i am bricking myself for my one these so far have been fantastic
Yeah, me too. My upcoming art piece is a bit rubbish due to me not being any good at art (at all).
But terrific work by everyone so far.

Andy Lambert

Everyone's contributions are greatly appreciated - they're all wonderful!
Fantastic festive offerings from Darren, Albion and Rogue - cracking stuff, chaps!

I know Rebeliion would never allow it, but I can't help thinking all this seasonal artwork - not not just from this calendar, but previous ones too - would make a lovely pack of assorted Christmas cards. Especially for charity. :)

Rogue Judge

More great artwork and we're not yet half way!

LongTheArtist, great Anderson, sure to keep our...hearts warm this Christmas!
Awesome Nemesis Darren, gorgeous colors as always!
Albion, nice looking Mac Mac! I'll take two...

Well done gents, keep em coming!

They have opened the door to all sorts of game licenses so who knows.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

Brilliant work, all.

So I'm up next. Stage fright. Will be with you later on in the day if that's ok?

Beautiful work, James - truly stunning! Looking forward to seeing the finished product..!

Phenomenal work, James. And thanks for taking the 14th. I almost broke the advent calendar.

Fantastic stuff from everyone so far, but Colin's offering today actually made me laugh out loud, which was much needed — thanks, Colin! Still hoping to get my second effort finished in time...

Great work everyone, and yeah special nod to Colin - very well done.

As always, the work is exquisite.  The Danny and Kano strip though shows a level of ingenuity that is worthy of the prog.  It captures the sentiments of Watterson's work perfectly, combining with the irascibility that the prog has long been renowned for.  On a par with, if not better than, Droid Life.  At the very least it should be included in Zarjaz.  I suppose the question now is, how do you top that?

Colin YNWA

Gosh that all very kind and especially good to hear it got the laugh it was after. BUT I should be clear (sorry meant to post this in the main thread), just as last year this is a direct lift from an actual Calvin and Hobbes christmas strip, which is how I was able to capture anything of Watterson's glorious essense!

We know, the genius part is how you've managed to keep it almost identical yet completely different, and so wonderfully relevant to the characters. Even going as far as to give an explanation as to why BC are still alive!

It's brilliant!
