As you may know (or not know) with the help of some Users we created 3 different Christmas Calendars in the last 4 years...
I would like to do it again.

But: I can't draw so I need YOU!

I need someone to draw an Christmas-Calendar.
There are the following rules

  • All used stuff need to be free to use (don't use stuff that might give me problems). For example: don't use the Disney Font or Images (part of Images) where you are not 100% sure, that you are allowed to use it. (Of course you can draw characters and stuff).
  • I need the picture digital. Best would be a png-File between 1600x900 and 1920x1080. It will not be printed so it should just look good at a normal HD resolution.
  • The aspect ratio does not matter. It should be possible to watch the Calendar without scrolling on a normal (HD) screen.~~
  • There should be 24 doors. Doors should have the (exact!) same size (it would be okay if door 24 will be bigger) (I'll later add an Animation that will open the door)
  • The Calendar should be "safe for work" and stay in the theme "christmas" and "games"

Why should you do it?

  • The winner will not only be named in the calendar and collect tons of bluehearts, you will also get one game from your wishlist up to 60€ (you decide what game you get).
  • All submissions will be used in some way and everyone who tries will be able to join some exclusive GAs when the event ends.

How can I win?

  • Add me on Steam and send me your picture till November 10th.
  • Win the Vote from November 11 till November 17.

This is the calendar from last year: https://steamgiftscalendar.lima-city.de/

Note:
The picture will still be yours and you keep all the rights on this picture.
You allow me to use the picture in this event.
I will not use the picture to gain any money in any(!) way, there will be no adds or anything on the picture or on the page the calendar is used on.
You will be named as the creator of the image.
The image will only be used on the calendar.
You can ask to remove the picture anytime you want.

Who drew last year's image? It was really nicely done with the pixel aesthetic.

I'm not exactly good at drawing but the temptation of making a summer christmas themed calendar is strong, I was actually happy that one time valve decided to give some representation to the southern hemisphere with their holidays sale.

So, I had an idea back when I wrote the original reply and even tried doing a little sketch of it to follow. The thing is that then I procrastinated the whole month and when I came back to it a couple of days ago I didn't knew how to continue and what started as a pixel art attempt at an upside down forest went into a bit of a tangent, a few times, and it's now a low poly island of sorts? Yeah, not sure where this is going but it's not gonna be christmas themed so I'm officially dropping from the competition :P

What it looks like so far:

I can't draw to save my life, so I'll sit this one out. Good luck to those who do participate, though! Also, bump.

Bookmarked and I'll put it on my calendar. I've never drawn anything so this is a great way to flex my brain muscles to do something different. I just got done writing a terrible 2-page video game short story for another event (^^).

Damn, I didn't noticed how fast the time passed, I should take it easier with FH4 from free month of XBox Pass, and draw (I hope I'll be able to finish it, too many ideeas XD ).

I wish I had some sort of artistic ability, there were some AMAZING submissions last year. Can't wait to see what people come up with the year!

This sounds like fun. I wasn't here for last year's one. Will probably come up with something for it.

I hope I will have time to try drawing something. I'm not good at that, but I think it would be funny, and relaxing. :D
Also, I remember a guy with a real gift in this, he (she?) might be interested :P

Thanks bud, it's a he.
Will, maybe, do a post later where people can give me "winter styled" submissions, which I will then draw in paint.
Also, it's great to see that you didnt forget my "art", even tho I made them 7 months ago.
Again, thank you.

I wish I could try but I never really graduated the Potato Drawing stage of art so, although a potato-themed Advent Calendar would be perfect for SG, I will let better artists give it their best instead. I will participate in the even though.

Good luck SG artists

I see a choir of 24 computer game characters, their mouths are the doors.
One by one their bottom jaws drop to open the mouth and reveal a "door" :P
If only I could draw that well :P

glad, very glad you're still doing it. frankly, that up to 60 bucks sounds kinda tempting, here... :pig nose:
anyway...
hoping to see submissions from the various huge hands we've seen here around. also chuckled at that S03E01. so, voting phase would be E02... and then we'll have the very special xmas final episode, right? ...aaand what about a pilot? :bigger pig nose:

thanks a ton, Machines. much appreciated!

Really hoping to have some time to throw a hat in the ring, but not at all certain if that'll happen.

Can I get a clarification though -- should it all be a single flat image, or should we provide a second image just for door backgrounds and/or The-Thing-You-Find-Inside for when a door is opened?

A single flat image would be enough.
Last year I "created" the images in the door and the year before jbondguy007 helped me.

But if someone want to create something inside the door I would not say no. :)
