Description I saw this piece earlier today when * rancidpencil uploaded it, and I knew I had to vector it. So here it is. About 5 or so hours with a mouse in Photoshop CS.

According to our lovely *rancidpencil , she loathes ginger bread. So, you won't see me inviting her to a bakery around Christmas.

Nothing too amazingly amazing about this one, but at least it's Christmasy. I'll be having another piece out pretty soon as well, also just in time for Christmas. Though, it won't have a fancy holiday theme.

Somebody complained about the length of my descriptions, so I'll just end with yet another story:

Sports Coach
Sampson wasn't exactly the most skilled man, but he did take a few courses at the community college over the years (living with his parents on the living room sofa.) However, Sampson woke up one day and realized what he had done with his life: nothing. Well, one time he did fix a sandwich for himself, if that counts.

Sampson thought long and hard about what he should do with his life. He recounted all of those courses he took at the college and compiled of possible lists. First, he had taken Janitorial Arts. Next, he took basket making. After that, he got a degree in metaphysical theoretical sciences at a leading university -- but he lost it when he lit the degree on fire when it was chilly outside. Finally, he took a class in shrubbery art. After careful consideration of the classes he took, he decided his goal. He would become to world's best sports coach in the world.

Right off the bat, Sampson called up the Cleveland Browns, a leading American football team which everyone likes because of their amazing talents. The Browns were so interested in Sampson that they signed him on immediately because his qualifications were so much better than their current coach. When he first took up the position later that month, he was greeted warmly and the Browns went on to win one game aganist the local junior high football team and losing every actual NFL game. This shocking victory ensured Sampson of being the best coach the Browns ever had.

And so Sampson continued his skills day in and day out, helping to coach some of the most eventful seasons in history, including the 2003 Detroit Tigers.

Is it me, or is the "BUHAHAHAHA" missing an "A" after the "U"? XD *Hit*

Or maybe I'm being too picky.. or maybe the guy just has a distinct laugh. Either way, this is wonderful! I love how Rancid did such a fiendish expression as the kid is about to crush the Gingerbread house "XDDD" I never really liked them so much myself.. I can definitely tolerate and eat them, but they're not a Christmas-looking-forward-to thing. Talk about long hair, though XD And the folds of the clothes are wonderfuuuuullll.

One error I noticed, though.. you failed to color in the guy's hair between the arms and the face. The yellow there is the yellow in the background.. so unless the guy has magical highlights in the back that matches anything that's behind him.. XD Or if it's a cape. The latter is a much better excuse. What a HAIRY cape, though! *Punched in the face*

And what a cool story XD So dreams DO come true ";_;" Then maybe I should pursue being a cartoonist instead of a bloody teacher. *Whine whine wave fist etc* Or maybe not XD But gawd, that would be a spectacular thing to reach.

Dude, I did that! But I love gingerbread. But after the house has been sitting around for a few months, it's only good for dog chow. So my sisters and I took it outside and put it on the ground and filming our dog, proceeded to be annoyed that she wouldn't touch it. So I smashed it. It was awesome.

...

Then my dog ate it.

So, for the memories and the awesome-ness that is gingerbread violence.

I love the words, but that's more of a complement for rancid. The colors work very well, more muted tones than I usually use. A frilly, squiggily border might look good, though.
