C.O.W. - Xmas 2006 topic - Voting!

[Fozzybar]

I put up the most interesting suggestions. Vote for your favorite, the Xmas COW will start 17th december with the winner.

[ikuru]

let me get this straight, a Bauble is a smal thing of beauty right? Like jewlery of some sort.

[possessed]

heh thnx for making present pooper an option.

Bauble Maker - I like it, it has potential, not only must you come up with a creature, you also have to design a bauble I guess
Present Pooper - k
Christmas Parasite - A little vague for my tastes.. what's it leeching off of, christmas? Santa? A reindeer?
Elf Eater - Bring on the gory beasts
Santa's Wish Watchers - I fore see lots of Oculi :p

Oh I'll be entering this round btw, it's been AGES for me.

[Supervlieg]

Bauble maker, sounds like fun. Though I really liked "Xmas Spirit" by Jakkas. But it isn't in the list :(

JakkaS was not nice to me the last days, so i rejected his idea :P
Actually a spirit is not a creature in my eyes, it could have any shape and i couldn't reject even a random entry as long as the artist sets the transparency lower than 100% :perv:

[JakkaS]

Thx SuperV...I thought it was interesting too, but Fozz couldn't stand it that was my idea not his,... :perv:...so he rejected it. hehe

[Bruce Jensen]

3 out of 5 of the choices are dark... :(

[TheDirtSyndicate]

oh come on, an elf eater could be good... what if there are EVIL elves that try to sabotage christmas every year so santa got himself a bizarre creature called the elf eater to protect the factory and his reindeer... then it would be good right?
haha

i had an idea, but got in on this a bit late. i was thinking of santas "rejected reindeer"
just a bunch of misfit/deformed reindeer that santa rejected. haha
then we could have 9 winners!! the "b - team"
haha

[Fozzybar]

did i mention that my vote counts 3x?

[Supervlieg]

Rejecting is not in the Xmas spirit

[TheDirtSyndicate]

well, they wouldn't exactly be REJECTED... being on the "B team" isn't exactly rejected... kinda like they're bench warmers.
so if Donner is sick, Dongler steps in and takes his place, unfortunately Dongler has only 3 legs.. luckily the elves are able to disguise his elephantitis ridden penis as a fourth leg... those elves are so resourceful... (get it: "dong"ler haha)





...im a dork.

[dragon4lunch]

Wow you people are vicious! [I]Elf Eater[I] is ahead in the polls! What does that say over this group? I guess it dates back to the stone age, that we, as humans, are impressed by creatures that can kill others...

[mackerman]

thanks complete2... i feel like i need to take a shower and do some repenting after reading that post.

anywho...

i went with elf eater for slightly more reason than i greatly dislike all of the other topics... not that any would affect my rending skills any differently. that's an ordeal in and of itself.

[GreenThumbArt]

i wish i could do multiple votes because i like the bauble maker idea and yet i want to see elves get eaten at the same time... for the sake of all you people who also want to see little people being eaten i will vote elf eater.

[ikuru]

Elf Eater Elf Eater Elf Eater.

[dragon4lunch]

Hey Ikuru, when are you going to fix your signature "feaw" - I assume you mean it to say "few". Yes?

[mattbyng]

oo elf eater sounds like some fun!

[jfwalls]

Alright, the choice is clear. Let's commence with the devouring.

[ikuru]

well, i had to look it up in the dictionary as well, but here is a google image:

thanks maaan!
Your a good bear.

[ikuru]

Hey Ikuru, when are you going to fix your signature "feaw" - I assume you mean it to say "few". Yes?

thanx Maaan! Fixing it NOW.

[Mr-Joe]

I agree with bruce, too many dark topics, where are the funny ones, there were tons of good ones. gonna have to go for bauble maker.

[Fozzybar]

cool, bauble maker leads with twice the points...

my info about my vote value was wrong...i meant it multiples the option i voted for with the factor 3x :perv:

[Michael Jaecks]

I think it should be a monster that eats elves and poops baubles.

There, everyone will be happy.

[Supervlieg]

Everybody will only be happy when we do another hellish beast :devil:

[Michael Jaecks]

Its true. They all come out of the woodwork for that stuff. Try to do one sports related again. What, there was like four of us for FIFA? Its impossible to deny. Artists tend to identify with the devil and don't feel all that comfortable with organized physical activities.

Also... is present pooper really a dark topic? I for one would spend a lot less money this time of year. I would consider that something in the plus column.

I guess it is a little Freudian when you think about it.

[ikuru]

How about a devil worshiping elfeater on fire?

In sweden we have this goat.
http://epi.gavle.se/upload2/Gavle&Co/bock_hsida_gavle.jpg
He is the christmas goat, (Pagan) and he can change shapes, sometimes He is the one bringing the pressents other times he is the shapeshifter and a dark force that the parents scare the children with... Like I said before, christmas existed in the north before Jebus arived, its more interesting than that. Might be SATAN and SANTA is the same guy? Than later on this is divided in history and when santa show up for the first time he does this together with the goatman... Since all this is pagan folklore, not many swedes know about this things today. Most people think cristmas and santa comes in a truck saying coca cola on the side...
Anyways, I dont know if Pan is the same goat...

But it would deffenatly be a good start for a creature if we could take this further....

[Michael Jaecks]

And of course, there's Krampus, the Christmas demon, which might or might not be a permutation of the pagan goat you're talking about. Krampus is supposed to kidnap the bad children and threaten them until they promise to be good next year.

[ikuru]

Its all cool stuff nevertheless. History is full of myth and monsters....


ELF EATER, ELF EATER, ELF EATER, ELF EATER!

[zenarion]

Santa's Wish Watchers sounts so creepy. Those are the things that follow the children around for a whole year, to tell Santa if the kids were good or bad.

[mackerman]

i'm with ikuru....

elf eater elf eater elf eater

[Fozzybar]

It's on:
