Artwork by Threeboy http://www.threeboy.net/

I did say a rough design ;) by garsands aged 29 !!!

A text description of the theme was sent to Threeboy.

Starting left to right of the cartoon.

A Christmas sledge, using the sites name "Online gaminglinks.info" as main body
On top of the sledge there are some colorful (boxes) presents.
There are skis on the bottom of the sledge.

Next is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
He is standing up on his back legs, with his hands in the air above his head. He is side on and facing right.
He has a red nose. His face is looking to the right, he's not happy.
Attached to Rudolph are some rains or rope , the other end is attached to the sledge (how is up to you) the rope is slack so there is some loose on the ground.

Next is the big man him self Father Christmas.
He is standing up, with his hands in the air above his head, He is side on and facing right.
His face is looking at us, (maybe with his mouthand his eyes wide) as his not happy.

Next is the Terrorist
He is side on facing left, pointing a gun at Rudolph & Father Christmas.
His face is looking to the left. ( or he is looking at us grining, what ever you think looks best )

Misc Graphic Work, any thing else you think needs to be added to bring the Cartoon together and to life.

The scene that I am trying to create is a nice bright and vibrant Cartoon of Father Christmas and Rudolph, getting robed by a armed Terrorist who wants to steal there presents.

Threeboy gets back to me with some rough sketch's and a quick mock up of the design.

I make a few design changes to the text in the sledge.

Threeboy comes up with the idea of making this logo into a desktop computer wallpaper format, so I tell him to go for it.

Monday, October 07, 2002
Threeboy sends me a layout of the logo to give a idea of the size & placement. Had to drop the text in the sledge as it would not fit, to small to read.

Threeboy sends me the first rough computer wallpaper layout & asking what background I would like used mountains, snow, rooftops, a city, etc.

I send Threeboy the image below to give him a idea of what I am looking for in the background, and added text in sledge.

Threeboy tells me that the text will not fit in the sledge as planned as it may not be that readable :(
But sends me the computer wallpaper layout with the background added & and what a piece of art it is :)

Mailed Threeboy back to ask about adding some text to the computer wallpaper to make it personalized to gaminglinks.info
sending the image below.

Threeboy sends me the finished site logo, which is prefect.

Threeboy sends me the finished computer wallpaper, and is also prefect.

Thanks Threeboy
Before Threeboy started work, I had a image in my head of how I wanted the completed scene to look,
and had very high hopes of the image looking amazing. I am pleased to say it looks 10 times better then I had hoped.
The preview images Threeboy sent me had not been as sharp orl as clear as the final Wallpaper, this was to keep the file sizes down.
When I first saw the finished Wallpaper I thought OMG, as it was so bright & colorful also sharp & clear.

Until next year, but I think there's got to be a summer wallpaper first :)
