Description Final edit, I swear: these are now all available individually in my Scraps section.

This is everything, at long last! I sincerely wish I could've done something for everyone I thought of, but I had to force myself to just do the ones I had planned. Otherwise I would in fact have gone absolutely insane. -__- I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or whatever you celebrate this year, and if I didn't get you this time, there's bound to be a next time.

Holiday presents for some of my very special dA friends. These are so, SO small and SO simple... I'm so sorry, I wish I could've done more, but I just ran out of time! I hope they're liked, though. Just wanted you guys to know I'm thinking of you, and I'm so glad to have you all as friends! You've been so good to me this year. *huggles everyone*

temiel In reply to ??? [2011-01-03 12:38:52 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks so much! I was hoping I could, since all throughout school all my teachers told me all my faces looked identical. TAKE THAT, TEACHERS! No, I kid. These headshots were all a ton of fun to do, and plus, I got to look at all these guys' art all over again. I love giving art presents around the holidays... last year I did chibis for as many people as I could manage, and oh man, it was NUTTY, I almost tore my own hair out trying to cram in everyone I wanted to make a present for! I'm kind of sad that I had to pare it down this year, but it helped to preserve my sanity, so I guess I can't be too broken up about it. Thank you again, I'm so glad you like them!

oh goodness, she looks so cute! I love how you drew Alicorn, and of course Iris jumped out at me too! these all look wonderful, thank you so much for including me!

temiel In reply to lizspit [2011-01-01 20:00:49 +0000 UTC]

Aw, of course! I was hoping she came out looking okay, her ears were a TON of fun. If you want a larger one of her alone, she's in my Scraps section.

lizspit In reply to temiel [2011-01-01 20:05:34 +0000 UTC]

oh coolios! thanks! it's funny you mention her ears too, I've been cropping and resizing 'gift art' of my characters this morning and have noticed how the majority of people dont' do their ears right, but you got hers just perfect!

effulgent-smile [2010-12-29 15:37:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. honey! The last two lines are the best ones, and I'm so happy that my Elmira is in there! Thank you so much! You even didn't forget about the Drop of wisdom! This is amazing!
Scioppy told before the Christmas holidays, that there is someone who will do a huge pack of presents and I was sure that this is you! And you know, even if this is a little portraits, they worth a thouthand of faves! Especially because you captured the personality of each OC perfectly!

temiel In reply to effulgent-smile [2010-12-29 22:01:24 +0000 UTC]

Aw, you're very welcome!! She was a total joy to do, but MAN is it hard to find a reference for her, I hope she looks right. And I had to include the Drop, especially after Iglo's totally hilarious drawing of it with the poofy sexy lips.

I'm not sure it was me she was talking about, because I remember her mentioning someone who was planning to do OVER 40 GIFTS. I couldn't make myself do that this year, although part of me wanted to. Soooo I'll have to be content with 19. X'D But I'm so glad you think I captured all the different personalities well. Headshots are SO much fun!

effulgent-smile In reply to temiel [2010-12-29 22:32:41 +0000 UTC]

I've thought it was you

Sorry, for absence of referense, you a real hero, that you found it and drew a TRUE Elmira! I'm impressed, really! But, you know, this is so old story for me. I created Ellie and her world when I was 11 and in that time I was a fan af Sailor Moon and Harry Potter. I still love them, but my story is too childish to make it serious, but also it's the sweetest one for me. But now I'm working with character design for a new story, so in future there would be a references and picture and logic with my OCs.

temiel In reply to TheCursemaster [2010-12-27 14:27:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh, thank you! Tenmei was a fun challenge, since *talaith 's style is SO different from mine. Sywyn, of course, is always cool. This is actually the first time I've ever drawn him, go figure! I'm glad you think he came out all right, I hope Serena thinks so too. :3

Aw! I totally understand if you don't get around to it though. I know how it is, so many things, so little time! I've been wanting to start commissions or do art trades and requests, but stuff keeps coming up. Grr...

Ohmygod ohmygod YES I DID!! I had to, she's too cute!! I'm so glad she looks anywhere APPROACHING right, it's so hard to translate your style into mine. AND OMG CLARIS PICTURE BY TRACY?? That'd be a laugh riot, I'd ADORE that. Thank you in advance, I'm so excited, wheeeeee!! And if you should lose inspiration, I won't hold you to it! And yes, double merry Christmas, and ditto with the well-wishing. MUST SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.

