What an overnight transformation!

The art is even better than lat year, if such a thing is possible!

I took down my own example bauble and strung a little popcorn. For bilateral symmetry or just because it looks nice.





I hope to see more decorations posted and I will be a faithful spirit and try to get them on the tree within 24.

As I did last year, everyone gets a copy of the finished tree, and if folks don't mind sharing their original artwork, I'd be happy to post the tree on Xara file format with all the art done in Xara as such.


Ho,ho, ho!

Wot a show!

I think I posted 3D Rudolph last year but I've lightened him up and thought he might look well under the tree

Hi, I uploaded the wrong Sanat Sliegh one Gare...here is the png one

See if this works.Sorry old age...

I will get back to adding the ornaments tomorrow, promise. Maya and everone else were too generous!

Here's what we look like now:



I didn't want to put the teddy bear and the cat-in-the-box on the tree, so I thought they'd make nice presents under the tree.

By the way: Smudge is our long-hair calico cat, who likes to eat plastic and tries to fit in boxes half her size. I sent the photo to Maya as a goof, but darn if she didn't illustrate (in Xara) the essence of our little pussy cat:



Can I get a guest tutorial out of your next year, Maya?

Just incredible spirit and beautiful illustrations, all of you! My goal is to get our finished tree into the Outsider in January. How hard can that be? I have Nova's email!

A wonder, truly a wonder to behold...all of us working toward a common goal.

Thrilled,

Gary

Egg? I have a present for you. A new avatar:



Meant to be "light", not offensive in the least. I know 3D stuff can be a little hyper-real, and thus hyper-ugly, but this just came to me, and I asked around before daring to post it. Members thought you might like it.

Gary,

I love that and thanks for the image. No offense in any way. No need to ask around either, I don't usually take offensive other than time wasters and trolls

However please don't be offended if I don't use it. I've used the same avatar on TG, plus other forums for quite a few years. I find that I can filter forums via avatars much quicker if the user retains the same image. Change it & I take a while re-associating it to an individual. For example Scotty, in the post above yours, has had that same avatar for a very long time. I can instantly recognise it's a post by him because it remains constant. Bill used to change his avatar but over the past few years settled on the Batman logo, and whilst he did variations you instantly knew it was a post by Bill.

It's a matter of choice. In a similar manner Cloud has recently requested his username was changed, and for the life of me I can't remember his old one now, but I have noticed on reading old threads the content refers to his old username which now has no relevance to his new username, which for a visitor could be quite confusing. No offence intended Cloud.

Perhaps as my post has nowt to do with the original thread you may wish to split it?

I'm not moving the post, Egg. As long as you like it and accept it in the spirit in which it was intended, it's all good...it's a gift, man. Souls do this sort of stuff around this time of year. And that comes round robin to our tree decoration—in what spirit are we decorating it?


No problem with not using it as an avatar; never presumed you'd change just because I laid some egg art on you!

It just sort of happened in my imagination, and then I realized you might make more relevant and creative use of it than I.

Love the animation. When it hatches, you're gonna have scrambled egg.

I am

You are
