[elixiadragmire]

[aspiderjonny]

@elixiadragmire Thank You!

And good job with your WinterFest part.

[Nerual]

Hello, I'd like to take part with a N.A.T. booth!

(I haven't seen about the deadline change, I thought it was still on the 25th Oo. Unfortunately I couldn't color it on time, I'll be able to do it later though (like, after Christmas.)

Well actually it's more a double booth! These two new friends (?) wanted to come together to Tapastic Winter Fest.

On the left side, Jill offers plants from planet Novalennda. Those aren't for sale, however you may get one through barter. Trading living beings for money is very badly regarded by Novalians (this isn't valid for fruits and vegetables though). That's why most of the time, plants and animals are swapped for something else.

On the right side of the booth, Kaïla is selling models of spaceships from her people, the Azrilians. By purchasing one, you might take part in the funding of an invasion army, but maybe that's only rumors...

That's all for now! Thanks for creating this topic \o/. All the entries (here and in main episodes of the Fest) are so great!

If you submit one I'll do my best to include it X3

Hello, I'd like to take part with a N.A.T. booth!

@Nerual Ah! So COOL! <3

Yeah, I'm so sorry we didn't think of opening this thread sooner. We just didn't know!... WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW! :shakes fist to the sky: that the Winter Fest would go over so well. In fact many times, we were thinking to ourselves, "I sure hope this takes off and doesn't flop" ^_^;

What's the strangest plant Jill has of their side of the stand and what's Kaïla favorite spaceship model on their side?

Is there a crazy story to how they ended up at the Winter Fest?

And tell us about your comic series <3

[Maffi]

Took me forever but i hope i made it on time!
(most likely have to click on this to view it cuz its a gif file)

[legendriders96]

Gah! Hope we made it in time. This is The Mini Place booth. The Place is a sweets and coffee shop in Terveru, the fictional land where Legend Riders is taking place. Inside the booth, Alex, Kassie and Vera, three or the protagonists of the series are voluntreering to help The Place sell some hot drinks and cakes because it's their favourite cafe and they like doing stuff like that. Ok Alex just likes eating macaroons, but Vera is an excellent cook and Kassie is good with public relations 8'D. Also presenting, the Buttercup Puffs, a special round cake with filling <3 People can try it for free~ More about the Legend Riders series here: http://tapastic.com/series/LR_LoL
The Place appears much later in the story but it's already a cool place to have coffee for some of the characters~ The show is still in the beginning so can't reveal much info about the world, just that it's set in the current times, in a place called Terveru, as previously mentioned and it revolves around an ancient civilization, the Lennay as well as Heaven and Hell.

Merry Christmas everyone~

Would I still be in time if I upload something in about 3 hours?

[whydocowsfall]

This is awesome, I can't believe I only just saw it! I got so excited when I saw Polyphemus in the background, you've totally made my day! :DD

[PotooGryphon]

Go for it, I'll do my best to include it.

[miesmud]

I made a booth with my character Cotton from my comic: Cotton
He's selling dolls, but it's not going well since he isn't very good at marketing, and he's a bit shy... His booth is called the "Red Cliff dolls" (but he wrote it too big so it didn't fit)

(btw, I'm a bit amazed by my guessing skills, it's 3 hours later now haha)

[PotooGryphon]

AW! I'd buy a doll from Cotton <3
Ah! I see a Tapastic doll and a Sigma and Rho doll <3 So adorable! @kurisquare Postcard in Braille dolls would be so cute! :dies: lol

Questions for @Maffi, @legendriders96, and @miesmud

What's your character(s) crazy backstory for ending up at the Winter fest multidimensional hubworld? How did they get from their own comic series to this strange place?

What's the strangest item for sale at their booth or for Maffi strangest gift in your sleigh?

And Tell us all about your comic series (if you haven't done so already)

[miesmud]

YES!! Postcards In Braille was one of the first webcomics I started following! I love Rho so much ahaha

Why cotton is there:

Cotton is very rich, but he hates throwing out things or giving them away for free. Since his house keeps getting fuller with those dolls and he doesn't have a place to store them anymore, he decided to sell them somewhere where a lot of people are. Little did he know that most people here don't carry that much money on them... Now he's just freezing, feeling lonely and missing his cat.

Cotton's story:
Meet Cotton, a 14 year old boy with a strange doll obsession.
After his parents got slaughtered before his own eyes, he was left alone with the butler (who doesn’t seem to have a head). He became the last living member of the wealthy Radcliff family. Having to keep their family business going.
Follow the story of this young boy and his butler and find out about his secret.

