Check the first page with the Santa icons next to the participants. (I got mine done yesterday.)

Aaah I see it, should have checked there first.

i hope my ss likes mine too

This is it, the moment of truth. I gotta work harder than I ever have on this, and faster than I ever have.... NOTE FOR NEXT YEAR: don't start your present a few days before the deadline!

Conceit · « **Reply #154 on:** December 23, 2009, 08:50:12 pm »

I was going to do an outlandish bigass piece on this one...but I cant get it to look like...anything

I'll do something animation related instead so that I come out with something and hopefully please my Secret Santa, hoping they still like it!

xhunterko · « **Reply #155 on:** December 23, 2009, 09:03:57 pm »

@Ptoing: I sent mine in earlier. If you didn't get it I can resend.

"Mine gave me a ton to work with. I think it's easier if your SS doesn't give you a lot because then you have more room to insert things you personally want to include, or think they'll like. With a big list it's like, okay, they're so specific I need to include what they say to include, and if I don't, they may not like it because this is WHAT THEY WANT."

Actually, giving people a big list is something that I did to make sure people had a good idea of WHO I AM. Not just of WHAT I WANT. The WHO I AM part of a person is more important then WHAT THEY GET. Because, if you don't know anything about said person, and give them something. And then they're like: "Jeeze, this sucks, what the heck where you thinking?" Because, the more you know about a person, the less you'll be worried about WHAT THEY WANT, and the more you'll be able to concentrate on THE BEST YOU CAN DO. That is the important thing. Not per say, to be worried about offending them by what you did/didn't give, but being worried that you did/didn't GIVE YOUR BEST. That's all I got.

Cheers.

Conceit, yeah, my first intentions were to do something large and lovely... but time got away and I got distracted.

Anyways, just finished mine! It's nothing much, but I hope my partner will like it...

Olothontor · « **Reply #159 on:** December 23, 2009, 09:38:15 pm »

Yeah, seriously? How can you NOT be excited, what with all of these absolutely amazing spriters running around in here... I'm falling off of my chair waiting for the gifts to be released.

Argyle · « **Reply #160 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:13:32 pm »

28 santa-less names on that list, cmon guys! Last day!

Conceit · « **Reply #161 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:39:13 pm »

=O I just realized I'm santaless....to my giftmaker...dont worry, I made a lot of subjects but I have no expectations :p I just wanted to give a broad selection of stuff to chose from.

What are we gonna do? you think everyone of the 28 is gonna come trough in what little time is left? =O I'm making something barebones but atleast making sure there's something in it that only I could give this guy....

I'm a slacker, but my gift will be finished tonight!!!!!!! Excelsior!!

eldiabolito · « **Reply #164 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:15:58 am »

work overkill had me to rush it a little :-/
but i think it could've turned out worse...

Overkill · « **Reply #165 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:28:37 am »

If I had more time I definitely would have fixed a few things and added some more detail, but I think what I managed there works.

Dex · « **Reply #166 on:** December 24, 2009, 01:53:06 am »

Ahh, good luck everybody. Still a lot of people who need to turn in their gifts... :X

I might be able to provide for those without, though.

alkaline · « **Reply #167 on:** December 24, 2009, 02:05:40 am »

I still have like 12 hours, right? workin on it!

Larwick · « **Reply #168 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:08:20 am »

Wow, there must be something in the air! What's happened here? Good luck everyone in getting your gifts in on time, ya scalleywags!

Woohoo! Merry Christmas Eve, folks! Let's hope all of your gifts are awesome and jaw-dropping.

skamocore · « **Reply #176 on:** December 24, 2009, 10:51:41 am »

I think it's awesome that the SS deadline is 12am on the 25th my time

P.S. You slacker types have 2ish hours to finish your stuff off

Atnas · « **Reply #177 on:** December 24, 2009, 11:19:48 am »

LIGHTNING PIXELS ASSEMBLE GO

darchangel · « **Reply #180 on:** December 24, 2009, 11:53:25 am »

Holy crap...I started working on mine as soon as I got the PM and was done and sent on Dec 7th....come on guys!!!