I love seeing all the presents this year...everyone is so thoghtful and so lucky!!

(for the record, my absolute faves are the eyes on Eliam and Tenmei!! )

temiel In reply to bhudicae [2010-12-28 04:04:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yay! Thank you so much. I love seeing all the presents too, if nothing else the holidays are a great excuse to draw and see other people's characters you might normally not have seen. Very glad you like the eyes on those guys, they really do have interesting eyes in the originals. Tenmei in particular usually has some crazy eyeshadow on, which is something I don't normally bother to put on my ladies, but if the shoe fits...

Oh yes, no, seriously, check out all of these guys, they're very near and dear. I'm glad you like the full completed effect! I was hoping it didn't look TOO last-minute slapped-together.

definitely not slapped together and definitely will check them out. ^_^

temiel In reply to Igloinor [2010-12-26 18:28:40 +0000 UTC]

OMG, thank you so much!! I'm so glad he's not OOC. He actually I think came out one of my favorites of these presents so far, he has an INCREDIBLY fun face to draw!! Merry Christmas IN ADVANCE, I suppose! I'll submit these to my scraps individually once I finish them all, so then you can have him all by himself.

Ahh, Iris, thank you! You didn't have to do that. ;; <3 She looks so great and fierce. As soon as I get some headway on my commissions I'm totally going to do one for you in return. Thank you again!

temiel In reply to skardash [2010-12-26 19:08:07 +0000 UTC]

Vrrr, of course. It was no trouble. I'm so glad you like her! (Though I'll admit, I was pretty proud of Alicorn too, I hope she looks at ALL correct. The ears were a bit of a blast. ) You absolutely don't have to do anything for me! Of course, if you WANT to I can't stop you, but I just wanted to do you a little Iris. You're very welcome, hope you and Adam and Mini had a great Christmas!!

OH GOD YOU DREW HERRR

She looks SO FANTASTIC IN YOUR STYLE Ç-Ç she looks so beautiful and fierce *_* I love how you did her dreadlocks *OO* and the freckles!!

Oh my dear, I want to draw gifts for my friends too, including you T.T but right now I'm in the middle of a trip without access to my drawing tools and can't draw now! ;o; But as soon as a return to my home, I'll draw *-*

Thank you so much, I love it ;o; I'm tempted to commission you again to draw them once you are open to commish again!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to AmaDenchArt [2010-12-26 02:59:53 +0000 UTC]

YES INDEED I DID! I couldn't not. Honestly, I was torn whether I wanted to draw her or Lonerin more, but I figured I should stick with your character. She was so tricky, I was worried I wouldn't be able to make her look properly trollish! But a lot of fun, too. OMG OMG, I would so love to draw them, but I already owe you a commish! Once I get that done, though, I'd love to do Rak and Lonerin... though their love may be weird and strange, it sure is adorable!! And I'm definitely not one to criticize weird strange love. I hope you're having a great Christmas! AND OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE PRESENT!! If the moment passes, of course, I won't hold you to it, but thank you for thinking of me!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AmaDenchArt In reply to temiel [2010-12-26 16:37:41 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha it wouldn't mind either because Lonerin is tecnically mine! XD My boyfriend isn't much into roleplay or character creating, so I create everything for him xD I love my little zombie *_*

But YEAH! You did a wonderfull job with her *-* she surely looks very trollish! I love how she looks fierce there *__* it's awesome ;o;

You prefer to try to draw them or stick with the good ol' Stu and Sheba? :3 Cause if you didn't start it yet and would like to try drawing a kind of different couple, I could change the idea!

BUT YEAH"! Once I get home you'll be able to draw some presents! ^_^
Oh, Farael, Malachi, Pirossa, Leland... so many hot boys! *_* *drowns in her own drool*

Sighter [2010-12-25 09:15:29 +0000 UTC]

You know what? Now I feel tempted to use the damn thing as a Avatar next year. I really like your take on the rather vague-blank-skinned goggled guy.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

temiel In reply to Sighter [2010-12-26 12:44:29 +0000 UTC]

AHHHH omg, thank you SO much. He was tricky for me, I'm sure you may have guessed that my ability to draw the, um... human-trait-impaired... is a little on the shaky side. But I just had to try my hand at it, for all his blankness he's a pretty cool dude. I'm going to be posting individual headshots in my Scraps once I'm finished with this big page, so if you like you're more than welcome to save it and use it for whatever.
