What do you want for Christmas?

poopinmymouth · on 12-20-2004 07:37 AM

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-)

I didn't ask for anything. To be honest, I'll be lucky to get socks this year. I NEED socks!

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!

to have a good time with family etc is wanted most ... although i havnt asked for it .... all i actually asked for is half life 2 , been looking forward to it ... i suppose art related would be some inspiration and abilety [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] one other thing that would be handy is a spell checker somhow attached to my fingers [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

favorate gift im giving is candle sand to my brothers fiancie, thats a very odd gift too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A new ..\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\ImageReady.exe in my mailbox! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

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.. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

lkraan · on 12-20-2004 08:48 AM

I've asked for books with Miyazaki works in it. Graphic novels, storyboards and movie art books.
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.

Asthane · on 12-20-2004 08:55 AM

1) Money / Industry Job
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 ¬_¬

SLEEP: Daamn it, sleep is something I miss. All this over time work is cutting in to my sleep cycle.

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, that’s 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.

Foehammer · on 12-20-2004 09:29 AM

i'd like a nintendo ds....probably get that for myself

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

MoP · on 12-20-2004 09:37 AM

1) Trip to SF/CA Workshop
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.

Foehammer · on 12-20-2004 09:42 AM

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!!!!

Fabool · on 12-20-2004 09:55 AM

Not getting or giving anything this Christmas unfortunately..

If I was getting something art related, I would like to acquire some *skills* since apparently five years of practice doesn't give 'em ;(

Nerd Groupie · on 12-20-2004 10:34 AM

1. MONEY
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.

EmAr · on 12-20-2004 10:38 AM

I would love to get a wacom tablet and a new guitar and I also want more health(I am getting ill frequently these days [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ), luckily I'll be able to buy a guitar in january but I don't know about the rest;).

Josh_Singh · on 12-20-2004 10:45 AM

1.Metal gear solid 3/Jak & Daxter 3
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.

ElysiumGX · on 12-20-2004 11:00 AM

1. HalfLife2
2. XSI Foundation
3. Chapstick...damn it's cold.

KDR_11k · on 12-20-2004 11:10 AM

1. A 1GB CF card.
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...

EmAr · on 12-20-2004 11:19 AM

hmm I want one of these too(just saw it):

sundance · on 12-20-2004 01:37 PM

i'm getting
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.

seantree · on 12-20-2004 02:13 PM

1.) Some nice film lights with barndoors and softboxes
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.

Josh_Singh · on 12-20-2004 02:31 PM

"the star trek star charts"
NERD ALERT!!

sal_manilla · on 12-20-2004 02:41 PM

It's already in a box with a bow just waitin' till Christmas morn. An Autographed Dimebag Darell 333 Camo Washburn guitar.

sundance · on 12-20-2004 02:53 PM

oh, come on, GR, like a spider-man book and an angel boxset doesn't qualify as well?!

MoP · on 12-20-2004 02:56 PM

Sal: great present! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Now I just saw this today, and I already want one - trouble is they're about £3500 ($6500 approx.) ... yowch!

http://www.bmusic.com.au/prod3568.htm

Chances are I'd be the only guy in the country with one though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

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.