Indigo · « **Reply #181 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:37:11 pm »

unfortunately I had to cut down the scope of my image considerably because of a hecktic work schedule. I hope they will forgive me.

Elk · « **Reply #182 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:42:38 pm »

Deadline is over ^^

Atnas · « **Reply #183 on:** December 24, 2009, 12:46:37 pm »

Sent mine in and its kind of messy, but hopefully I can put together something more polished by the time ptoing puts them up!

Apologies to my partner for the mess . o .

EDIT: cleaned up mess and finished!

PTOING IS ONLINE . O .

Lizzrd · « **Reply #184 on:** December 24, 2009, 02:55:58 pm »

Too many forgot to submit this year imo.

Ultimaodin · « **Reply #185 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:13:45 pm »

At least I'm glad actually submitted mine

Though It might just be that ptoing hasn't put little heads near everyone yet.

ptoing · « **Reply #186 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:13:53 pm »

15 people still have not submitted anything.

But since I am nice I gave them another chance by extending the deadline (see news box).
This means that the unwrapping will be sometime tomorrow evening (GMT+1)

I PMed the guilty parties and hope at least some of them will man up and do the right thing.

Oh man, I was looking forwards to the great unveil so bad! I doubt anyone's gonna be seriously pixelling on christmas day, to be honest, but here's hoping the extra few hours will be what the last few need!

ptoing · « **Reply #188 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:25:16 pm »

Well, I hope someone will. As they should. If not then they wont be able to participate next year.

I am also thinking about keeping tabs and if someone does not submit something in 2 secret santas consecutively (well with one year pause) they will be banned from the event for LIFE!

skamocore · « **Reply #189 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:40:35 pm »

It's really disappointing the sheer number of no-shows

Especially some of the really talented guys not submitting anything.

TBH, I don't think the rest of us should be punished because they didn't submit stuff though. The rest of us have been hanging out to see the gifts. I think you could display the gifts that were handed in on time and then add the extra gifts later (if they ever finish them, that is).

Ultimaodin · « **Reply #190 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:04:51 pm »

I personally don't mind waiting, though, thn again I don't actually celebrate Christmas so yeah.

Either way I hope those people get their presents in on time for the people that did put in a lot of effort.

Conceit · « **Reply #191 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:07:20 pm »

ptoing...I've got something that works so far and I'm still working on it....can you santa my santa? =(

Dr D · « **Reply #192 on:** December 24, 2009, 08:55:17 pm »

I've been trying to complete something for the last 3 days, but I'm having major computer problems. My computer literally crashes every 5-30 mins, and it's very frustrating to lose your work multiple times.

I'll be trying, but I really can't guarantee finishing on time. To my partner, I'm sorry, but I'll finish as soon as possible.

ptoing · « **Reply #193 on:** December 24, 2009, 08:58:47 pm »

Try unplugging the internet. Chances are it's a virus/spam thing which uses your computer as a mailserver. I had something like that at work once and it spammed out mails and then crashed. But if it is not plugged to the internet it can't spam around and also did not crash. Worth a try at least.

Dex · « **Reply #194 on:** December 24, 2009, 10:51:40 pm »

sent in an updated version of my secret santa, actually put more effort into it! i really hope they like it!

Lizzrd · « **Reply #195 on:** December 25, 2009, 12:24:52 am »

Oooohh... I wanna see what I got :3

When can I see what I got btw?

Well that just means more presents

ptoing · « **Reply #198 on:** December 25, 2009, 09:49:20 am »

Yay, some more people submitted their stuff and it's about 6 hours to go till deadline. Up to 65 gifts now \o/

The unwrapping will be some time after that because I actually have to do some other work as well.

Lizzrd · « **Reply #199 on:** December 25, 2009, 09:51:14 am »

I was bored. So I counted the missing people. It's 9.
