Merry Christmas / happy summer or winter solstice / whatever you celebrate!

Here is my card for this year: Vila and Avon eat Christmas-tree-shaped ice cream. With added glitter!

And to you!

I love it! Merry Christmas to you too :-)

Thank you!

Mixing up the ice creams was Vila's idea, and Avon didn't mind that most of them were his. The green is peppermint, with chocolate chips too small to see here, and the others are various flavours Vila added to the outside.

I declare this a good idea. :-D

I haven't got the freezer storage for lots of ice creams, or I might give it a go!

[identity profile] emerald-happy.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I vote we turn Orac into a mini-freezer. Vila has to carry him anyway so there might as well be ice cream :-)

That's what he's got his red chilli-bin for! Well, that ans chilled drinks. ;-)

Ahahhahahaha, that is so cute. I love Avon's lashes and sweet little smile.

What fun. :D Happy Everything to you too. :D

Thank you! :-D I had to delete my first attempt, which was more lifelike but lacking in something--life, actually--and tonight I decided to go the cartoon route which worked, to my relief.

I hope your cold is better and you can enjoy the festive goodies. I scoffed Italian walnut biscuits and Russian fudge today.

[identity profile] vandonovan.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Awww~!! I'd've never DELETED it. I might not have used it but I so rarely delete art. I have many unfinished pieces, ehehehe. This is really adorable though, and now you've sort of inspired me to try to draw a little something for the holidays, even if I don't mail it out. Avon and Vila hanging with some of the Python boys sounds acceptable, right? After all, they hung with Ned and Chuck last year . . . ahahha.

My cold is still lingering, but down to just a little cough, so nothing bad. Your food sounds lovely~ We had some amazing chocolate cake as dessert after the jamabalaya. Very tasty--once I picked off the walnuts.

I've often deleted stuff I don't like. Sometimes it's just not salvageable. I do have borderline stuff no one else has seen though.

I have a new program called Artrage which simulates pastels, acrylics, and oils etc beautifully. I used that to add the glitter, but I really need to experiment with it properly. I'd love to have the more expensive version which has watercolours and a water-blendy tool. I may upgrade one day.

Yes! Vila and Avon would get on very well with the Python boys. Vila would love their humour, and Avon might be inspired to a little cross-dressing.

ROFL!! "I never wanted to be a technician anyway! I wanted to be . . . a lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree!" and crossdressing, naturally. Ahahah. I definitely think Vila would love them. He'd especially appreciate that they take the piss out of the upper and lower classes equally.

Yay for new programs. I haven't done much digital art recently due to my broken tablet and bum right wrist. My hand has been doing VERY well though since I switched the mouse to my left. I think it's helping immensely. It doesn't hurt at all right now, which is another incentive to draw.

I suppose I have deleted some art before. Depends on how far along I've gotten on it. If I've put quite a bit of time into I'll keep it even if it's terrible.

Avon:

I'm a computer tech and I'm all right.
I work all day and I work all night.

I program Zen. I eat my lunch.
I am bitingly witty.
And with my other hand
I'll make a gadget before tea.

Vila:

I'm a lock picker and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I nap all day.

I crack safes. I drink my lunch.
I feel all at sea.
And I'm always hoping
for some security.

Avon:

I'm a computer tech and I'm all right.
I work all day and I play all night.

I wear thigh boots with big high heels,
and underneath, black lace.
I always wears a girdle,
and like to paint my face.

Vila:

He's a computer tech and he's all right.
He snarks all day and he snarks all night.

He shoots big guns, minces and smirks,
and rolls in yellow flowers.
He wears kinky leather
And mirror-poses for hours.


Good night!

*dying* AHAHAHAHA. Brilliant, just brilliant. And what an image to go to bed on!!! Goodnight!!!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[grin] Glad you liked it! But I thought after I went to bed, I should have said Vila was a master thief. It scans correctly. :-P

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
How could I resist? :-D

[identity profile] bigdamnxenafan.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Frelling briliant! I laughed so hard my sides ache(in a good way). I love the way your mind works! *hugs*

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[sniggers] Thanks! Avon suits it! [hugs to you too]

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Bwahahahaha! Perfect. :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
And you even have a Python icon!

Avon knocks on Blake's door. "I've come for an argument..."

[identity profile] astrogirl2.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, yes, I thought that was probably my single most apt use of that icon. :)

[identity profile] miss-next.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
That is adorable! Vila looks so happy, and even Avon seems to be allowing himself to have some fun for once. :-D

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! They still had fun in the first two seasons. And Avon does like his ice cream. :-)

[identity profile] pet-lunatic.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! That's so cute :D Happy holidays :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
And to you! :-D

[identity profile] snowgrouse.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love how calm and relaxed Vila seems! That's definitely something, especially in the presence of Avon, because you know trouble might be in store:).

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Avon's all right if he has ice cream. ;-)

Squee! Aw, that's lovely. And happy Christmas to you too! :D

Awwww, Christmas Mickey, saviour of the universe!

[identity profile] entropy-house.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Happy Everything! You can never go wrong with ice cream. :^)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Avon agrees!

[identity profile] wolfma.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww, Christmas tree ice cream! Happy Everything!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

It's peppermint with small scoops of other flavours added to the outside. :-)

[identity profile] vjezkova.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, they are cuuute! I love big noses, you know, and that slightly nostalgic Avon´s expression and Vila´s happy smile!
As the others say, Happy Everything!!!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
I love big noses too! His adds to Avon's looks. Vila's is rather nice too, very straight.

When do you celebrate? Christmas eve like the Germans?

[identity profile] vjezkova.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I have a big nose myself:-)
Yes, we celebrate Christmas Eve, both our cultures have the common roots, however I myself just love the old traditions, I am not a Christian, I do believe but in my own way, quite Pagan-like ...

[identity profile] bigdamnxenafan.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful and festive holiday season. *hugs*

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
And you too, and all your household!

They had to have some happy times!

Thanks!

Happy holidays to you, too! Lovely card and Christmas tree shaped ice cream sounds like fun! :o)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! It's peppermint with little scoops of other flavours. :-)

I like your icon!

[identity profile] pinkdormouse.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Very cute!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[identity profile] imhilien.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nicely done! :D Avon is probably trying to ignore the glitter. LOL.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's because he knows Vila put it up and doesn't want to rise to the bait. ;-)

What's your icon from? SGU? DW? Farscape? I'm trying to place it.

[identity profile] imhilien.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. :) I got the icon from Farscape. :)

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
I wondered if that was Aeryn!

[identity profile] daiseechain.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that's wonderful!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

Happy everything!

[identity profile] reapermum.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's lovely, Vila looks so relaxed and young.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He was at the start! :-)
