Hanako Games

Christmas Contest - Holiday Spirit

#1 by hanako - Dec 3 2011

Okay! So, it's that time of year again to spread some free joy.

The idea of this contest is to be festive. What I want to see are drawings of characters from games on my site dressed up to celebrate the holidays.

Imagine Professor Grabiner wearing a Santa hat. (And probably looking REALLY GRUMPY about it.)

It does not have to be Christmas, other holidays are fine. You can make a holiday up if you want! Maybe Damien secretly celebrates UNICORN LOVERS day.

Don't worry if you're not the world's best artist, this isn't a professional art competition, and *funny* wins points every time.

I'm going to run this for about two weeks, so get your doodles in by December 17th and you can win a free game! For this particular contest, you can enter as often as you want, but no individual will win more than one prize.

(Available free games are anything I sell directly - Cute Knight (or Kingdom), Fatal Hearts, Science Girls, Date Warp, Magical Diary, or possibly holding onto your freebie and waiting for the next release.)

Sounds fun, may give this a go Would we be allowed to do our horses?

#3 by FantasyFan - Dec 3 2011

Yay, I'm totally gonna do this! Just need to think of a good idea.

#4 by SilverHyena - Dec 3 2011

Sweet! I'm going to do this!

#5 by irinack - Dec 5 2011

So, If I want to post my drawing... I'll post it here or upload it on deviantART? Where?

#6 by hanako - Dec 5 2011

Wherever will do as long as you post a link here so we can see it, but since we don't have file uploading on this forum, deviantart is probably a good choice.

Would we be allowed to do our horses?

Your horse hall PCs? Sure.

Seeing how amazing this entry is makes me want to give up before I've started.
Unfortunatly I don't know how to give up

#11 by hanako - Dec 10 2011

Never give up - instead, get your friends to join in! If there are *lots* of entries then there are more prizes given away.

I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, so you guys have a bit of extra time to get your entries in

#15 by FantasyFan - Dec 16 2011

I have two entries.

Entry 1:

And Entry 2:

My original idea was to do these silly gags with each of the datable characters, but I only ended up doing two. Maybe I'll do the others someday.

Ugh here's my... odd entry x_x I was kinda in rush and just realized there's something wrong in the picture when I finished it but I couldn't fix the error >_> It even became worse T_____T Well hope it is acceptable *x*

#18 by Ren - Dec 18 2011

And why not, I've wanted to draw fanart of Date Warp (more specifically of Alben) for quite a while. There's an obligatory cat as well, of course! It's supposed to be a bookmark out of a set with all the characters, but I don't think I'm going to be able to finish the other ones in time. :(

Wiz Rin: I actually really like your picture, it's spontaneous and very well drawn. :)
