left it to the last minute. I made a couple tries to do it throughout the week but I didn't get hit with inspiration until yesterday. I'm a last minute kind of person, although that's been fucking me up at school lately, so I'm making it my new years resolution to become a last-hour or last-day  or if possible a last-week person. Fortunately I'm not busy these last days so I had all the time I needed to tweak and stuff.

I really like how mine came out. I made an animation and have been staring at it most of the day. I didn't try to challenge myself on the animation side of it too much, but I like how some parts came out and feel I've improved a lot since I last animated something. I like my idea and might even make a similar thing if I participate next year, but choose a different subject to animate.
