What are you making?

[unknown_user]

I've recalled how some time ago I've presented the "SEGMENTATION FAULT" as a gift to my boyfriend.
In fact, it was the executable program with only the two functions:

• When it started, it showed the greeting card with some greetings on the holiday background and the big button "receive the surprise gift"
• When the user clicked on the button, the program crashed with "SEGMENTATION FAULT", because it was exactly the gift.

It was the fail, cause he launched the program from graphic interface, and it just closed after clicking a button without an error message. I've forgot that by default this error message is shown to user only if the program is started from the console, so it can be read from this console.
So I've said "NO! Launch this program from the CONSOLE to see the main gift message in it", and at this moment he already guessed what the "gift" is cause he was already accustomed to my pranks

I have no idea what to gift this New Year, so I'll maybe track this thread for ideas. ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕤ
P.S. It have been revealed that he prefers more useful gifts

I don't celebrate Christmas nor New Year, but good food is always a gift everyday

Also I did draw a chibi shirtless santa Thor to please my friend's gay ass, he said he will try to make it into keychain. It's not meant to be a Christmas gift, though.

Well, i don't preparing anything actually. Except backpack full of booze for myself to make my night streets wandering more exciting and fun if there is won't be anybody to hang up together at the new year And if there will be, then my backpack be great addition to others' storage

I made a an arrow and target keychain for a friend on mine who loves archery and I'm planning on drawing something up for another one. Also going to get my mother a nice scarf.

I'm making a stuffed animal of my friend's character. it doesn't look..... presentable.. yet, so I won't upload a picture until later

[Luminosophy]

Last year I sent my Canadian art friend a portrait of her character + handmade knitted donuts by another artist. This year my partner and I are cooking breakfast and dinner for his family, and I'm making a little picture of his sister's dog.

[Kittosaurus]

I always make specialized cards for my family and close friends, and I do what has been coined "monster wrapping" where I turn each present into a monster / creature. (It started as a way to disguise my horrible wrapping skills).

[Rodimus13]

That's it! Its official! I lost my mind!

[simplykit]

im currently working on an fantasy gaming comic

hope it stands up to tapas level

[yozhikisblue]

I'm somewhat creatively burnt out towards the end of this year, so all the energy I've got for artsy gifts will be going to drawing the line-up of my partner's characters, from stories and posts on a roleplay forum he frequents. It's by no means a surprise- I know he's very excited about it x') (which makes me happy too, if a little performance anxious)

Other than that, I've been trying to find small, reusable environmentally conscious things to give people. If I can't make them, I aim for things by other artists/crafters. Novelty teas in decorative tin boxes you can keep. Colourful sculpted soaps. Basically small, inexpensive, but chosen with a friend's particular quirks in mind.

Normally I really don't like shopping for things. But I love giving gifts, so it balances out xD

[Fierce_Chai]

I'm making a calendar for a friend which includes paintings and fanarts of his novel characters for each month, I hope I'll look good when it's finished

[Rodimus13]

Niiiiice! That sounds super fun! You gonna sneak in any jokes?

[Fierce_Chai]

Absolutely, lots of jokes and memes will be included as well

[Rhonder]

Pushed this off to the last minute (the gift exchange with my friends is tonight xD) but here's a WIP of the gift I described earlier:

This pic is so silly, having a blast drawing it xD Hope he likes it as well. Onto coloring! First time using my markers in... months haha

[Rodimus13]

So cool! I love it!

[Rhonder]

And the finale! Purples the Chinchilla

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I made a design on a coffee mug for my wife of our dog, he's a weirdo with a strong personality but he's been a faithful companion for the last 7 years of our marriage

[StorySeamstress]

I used to make SO many of my gifts when I was a teenager with little sisters who loved doll clothes, but nowadays I don't make so many gifts...although I did design a coffee mug for my brother-in-law, and I'm giving a bunch of my Austenite friends/sisters journals I designed with Jane Austen quotes on the cover. Every year I remember--too late!--that I want to do illustrated calendars or design custom tea towels or something. There's always next year, right?

[Im_moron]

I cant say I'm "making" it, but so to say, I finished making it :U

Doomed one(s) | Tapas
