Santa's um... little helpers?

Postby Equid Phantasm » Tue Jan 03, 2012 2:50 am

:D :D :D Well then; so that's how Santa does it! :D :D :D

Now we all know how Santa gets everyone their gifts in one night. He has enlisted magical Chicken Smoothie butterfly wolves since 2008 to help him deliver all the toys to all good girls and boys. Oh, and of course the lumps of coal to the ones who've been naughty.

Santa of course loads them up from his magical never ending bag of presents and they fly to each housetop and deliver them. Chocolate peppermint bw is on the running board, stained glass bw is hovering ready to go and in the background you'll find snowy tree bw and another chocolate peppermint bw waiting and circling.

I used no references for the sky, the sleigh, the running board, the presents, the Santa hats, the harnesses, the cloudy night sky or the clouds being swirled behind the sleigh. I used my own imagination as to how they might look. I did use references listed below for the butterfly wolves.

Constructive, helpful criticism welcomed. However, if I see any post at all from the one person who knows who they are, they will be reported.

A big thank you to all the fantastic people on Chicken Smoothie. An even bigger thank you to the staff and Nick and Tess.

I love this site.

Sorry this is posted so late. There was so much for me to do, I didn't get it finished up in time for Christmas.

Why thank you. I am glad you like it. The time is way way off though, I left dial up online a few times during this creation. I just noticed what the timer said. LOL

Well first, timer's off, it's wrong, I just stated that in my last post. It has to do with being on dial-up and not wanting to close the program. However it still took over 12 to 14 hours and being unemployed had a great deal to do with "finding so much time." LOL

First time unemployed for more than 2 weeks, it's hard to find stuff to do.

Thank you for enjoying my art, I had fund making the bws look like their real counterparts. :D