Strangest item for sale:
Well all dolls are actually dead people, except the one he is holding.(but that is his doll, I wouldn't touch it if I were you!) I guess that would make all items a bit strange right? (and ofcourse the rho and sigma dolls are just look a likes! )

Idk, it's not really a summary, it's more like a teaser, I hope that's good too?

[kurisquare]

YES!! Postcards In Braille was one of the first webcomics I started following! I love Rho so much ahaha

AAAAA thank you so much!! the dolls are so cute ; v ; (and I seriously want to make Postcards doll at some point, or commission someone who knows more about dolls than I do)

Well all dolls are actually dead people, except the one he is holding.(

oh comPOSER WHAT DID YOU DO

(and ofcourse the rho and sigma dolls are just look a likes! )

oh!!!!!

Happy holidays @miesmud! (and to everyone else, really) Cotton looks super cute and his story sounds interesting, I'll have to take a look at your comic later

[miesmud]

SENPAI NOTICED ME!

If there were PIB dolls I'd buy them so hard haha
I love postcards in braille so much, I still want to do some fanart of it sometime but, IDK MAN what is art skill and time? dies

You too! And thank you omg!

[Maffi]

How did Maffi and Dex get there?
Maffi and Dex are both scientist and like to spice things up. They decide that giving gifts is a lot more fun than receiving them. So they build a ion powered sled with Mr.Jon in front acting as a reindeer and go fly around giving people gifts!

Their story
Dex and Maffi are two guys that are on a way to science convention. While traveling there on a spaceship Maffi's space turtle cat called Mr.Jon accidentally activates escape pod sequence sending all of them down towards the nearest planet. Little do Mafffi and Dex know that they stay on the planet will get pretty intersecting while they struggle to survive.
To find more about their adventure just follow this link http://tapastic.com/series/Descending-from-space

Strangest item in they have got in a present.
Cap that has the power to turn anybody into a bunny and can only be taken off when the wearer says these maaaaaagical words: "I'm gonna be the prettiest fairy bunny princess in the world!
(this is an actual thing i had in on of my comic :PPP )

Tell us about the comic
I actually got 3 main comics with the same characters.
Descending from space which tells a story of Maffi and Dex stuck on a planet.
Mr.Jon's mind which is a comic that is about Maffi's space turtle cat and the world around him from his point of view.
Wrong universe which happens after descending from space and is about Maffi and Dex visiting other comics
Then i got some side comics you can check out as well.
P.s Happy holidays ^^

[legendriders96]

First of all, thank you for including us o3o~ And now for asnwers!

-What's your character(s) crazy backstory for ending up at the Winter fest multidimensional hubworld? How did they get from their own comic series to this strange place?

Well, our characters can't normally travel through dimensions for the simple reason that they don't know they exist (except Alex, he knows a lot of stuff because angel XD). However, there's this tricky little witch, Ivory. She finds teasing and pranking our bunch all too amusing. So, this time she cooked up a spell that targets the subconscious, meaning dreams. Ivory is harlmess, she just wants to make a prank, so she picks the aforementioned characrers' brains while they sleep and finds The Place. Her spell allows her to send the three characters in some sort of Dreamsphere, and they end up in the Winter Fest since this is Ivory's idea of a Holiday Prank. So, Alex, Kassie and Vera find themselves behind the counter of a micrography of their favourite cafe, the latter making cakes and sweets (cooking is her expertise), Kassie selling stuff and being generally friendly and Alex... eating stuff and playing Pokemon XD. They don't really know how they ended up but they play along since it's just a dream. Or at least so they think 8'D. Plus, they kinda like owning a cafe.

-What's the strangest item for sale at their booth?

No strange items, just regular sweets and coffee. Although no one's sure what's in the Buttercup Puffs, since they've still not been invented in the regular LR universe~ All sold in reasonable prices in... Terveru currency which probably no one recognises >_>; At least we have free food XD

[noxfox]

This is so cute! I have a feeling that Sev could quite get along with Soot from Singmire Haze, under the "shapeshifters with issues" umbrella! xD

[aspiderjonny]

Wow. Everyone who participated has brought something unique and interesting to the WinterFest. Just wanted to say: Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[efdvorsky]

me: oh my gosh YES people are making more stri---BELLS AHH! <3

Also this comic is adorable except the concerning (yet hilarious) part of the blaster.

This whole thread is a gift
