Christmas Countdown

[Chris]

Every year members flock to our TBT Advent Calendar.
This year, we would like to see you design your own.
​

How to Participate

---

Your task is to create either an Animal Crossing and/or winter holiday themed advent calendar. To make clear that it is an advent calendar, the design must include doors! It is up to you whether you simply wish to draw the doors onto your design or create a functional calendar with opening doors.


Rules

• Entries must be your own work and you must make everything yourself.
• You can use craft supplies but cannot use other people's work or any other pre-made components.
• Entries must fit either an Animal Crossing and/or a winter holiday theme.
• No collaborative projects.
• Submissions can be hand drawn or digital.
• Animations, videos, etc are not accepted.
• A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your creations. Submissions that appear rushed or made as a joke won't be accepted.
• All entries submitted are final. Please do not edit your entry after submission unless asked to by a staff member.
• Your username must be visible somewhere in your submission.
• Keep all creations appropriate for a PG-13 audience.

How to Submit

---

Submit your entry by posting in this thread by 11:59pm EST on December 24th, 2022. Your TBT username must be visible somewhere in the image, either on a name card or in the case of digital artwork written directly on the image.

Would a slide door or a covering you remove to reveal whatever be acceptable?

12 Days Of Christmas Advent Calendar

 

[tessa grace]

Could I use, say, small jars or components that I paint for my advent calendar (if its a physical one)? And does it have to be 25 days or could it be 12?

This is fine.

This is a hard one to answer because I cannot picture it in my head. Would you be able to show me an example?

There isn't a set number of doors required because I didn't want to limit it solely to Christmas. e.g. there are Hanukkah calendars that only have eight doors.

Bell Bag Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

Side Note: I realized I miscounted by bag and I didn't want to rearrange them all, so I made the top Bell Bag the "Star" of the Tree. Bonus prize behind that one, I guess!
Side Side Note: Drawing on a Track Pad without a stylus, is hard. Slow and Steady won the race ​

Here's a pixel advent calendar featuring some of the dogs from AC:

I initially made it teeny tiny, so it's a bit blurry because I resized it, but hopefully it's still okay!
