Hello every pony! It really is that time of year again. I'm opening signups for the 12 Days of Christmas drawing comp.

I want to make sure I understand the Carol part. Is this drawing a picture that would portray the carol?
I would like "nine ladies dancing" for the 12 days please.
-
charmer says yes to the carol portraying :) which carol are you doing ?
-
Might make a carol one too if its ok I use a norwegian one.
-
yes as long as its christmasy if you need to explain about it a bit may be put an English translation underneath :)
-
Will do :D
-edit-
Translating a song from 1911 was not easy haha
Hope people still gonna understand it when i am done.
-
Deck the halls
-
Oh, this sounds fun! I'm sure I'd have time to do a pic by the deadline! Could I have 5 golden rings? Thanks!
-
Deck the halls
Could you let me know a title please? If it's a bit awkward to translate make something up that best describes it.
Any info you send with the pic I'll post too for people to read.

Yes you may. I've added you on.
-
12 days- Partridge in a Pear Tree, please
Carol- Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker Suite, please
-
Oh forgot to tell the title of the carol of my choice is "På låven sitter Nissen (At the barn sits Nisse/hob/brownie/brounie)"
Old old song. I think every kid in Norway know this.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
-
I always enjoy this one! Can't wait to see everyone's!
-
why don't you try ANB :)
-
Charmer, were you asking me my title? I thought Deck the Halls was the title?
-
Hi - this look like fun!
Please may I apply for Seven Swans-a-swimming?
Thanks! :biggrin:
-
Carol Song: A Christmas Carol this was played in the musical movie Scrooge.
Too bad that I can't do the songs Bless Us All, or another song from the Christmas musical Scrooge called Christmas Children, or the song Tiny Tim sings in that movie.
-
Charmer, were you asking me my title? I thought Deck the Halls was the title?
I didn't realise I'd asked you. It was meant to be strawberrysweets post above yours that I quoted. I'm a silly little pony, lol!
-
What size paper? Do we need to use?
-
What size paper? Do we need to use?
Charmer says it's up to you. As long as you're able to scan it in and it's viewable when you PM it to me that's fine. You can use any medium or art form you choose. You're welcome to use a computer as well, they don't have to be hand drawn.

I haven't got a art program on my laptop, so I will have to do it hand drawn first then scan it.

We have half the places filled now. There's still a couple of weeks to sign up so please do come and have a go if you're interested :-)
-

But its not going to be highly details like the dove piece.
Oh about that, do we send them into you and later can upload it to such as DA or do we have to wait untill everyone is done?

Yes, you may do 3 french hens. I've put you down for that too now.
Basically, PM them to me when they are complete. When I have all the entries back (no later than December 15th) I'll put them all in a poll thread on here for people to vote for the winners of each comp. I just ask that you hold off sharing them online anywhere beforehand so the vote is the first time the voters will have seen them all.
After that you're free to share them where you like :-)
-
Just sent you my "Four Calling Birds"
(I'm on a roll, here :lol: )
:beerchug:

Yay, I always enjoy seeing the results of these two competitions! Good luck everyone!

Six geese a laying please (I've got a very funny picture in mind) but I'll do it on plain paper and take a picture of it and PM it to you.

*Edit alrighty how about I have.... Eight Maids of Milking if six is taken.*

There's still a couple of weeks to sign up. It's always great to get the spaces filled so please dont be afraid to have a go if you've not done so before, it really is lots of fun. Just leave a post on here telling me which you'd like to take part in.

This looks really fun! Could I do "All I Want for Christmas is You"? :lovey: So do I just draw a mlp themed art work relating to the song/theme?
-
Oh fun! Hey. Think I could perhaps apply to do a “santa claus is coming to town” one? I’d really really like to try a hand Er...hoof at this.

Come on everyone else lets see if we can get the last two 12 Days slots and last Carol slot filled within the next couple of days! That'd be a week earlier than I planned :-)

No worries. Thanks for letting me know though.

Sent in 2 of 3.
gonna try and finish the last one tomorrow.

Aw, love this contest. :heart: I don't think I will have the time to enter this year, not to mention the two remaining days are ones I've done/collaborated on before. I'll just leave a bump so we can hopefully fill up those last three spots.
So excited to see everyone's amazing holiday art.

I would like to draw something related to Enya's We Wish You a Merry Christmas. I think her cover really has something nice to work with. <3

Ok, lets see if we can get 11 pipers and 12 drummers sorted asap.

Going to get so busy this season, good thing I've already started! With luck, I may start coloring today!

Are we allowed to enter pics of custom ponies? Or only drawings of ponies?
Also, may I ask what type of "prizes" that you recieve if you win?
This seems like fun.

Generally it's hand drawn or PC drawn pics. As long as it's technically an artwork of time kind I'm ok with something different, and it has to depict whatever you're attempting also.
As for the prizes, don't expect anything too extravagant, it's usually just random pony-related items we've bought from local shops; stationary, blind bags, stickers, badges, key rings etc. You may have some before and you may not, it's just to make it a bit more fun and I think the winners deserve something as they are all so amazing each time.

Well, if it's okay to make a custom pony, I'd like to participate for the "12 drummers drumming" theme.
