What do you want for Christmas?
polycounter lvl 19
Alright, list three things you have asked for Christmas.
1) Your most wanted gift
2) An art related gift (if you asked for one)
3) Silliest gift
Then say what your favorate gift you are giving is.
I'll go first. The thing I want the most is a German book on Aesthetics that Peppi recomended. There is an art book called "creative sparks" I really want. The silliest gift is that I hope my mom and dad get me a big pack of chapstick again like last year.
My favorate gift I am giving, are the portraits I did of my family, and then I am going to take them all out to Ruth Chris during the holidays. (expensive steakhouse for you wanker/moonpeople/non-US citizens) 8-)

Given a choice, though, I really, really need Santa to bring me a new, steady freelance client, like the one I used to have. Ya don't even have to gift-wrap it!

favorate gift im giving is candle sand to my brothers fiancie, thats a very odd gift too
The old one's corrupt, so if anyone would mail me just that file (7.0, no patches)?
Just had a bad case of Jeefo on my comp, and I really don't want to reinstall the darn program just because of this measly one executable..
I'm with jzero on the socks. Need them badly and never get around to buying them.
Got my son a big load of colored kids clay to get his little hands modelling.
2) Second Monitor to replace the one UPS smashed
3) Digital Thermometer so I can tell people how friggin cold it is.
As for what I'm giving... Well, I'm giving what I'm getting... Which is pretty much, well, nothing. Oh, I guess I did promise to edit the junkyard tires out of a picture of a deer for my grandma... I guess that counts.
Me? Bitter? No, just cold. Very very cold ¬_¬
2. Wacom tablet
3. gummy bears
Digital Camera: although I can never fathom reasons for using it since I paint all my textures now.
Popularity on POLYCOUNT: Oh, wait, I have that already :P
Giving:
1. I like to make others around me laugh so; anything I do to accomplish this in bringing joy to others makes me feel better.
Ah well, thats my requests and desires this holiday season.
POOP, despite the hatred, Mary Christmas dude. Hope you and your loved ones and all of you on this board have a good Christmas Holiday. Don't get too wasted.
art related, i asked for some game texture "how-to" books (photoshop)
my fiance was going to get me a Robe with a big "Z" embroidered on the back (for Zane) but i decided to go with the olive green Adidas made from hemp
2) See above!
3) Umm. Probably whatever my brother gets me. Don't think I asked for anything silly (though I usually do).
Favourite gift I am giving is a custom t-shirt for my brother that says "pwned!!!!1" in silver letters on the front. Heh.
oh and an internship at Gearbox.....or a lottery win....nothing too big.......just a few gabillion dollars....world peace....end hunger....and ferrari's for everyone!!!!
If I was getting something art related, I would like to acquire some *skills* since apparently five years of practice doesn't give 'em ;(
2. Digital Camera
3. Shampoo
Hmm...favorite gift I'm giving...not sure I can pick one. I tend to buy presents for any poor sap that crosses my path near the holidays. Probably the loads of toys I'm giving my godson, because I want to watch him open them to see what he will do.
2.Those sweet anatomy dvd's with the Model that has magnetic joints
3.Some cool hard to find action figures, like the deadpool marvel legends or the mcfarlane movie manics ash.
Im giving my brother a bottle of georgio armani aqua di gio and a sweet jacket. I hoping it will help him out with the ladies.
2. XSI Foundation
3. Chapstick...damn it's cold.
2. The CF card probably counts as art related because I could stuff it into a digicam. If I had one.
3. Hm, skill?
Haven't really thought about the giving bit...
CoD deluxe edition (w/united offensive XP)
angel season 5 boxset 1
ultimate spider-man 'carnage' tpb
dale brown's dreamland: armageddon novel
the star trek star charts.
2.) An 11x20ft greenscreen with stands
3.) Umm, didn't really ask for anything silly.
Best gift I am giving is a pair of diamond earrings for my girlfriend. Hope they suffice since we bought a house this year we really don't have much money to spend on one another.
NERD ALERT!!
Now I just saw this today, and I already want one - trouble is they're about £3500 ($6500 approx.) ... yowch!

Chances are I'd be the only guy in the country with one though

Can probably almost guarantee that's better than what Im getting from the boyfriend. At least I won't have to pay for my own Christmas present...like I did for my birthday.

Now why would you take a bunch of portraits out for steak dinner? Hmm, I guess it *would* be cheaper.
About the question, all I really want is the super deluxe ROTK DVD set. My wife and are trying to save money.
1. 512 mb of PC3200 Kingston Hyper-X Ram
2. H.R. Giger's Necronomicon
3. Pajama Pants
I think my favorite gift I'm giving would be, a tatoo I'm designing for a friend. It's basically one of those sacred hearts with flames shooting out of the top, and has a burnt banner saying "never die". She kept begging me to do it for her, but I wanted to save it for a chirstmas gift.
Isn't it great to be artistic, you can save money, and also give nice "heart felt" gifts.
A new ..\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\ImageReady.exe in my mailbox!
[/ QUOTE ]Hrmm, forgot to add my mail address - jesper.dk@stofanet.dk...
But anyway, it's just one executable.
Sleep.
More gaming time.
A tumor to grow in the lower quadrant of the kid that won't turn down his music.
Happy Holidays.
that's the ONLY thing i asked for this year.
need some money and a job.
moving in with my girlfriend after christmas. well i guess i have already, just havent taken more than clothes to her place.
HL2 art book (already got it).
Don't really want much else so everything I get this season will be a surprise.
2) The WoW artbook
3) Shelving for all of my shotglass collection!
Best gift i'm giving is a pair of gift cards for my parents.. one for Home Depot and one for Starbucks... their two homes-away-from-home.
2.) A Scanner
3.) M1940 Cavalry Boots.
Scott
-The will to get a lot of animation done during the remaining 2/3 of my vacation, in which sitting in front of a computer is feeling like a poor use of time.
-The flight attendant on my Casper-SLC flight yesterday!
- Tripod and flash for my digital camera
- My bike to magicly heal itself... why isn't it made from an organic plastic and memory metals?
2) I have quite a few art and referance related things down on my list, mostly how to or photography books that make good referance art. I can't name one over all the rest.
3) Time... Every year I put it down, and every year I don't get any more of it. Oh I also put down an RC hovercraft because ever as a kid I put it down in big caps with pictures and ads stapled to my list and never got one. So as a joke I always put it down. My wife almost tried to right (what she thought) was a childhood wrong. But I made her see it was only a joke, I put on my XMAS list my parents ask for. SINCE one year they lead me to believe I was getting one and then got a bike. I was excited because well, I was ridding a bananna seat bike to school and the pointing and laughing would stop... but heart broken because I really wanted the RC hovercraft.
I want to spend time with my wife and daughter and generally just relax.
I want my hands to heal.

Does this come in grey, because I would like this too.
