Tempmas 2015 Starts Here!

Akira · Dec 24, 2015

Here is my entry:

It's a christmas village decoration. Christmas Tempy and the gifts was made with clay, the house with popsicle sticks and colored using water color. The "trees" are made by creating a template and printing it, then cutting it and pasting it together. The background is a styrofoam painted using watercolors again.

Here is the creative process:

Okay, so here is my entry.

I'm not very talented and it's not as great and spectacular as most of yours. Small handmade thing, that anyone can make at home. I made it by myself from the very beggining to the end and i'm proud of it.

I will hang it up on my christmas tree.

Here we go then...

Code name: Christmas TempCube

I. Intro - all the stuff that i used.

Primary stuff:

Secondary Stuff:

II. Let's get to work...

The first part is just drawing:

...and cutting

Next part - some simple sketches... Well not very simple for me in this "micro scale"

After that is time to add some colors

...few hours later:

And it's almost done... Now just make a little hook from paper clip, put in into the center of upper square (it's good to use a piece of insulating tape, it's much stronger than paper itself), and glue the whole cube.

III. Final results.

Unfortunately i don't have a camera. Photos from my cell phone are really bad, but i hope it's clear enough to see that every square has different colour - red, blue, green and yellow - like SNES action buttons.

IV. Outro.

Christmas TempCube is multifunctional - you can make it just like i did and hang it up on the christmas tree. You can make it also without the hook and use double-sided adhesive tape instead of insulating tape. Then just stick the bow or something like that to it and it will be a great box for small christmas gift to someone you love.

And that's all. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm done! Photos up in a little bit once I've uploaded them all to my computer :3

P.S I wrote a little story too because I'm silly like that.

p1ngpong · Dec 24, 2015

Not many entries submitted with just over six hours to go. If anyone has a few hours to spare and is in any way creative you might want to jump on this, you never know you could end up winning a 3DS for just an afternoons work!

WhiteMaze · Dec 24, 2015

My entry should be ready within a few hours

Good luck everyone!

And MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Evening all. Hope you enjoy! Few bits went skewiff but I hope you enjoy my little story, photos, and decorations for my little Christmas tree at home!

Click the Spoiler link below to view my entry! :3

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house.
Three little ladies tummies were stirring, scaring even the pet mouse.
Master we are hungry! Please make us something good!
They kept pleading and pleading, so decided I should.

Hmm let me think, I should be making Homebrew apps…
But would ladies like cookies? With choc chips perhaps…?
So we got the ingredients, and popped them in a bowl.
And stirred so hard, that it really took its toll.

We got out a tray, popped baking paper on it
Then rolled out the dough into shapes we saw fit!
Into the oven, the cookies they went
It was then we waited… about 15 minutes spent.

Time to decorate, one lady was hyped!
Details on the cookies, we then decided to pipe.
The final outcome was glorious, the cookies looked great.
But first we must take photos, then after we ate!

Now photos were done, we sent to our friends.
To see what they thought of our awesome amends.
We wish you a Merry Tempmas, to all on GBAtemp!
Have a wonderful day, and a Happy New Year! (emp)

Well, here is my entry after so many ideas (most of which was going way overboard). My work had a bunch of old computer parts and cables, and that's where I got the idea for this.

Entire process:

http://imgur.com/a/qunAn

Step-by-step:

Started with 4 computer power cables to make the base of the wreath, and the various controllers/devices I wanted to add

http://imgur.com/sMpiYz8
http://imgur.com/0u8mV9M

Began forming the wreath, but it did not want to stay.

http://imgur.com/Ipld2AB
http://imgur.com/xoAu12Z

Forgot to take a picture of me adding the controllers on (which at this point I realized that there were too many, so I removed the bulky N64 controller.
Felt I needed a bit more meat on the wreath, so I found another computer power cable and a monitor cable.

http://imgur.com/xoAu12Z

Had it almost ready, but realized that I had an extra set of colored lights that would really make this.

http://imgur.com/YsZ32bY

One problem.......Have you ever tried to wrap christmas lights around something as small as this?!?

http://imgur.com/SMrOIoi
http://imgur.com/tWSXU8G

Almost done with the lights (took much longer than the cables)

http://imgur.com/dT1LctM

Whoops! Forgot the SNES controller!

http://imgur.com/vtxp301

Figured I needed something to display with it to show Tempmas, so good ol' MSPaint was there to assist. Too bad my printer decided it did not want to assist properly.....

Now for the final touch. My very first GBA to hang on the wreath. Found a long tie-strap, used the battery casing to hold it, and tie it to the wreath

And voila! Finito! It is done!

Finally it's finished. I haven't slept in days. O_O It's the Tempy Tree-Topper!

I like how it looks in the dark. Has a super-villain vibe to it:

I can't catch it on camera, but the screens on the mini-New 3DS glow in the dark. :/ Wish I could get a pic of it.

Everything was made from Sculpey (an oven-baked clay) and some foil.

Scrunch up some foil into shapes that vaguely resemble what I want to make.

Add clay. I also put some beading wire in the limbs for support. Should've done that at the beginning but I derped and forgot wire existed. It's been years since I last sculpted. >_>

So that's what he looks like naked. The body here has been baked, but the head is still malleable.

The clothes are about to be baked.

Pretty much done sculpting him at this point. I didn't have enough time to sand everything, so the final ended up looking rough after being painted.

And lastly the text, about to be baked along with Tempy on his expanded base (I wanted him to be able to stand without support from a tree stem).

Painting has begun. The primer gets lumpy in places, especially since I didn't sand anything. The primer can be sanded too, but it takes a lot of time I didn't have.

Almost done! Just need to paint that base so it blends in with the tree, plus my name tag and the mini-3DS.

Almost 3 hours later the painting is finally done and dry enough for some finish. I think I was "charging" the mini-New 3DS when this picture was taken, so it was in a window sill. It's not permanently fixed to Tempy's hand, I use unbaked clay to stick it in place.

I don't even wanna think about how many hours I spent on it. -_-; It's fun sculpting up until I get to the part where I have to paint it. Then I remember what a huge pain in the ass it is to paint a complex 3D object.

Well, at least it was worth the effort. It's a pretty cool physical manifestation of Tempy, IMO. Given more time I would've sanded out any flaws and improved on some details like clothes folds and wrinkles. I originally had this idea in mind of Tempy as the tree topper, plus a few small ornaments of game characters like Link or whatever, but I quickly realized that wasn't gonna happen in such a short time frame. :/

Awesome works everyone. By the way, where can you find the gbatemp mascot logo? I'd like to use that too.

You have two hours before the competition finishes.

Finally!!

I'm not picking up my drawing tablet for the next 2 weeks. So much work on this, especially the inking and painting on Photoshop

Everything in my entry is made by me, from the character drawings and paintings, to the crappy cutout letters!

The characters are all too familiar to us. This features Mario, Pikachu, Sonic, Master Chief, Solid Snake, Cloud Strife, Ness and Toad! This was inspired by the Super Smash Bros idea, and I've been meaning to do something like this for years now. I also threw in my very own version of Tempy, the mighty overseer!

You should really zoom in, in order to see the full details of the characters and the whole Tempmas postcard design thing.

Anyways I hope you guys like it:

I'm also leaving a link to the ACTUAL maximum quality JPEG I drew:
