The theme for this months HOARD is
Christmas Wars
This can be any sort of Christmas themed miniature.
If you submit a figure, they must include both front and rear art, have a proper trimming outline, and include instructions for multi-part models. Recolors and figure mods are encouraged, and even uncolored designs are welcome.
No nudity or sexuality, but bloody gory and horrifying is encouraged.
If you have questions about how to design your figures, like formats, resolution, and stuff like that, see the HOARD GUIDELINES in this forum category. As Jims taking some personal time, here's this months Hoard Theme. Feel free to submit stuff off theme if you like  (Hope theirs no major objections to me posting this...) |

As I ponder what I will do for this month's hoard, and my first hoard entry, the choice is clear. There can only be one 'Sanity Claus'. ;D
I'll leave it at that.

When I saw the posts this morning, I thought, "Oh crap, I'd better get something done." I had almost forgotten. I know everyone had different ideas about Sanity Claus, but this is what I had in my mind.  Just a rough sketch, now I need to finish him up. I was thinking about having a hand reaching out of the bag as well. |

That is horrible, you can almost smell the stale urine from his unwashed sack.  |

liking the evil claus Labrat. I don't get the full urine effect, more a crazy possibly mass murdering Santa Other than naming, the Gift mimic's are done, I cheated a little to add variety by simply reversing and re-colouring  edit: the above are not to scale so don't try printing them |

Woah! Great stuffs here.
Whoever pack a gift in a green paper and a pinky ribbon DESERVE to have it transformed in a mimic ;D I can't look at that two colors for more than 5 seconds!.
I tried to draw two evil christmas trees, one throwing the decoration red balls like bombs (with the lighten fuse on the ball) and one using the "christmas comet" as a scimitar, wielding that "flurry" ribbons (dunno how to call them) like mexican in western movies wield cartridge belts..... but they were horrible, so i put the idea here, in case someone with skills like to draw it.

Well I guess I'd better get him painted and on the roster then.
...how do I include the smell of stale urine in a layered pdf?...

Forget the stale urine smell what it needs is a layer with a sack full of meds & an elf in a doctors coat with a clipboard lol
Sanity Claus bringing Prozac and Ritalin to all the bad little boys & girls
