But as per my halloween cartoon I need to come up with something with an original idea that fits the normal A5.1 humour pattern.
So what have we got to work with:-
- Elves (that's a possible, they look like small vulcans)
- Gifts (well it'd be rude not to)
- Stockings
- Christmas tree (I always like the idea of showing something identifiable from a distance and then on closer inspection it's something unexpected, so that's a possible)
- Santa (seems a little too obvious, but maybe he has to be there even if a cameo)
- Typical celebration foods and drinks. (turkey or brussle sprouts anyone?)
OK so there's lots of possibles, are you with me on this Shiela?
Challenge accepted! I did have what I thought was a great idea this time last year, but no-one that I showed it to got it. Looking back it wasn't such a great idea as I thought. At least it's a low baseline to improve on.
ReplyDeleteYou've mentioned santa and some of the secular stuff. You've tackled creation already - why not look at Christmas from the point of view of a twee story of Zambo sending a representative to the LGMs planet, and his followers hijacking an existing festival?
It feels like it needs something grandiose, and there's nuggets of ideas floating about. Perhaps even a series spread across a number of days, but that could be too much work.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I could spread it over advent. A zambo follow on might be good, perhaps explaining his origin.
Have a new tablet and drawing again....and my first new one is a heartwarming Christmas cartoon. http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_Silence_of_the_Zap/
