It's almost Easter, and StaciNadia is uploading a Christmas picture?! She sure is, because this is her entry to
 contest!The idea was to draw Seiken character celebrating a holiday. Quite a few years ago, I attempted a picture of the SD2 (aka Secret of Mana) gang helping Santa load up his sleigh, since Santa and Rudolph are actual characters in that game. I wanted to try that again for this contest. I eventually changed my mind to this picture, probably a few weeks before I started this. Here we have Randy, Purim, and Popoie taking a picture with Santa and Rudolph, much like kids (and pets!) have their picture with Santa taken at the mall. The photographer? One of the walrus dudes from Todo Village! Doesn't it just give you the warm fuzzies? ^-^ |

I love that you thought of a holiday scenario that is actually part of the game -- the stylization of Santa and Rudolph is sweet, simple, and very true to their SoM look. Rudolph's beady eyes are so cute =3
The arragement of the characters is nice and balanced, and evokes a family portrait. Most of the hard shadows look like they're cast from a frontal camera flash (it would be funny if they all had red-eye!). Some look more like they were cast from overhead sunlight, though, like the hair shadow on Randy's face. The cloudly background looks nice, but the picture might have benefitted from a more Christmas-y backdrop.
I'm so proud of you for muscling through this despite technical difficulties! Overall it came out great -- colorful, cute, and festive. Good work Nadia, this brought back memories!

Tsubasa: KOOOOOOOOOI!!!!!!! GODDO SUKURANDAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay, the family portrait idea was definitely what I was going for!
I didn't even THINK about the flash from the camera! :0 Red-eye would've been hilarious! XD I was picturing a bunch of those big lights they use for photography shining down on them, leaving the only shadows on the bottom slopes of things (did that make sense?). I toyed with the idea of a screen background, like in photography studios, but I realized that would take more time than I had...
Thank you for your great comments! =3 And the technical difficulties got solved (it was the USB port, apparently!), too!
Good Luck!
