Here's a list of all the fun new characters in the Stripcreator. First we start with the oft-requested Christmas artwork:

holiday/snowman1
holiday/snowman2
holiday/deer1-1
holiday/deer1-2
holiday/deer2-1
holiday/deer2-2
holiday/santa1
holiday/santa2
holiday/elf1
holiday/elf2
holiday/xmastree1
backgrounds/snowscape1

And then we have the non-Christmas artwork:

forumusers/crabby1
forumusers/crabby2
forumusers/matthew1
forumusers/matthew2
dexx/clappy1
dexx/clappy2
dexx/demon1-1
dexx/demon1-2
dexx/demon2-1
dexx/demon2-2
backgrounds/blue
backgrounds/green
backgrounds/grey
backgrounds/red
backgrounds/yellow

All have been lovingly crafted by your hero DexX except for the snowman which was lovingly crafted by someone whose e-mail I lost in a computer switch and I can't remember the name of. So he should post here so you can lavish him with praise and so on. Merry Christmas.

kramer_vs_kramer November 27, 2001 8:01 AM	Great art, but what is this aversion some people have to calling Christmas Christmas? To me, "holiday" is a day off work, and "holidays" is going away for the summer.

To me, "holiday" is a day off work, and "holidays" is going away for the summer. I've got no issue with the word "Christmas" but I may want to add an Easter Bunny or something and I'd rather not have to make a whole separate category.

evil_d November 27, 2001 9:15 AM	44407 I think it was fuzzyman who did the snowman.

DexX November 27, 2001 9:22 AM	Brad forgot to mention another new character, also in the "dexx" category - Clappy!

Brad November 27, 2001 10:11 AM	I edited my message and added clappy so you'd look crazy, DexX.

The tree and most other trimmings you call Christmas actually belong to the holiday I celebrate, the Solstice. Jesus was born some time in the spring, but they moved the celebration to the winter solstice in order to use the symbols.

When you add in Hanukah and Kwanza and so on, you can see how "holiday" just makes life easier. But if you want we can all refer to it as the Solstice.

fuzzyman November 27, 2001 12:32 PM	(singing) It's beginning to look a lot like Kwanzaa... everywhere you go...

crabby November 27, 2001 8:24 PM	Where's the black Santa?

JrnymnNate November 27, 2001 8:45 PM	yeah! I didn't realize that...

DexX November 28, 2001 4:27 AM	I was going to do an evil Santa, but my creative juices dried up.

KajunFirefly December 1, 2001 4:54 PM	I'm definitely down with a black Santa, like, with a huge afro! And Mystery Science Theatre 3000 characters!!!

Two reasons why I won't be doing these:

1) I have never seen the show, and know of it only by reputation.

2) If you use the silhouettes as characters... what is there for them to comment on? A background with no characters on it, that's what.

Of course, I have no art monopoly on this site - anyone else who cares to give it a go is welcome to.

I went ahead and did them myself.

I've never seen the show either, so I figured we could use stripcreator characters instead. I used Tobor and Dr. Pedantic because they have fairly distinctive "voices" so that you can make them talk even though the speech balloon arrow doesn't point to them. And Diablo, well, I just associate him with bad movies now. ;)

I haven't sent them off to Brad yet, because I wanted some input on them first. So gimme!

andydougan December 2, 2001 12:59 PM	Very good. But is that two characters or one? That is to say, do they take up half the panel horizontally or the whole thing?
Post #30095	link

skagg December 2, 2001 1:09 PM	2 bits

BigEvilDan December 2, 2001 1:47 PM	quote: Very good. But is that two characters or one? That is to say, do they take up half the panel horizontally or the whole thing? The three seats take the place of a single character (half a panel). I made the empty-seat piece so that you can fill up a whole panel if you want, or put in another character who would be "in the movie" instead.

fuzzyman December 2, 2001 1:50 PM	Hmmm. I guess the only problem is that we wouldn't know which of the 3 characters are talking.

BigEvilDan December 2, 2001 7:36 PM	quote: Hmmm. I guess the only problem is that we wouldn't know which of the 3 characters are talking. That's why I chose one character who would be limited to using the word "cornhole" in all caps. ;) And on an unrelated note, I found this on my hard drive: It's an altered pose of somebody else's character (can't remember who it was). What ever happened to this guy?

DexX December 3, 2001 6:07 AM	think that's Gabe's, but I am not sure. Whoever did that did a policeman in the same style. WANT!

skagg December 3, 2001 10:09 AM	send that to brad now!

NastyPope December 4, 2001 9:12 AM	sniff no updated Tobor?

gabe_billings December 9, 2001 5:35 PM	You mean this guy? I've already sent him twice. I assumed he wasn't wanted and gave up. For your amusement, visit here to see some of the other stuff, along with the dorky .mp3's I made when Brad asked for stuff with his name in it.

crabby December 9, 2001 7:56 PM	All of that art rocks! I would use that stuff all the time.

Jael December 9, 2001 10:26 PM	Since we're on the subject of art....DexX..please please please, could you fix that whole "Jael's hand is stuck in her hair thing" when you get a chance. I'm being relegated to moronic bimbette usage. Of course it could be worse...I know... But I'd just respect you oodles and bunches if ya could ;))
Post #31443	link

DexX December 10, 2001 6:06 AM	I have already fixed the broken hand, with the thumb on the wrong side (I don't think Brad has swapped it over yet) but... well, I can't really change the pose substantially without a complete redraw. :(
Post #31463	link

andydougan December 10, 2001 11:15 AM	A lot of strips' humour may depend on Jael's hand being buggered and in her hair. If the art is changed, those strips will make no sense!
Post #31520	link

DexX December 10, 2001 8:08 PM	I have only noticed a couple of gags about the buggered hand, but quite a lot that depend on the hand in the hair, so...

Bazilla January 18, 2002 8:33 AM	I know this is a late post, but I would really like all of them esp. the policeman and the pointing rabbit.

Clappy January 18, 2002 3:36 PM	It looks like you're trying to get art that nobody's wanted since before this thread died out! How may I help?
Post #39492	link

Brad January 21, 2002 4:34 AM	If Gabe's still reading this thread, he should send this stuff to me again. I "plum forgot about it", as they say.

BigEvilDan February 10, 2002 6:44 PM	I only got around to sending them to Brad a few days ago. I don't what he did with them.

KajunFirefly February 10, 2002 6:57 PM	They are awesome, I love MST3K, I would honestly use those characters all the time and I'd probably include them in some rule in a CC, if I ever win another one. You can argue that they don't follow the same rules as the other characters, but that's what makes them good, it'd be up to the comic making skills of the strippers to break the normal boundaries and make them work.
