Greetings, Regians!

Got a perfect idea of the Christmas spirit in your head? Then try and express it on paper or in any other form and see yourself rewarded this Christmas! Can you make that awesome drawing? Will your imposing words resound in our ears for the rest of the year? Are you good with video editing and are capable of throwing together something that will rock our socks? Or maybe you have a great voice and will sing a song? The possibilities are endless! So deploy your talents and participate in our Christmas Contest!

Rules / Participation
- Make a Christmas-themed entry about the legion in any form: written (story, poem, etc.), art (drawing, graphic, collage), multimedia (video, montage), voice (song) or any other creative way not covered here.
- Since it is about the legion, you can (and should) involve your character and any others you want in your production!
- Each user can enter with one entry of any kind.
- Deadline: 5 January 2014 midnight (GMT). Submit your entry (with your trademark / signed somewhere!) to this thread before then.

Rewards
Spread the word: more and better rewards become available as more people participate!

Not your thing? It can also be sold for ~100kk kinah on the broker. Quite valuable indeed, but we are willing to part with it for that one awesome entry! (if at least 5 users submit an entry).
You will also receive 30 Snowman Points for the event!

Thanks for the compliment, I'm always glad to serve. x]

Eliiii, it looks breathtaking. Astonishing. Absolutely amazing. Rather than only thanking you for your entry, I want to thank you for drawing this. It put a smile on my face -- and I am confident it will do the same for many others as well. Your works...personally I find them a joy to look at. And no, not only because they feature the legion .. there is just something in that soft and cosy style that always makes me remember that art not only conveys pictures but also feelings. Something that makes me remember how much more there is to art. It's a bit hard to describe.

Let's just say it's an amazing piece, and something which many people should see. Also .. if I didn't already have a complete image of Kuhm as a relaxed dude with sunglasses in his Hawaii shirt in my head I'd almost start to see him as a different person after this xD

PS. I'll be nagging you for that full-size version.

The amount of SP that can be gained from participating and winning have both been raised! Seize this chance!!

Yeah but i aint a good drawer/painter
Hmmz wanted to share my "paint' skillz but nah would be more drawn by a child of 6
And besides that I cant top what Eliii posted
Maybe I wil post a screenie tomorrow or w/e will see.

It doesn't have to be drawn

wow long comment mahn, but I'm really beyond flattered by all this long prose of a comment. To hear that this piece was able to put a smile on people's faces, which I had really hoped it would since it must be that way with the holiday spirit, really makes it feel it was worth it that I did draw this entry \o/ ^^ and hehe glad you liked the style I'm using now, my style before was more of sharp and less colorful-- only recently changed after I met my gf, she's a real big influence in my art...and well i'm not might be the most perfectionist sort of artist--(hence lots of mistakes here and there z.z) since I tend to slack off once it's reaches near completion rofl, but I'm glad that the piece was still able to emit the emotion that I wanted it to have when I paint~ soft and cosy~ ^^

Haha! Kuhm's an ossom guy even as a relaxed dude with sunglasses and hawaii shirt. Especially for you, since he's your dealer with BCM XDDDD

and I'll edit the entry and post in a download link for full-size soon..just want to..tidy up some parts of it more before I post the full-size up.

Dealer..dealer..let's just say that he has stuff that makes me happy, and I have stuff that makes him happy.  

And eh, above all, thanks for your reply. Was a really interesting read to find out how your style came to be and what you try to convey with your drawings
