My entry for XMAS CARD CONTEST

This is based on a true story that a friend of a friend of mine said to me, long long time ago...

A young man entered the cold winter night to visit his girlfriend, when he suddenly was attacked by snowmen with evil grins. Shocked and overwhelmed by the big creepy balls of snow that was attacking him, he froze - knowing not what to do.
They packed him in snow and dressed him in christmas decorations, but what happened next nobody knows...

Rumors say that there is a Christmas card circulating in the European mail - a strange old photo showing the last moment of the young man. But you better not keep it! If you get it, hurry and send it off to someone else. You don't wanna some evil snowmen knocking on your door at christmaseve. ;)


Thanks to Nick ( powernemo) for your help and putting funny ideas in my head. I love you honey! Yep, that's him in the picture. (Poor thing had to pose for me in the cold snow for 8 hours. I knew there was something wrong when he stopped blinking his eyes. :p (But he is fine now). ).

Photoshop, Wacom Intuos

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Nasty snowmen! Cool.

One crit: The snowmen need some more contrast to fit in with the man and the finches.

Merry christmas to you too!

P.S just out of curiosity do you get christmas cards ie. they fold, or postcards in europe? I ask this as this is the second postcard entry I have seen and we dont get that in the UK. Just curious :)

Thank you everyone!

ARTOONATOR: I would never have thought of that. Thanks for the tip!

Andy-Jones: Lol. We have christmascards that folds too. But we also have these simple ones with just a front and a backside. I prefer the folded ones though. ;)

Colors are vibrant through out, but some contrast as others have mentioned could help make an overall stronger piece. Usually backrounds lack in substance, however you've added in some elements that help tie the whole image together, as in the foot prints in the snow and the rabbit sitting. Well done.

Awesome style, funny card, I especially love the facial expressions. The animals scattered throughout are great too, I especially love the bird that's in the air. Carrot on the guy's head and the little footprints in the background are nice touches. Good luck in the contest :)

Now that's what I call a great XMas card. The color palette is rich, and the expression's on the Snowmen are killer, they really make this piece. Great work all around.

Oh ,forgive me, I forget to comment on this beautiful, funny card! You should make more funny artwork, or illustrations for childrenbooks!
The snow is very well painted and the snowmen reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes!
Top marks!

Funny!
At last, some new ideas for a Christmas card.
I would really like to see more from this series (if there are any).
You could sell the series for Christmas cards to a printing house.

Keep up the good work!

Oops, I always wanted to thank you for a cursed christmas card. Now I can't leave the house this winter without my good ole trustworthy flame thrower. :)
Funny picture, lovely colours.
