Secret Santa 2012 on SmackJeeves

I’ve always wanted to participate in a Secret Santa game. In fact, I went so far as to host one last year at Indie Komiks Manila because I’ve never gotten an invite to one myself. o(╥﹏╥)o

Well, this year, I found out that SmackJeeves has an annual Secret Santa event where anyone can sign up. And if someone happens to have gotten “scrooged” meaning they didn’t get a gift from their Secret Santa, Smack Santa and the Head Elves will hire a Gift Elf to draw for them! ヾ(･ω･*)ﾉ

I participated as a Secret Santa and Gift Elf just for the fun of it~ More work for me, but hey, no one wants to get scrooged over the holidays, right? ヽ(*^ｰ^)人(^ｰ^*)ノ

I don’t think anyone was able to tell these two artworks were done by the same person, haha! I wouldn’t have believed it either now that I think about it… （⌒▽⌒ゞ I’m a little sad that Marchen de Lune didn’t comment whether they liked my version of Krianos or not, but I’m also quite happy that my fellow Gift Elf, Bad Banana seemed really ecstatic about my version of Charlie! ヽ(≧∇≦)ノ

I almost didn’t draw Charlie for her because her webcomic is hardcore yaoi. (((( ;°Д°)))) But when I thought about it, it seems really disheartening to receive a fan art of someone else’s work when you were already scrooged! ━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━ I think I was pretty lucky to have found Charlie in her tumblr. He seemed like an adorable guy, so I gave him a fluffy coat~ ╮(─▽─)╭

And so, Santa, I’ve been really good this year, but I found out I got scrooged too! (」゜ロ゜)」 Well, no matter, Santa got me Gift Elf and I am more than happy with what I got~

Because really, who would have thought of mixing all three of my series on SmackJeeves into one fantabulous fan art? Earthfield, that’s who! (´ω｀★) And it makes me wonder, did Jeremy follow Erin home? Maybe he was worried about her but decided she’ll be ok after getting off her stop, so he’s on his way home now.

Or they’re actually neighbors! That’s even better! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･

Not a bad start for 2013. I’ve nearly forgotten how fulfilling it is to give a little love to a fellow artist. I think I’ll do a few more of those art trades. ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ
