December, 2008: Carny Christmas

[sketchtheatre]

Happy holidays everyone!

December's theme is...... Carny Christmas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carny

Up to you to interpret the theme... in the end you could have a circus freak wrapped in popcorn string covered in tinsil with an angel on top and that would work just fine.

enjoy and good luck!

edit: winners announced!

interesting theme

[gobalino]

Oooh I like the sound of this one, should be fun to play with :D

[Chili Pepper Chris]

The first thing that came to mind with this theme was the freakshow that you had with the old school carnivals so I went with a spin on that with the bearded lady and the rubber man. Good luck to all!

[TimmY-TaLenT]

and to think my first drawing had a bearded lady in it.. atleast u pulled it off looks good man :)

[TimmY-TaLenT]

well i was thinking what do carnival folk and Christmas have in common....well almost nothing at all really i think carny's celebrate something totally unknown to us normies who celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa and such..then i thought maybe theyre the people behind the mall santa. so heres my take on mrs. clause and an elf on a smoke break at the mall :Denjoy! and merry christmas

[questionmark_man]

oh man what a drag... i just finished this cool rendering, thinking that carny would be maybe short for carnage or something.. when I realized that carny means carneval... so back to the drawing board... :)

[questionmark_man]

wait a minute... I live in italy... so can I still qualify??

[TimmY-TaLenT]

i dont think it matters where you live guy

[Joshyboy123]

how do we submit the sketch

[Smarty]

Enjoyed this one... Ink and pen.

[TimmY-TaLenT]

when u post a reply scroll to the bottom and under additional options itll say manage attachments then follow the simple steps and post like you normally would

[gobalino]

I decided to keep this one simple and went with the smooch-booth. Had to be done, sorry hehe :D

[sterone]

My scanner is dead, I just need to borrow my friend's and I'll post my entry...
By the way, there is not that much drawings for this month contest, where are you all ? The holidays aren't started yet, as far as I know...

[gobalino]

[GrassZ]

so here is my drawing -

"Child Thief" - evil elf who conciliate the children with his dirty xmas lies..

(this was drawn on a big piece of paper so i couldnt scan and join the images perfectly ... but the image is watchable)

So Good luck to everyone and Happy Holidays!

[sterone]

I imagine carny booth employees as retired circus freaks or something like that. So my drawing represent the astonishingly strong guy who as to retire because his hand has been cut after trying to lift a too heavy weight.

So that guy is now working at the "X-Tree Ball" booth, where you need to throw a ball in the Christmas tree to win prizes.

I was killing some time today, and still had this month's topic on the brain. so i gave it another whirl. it's the "ringmaster" of the carnival giving you a special gift....but he'll probably ask you to open it after 15 paces.
