These are all the art gifts submitted for the Secret Santa (I hope). If I have made any errors, left out a drawing, copy-pasted the wrong prompt, or forgotten to include an Artist’s Note, please let me know so I can correct my mistake!

You are now free to comment on the pictures. Go ahead and give these awesome artists some love!

Oh man, this years pictures were amazing! Giskard's gift really made my jaw drop, and the one intended for Masa was a job REALLY well done if you ask me! I basically liked all of them, so thank you all for brightening my morning! :)

Ooh, some beautiful works all around! I just about died from the cute of that Sniper with a lap cat.

Ahhh all the art is so great! I love mine, they look so adorable, thanks so much to the artist!

Cyan’s Note: A little extra gift your Secret Santa just sent me, to go with their story! Please see the Secret Santa Fic Gift thread.

Prompt: Sniper/Spy, warming each other up in the cold weather.

I'm not a recipient of any of these, but wow they are all GORGEOUS. Great job, artists!

Cyan’s Note: Here is another little extra gift – due to computer issues, I couldn’t get in touch with Tobias’s Secret Santa before or after the deadline and thought I would have to ask a volunteer to help. Ariel graciously offered assistance, but fortunately the original Secret Santa came through and sent me their gift at the very last second. As it turns out, Ariel liked the prompt and wanted to draw it anyway, therefore this extra piece.

So here you go. Merry Christmas, Soldic shippers!

Author's Note: C'mere, sweetheart. Can also be found at arieldraws.tumblr.com.

Furei!! I can't believe you did my prompt, THANK YOU! I feel like I won the lotto.

>>4590 I'm -so- happy you liked it, that's my favorite part of secret santa!
super thanks to Cyan, too, for tolerating my horrible email spamming.

>>4600

I admit I was a little worried, but I'm so glad you like it!
I feel like I need to thank you, too, for giving me an excuse to draw Demoman and gratuitous tentacles.

Of course, if we're going to do this, we have to do it right. Meet you in Vegas!

>>4556
OH MY GOSH
JUST...JUST OH MY GOSH

I THINK I JUST DIED OF HAPPINESS, I was NEVER expecting something as amazing as a comic, let alone a comic as awesome as this! Soldier is so in character, it makes me blush. And Merasmus...oh Merasmus is just wonderful. Thank you, thank you thank you so much!!! <3

>>4543

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. This is beautiful and delicious and I love you so much. THANKYOU SO MUCH. I can't even contain my excitement right now. This is amazing.

This is kinda embarrassing but I haven't posted on the chan much, and I have no idea how to link back to previous posts. But I just wanted to say that I love the gift I got! It was wonderful!

>>4542

Aw dang, this is adorable.

Thanks, artist. Wish I knew who you were.

>>4552 i already said thank you on tumblr but thank you so much its so cute ahhh!!!

all of the submissions this year are beautiful great job everyone!

>> 4553

YES PERFECT fun with engineering. What are you doing, Engie, Medic is more interesting than blueprints. I love all the little details, specifically:

- red ink annotations on blueprints
- little hearts! from MEDIC
- Engie's expression
- coffee cup because when you have 11 hard science PhDs you probably developed an addiction early on in undergrad
- mini sentry (I think) on desk
- bullet point lists because engineers don't have time for full sentences
- stripped wire and nail on desk - I imagine there are other assorted bits and bats like soldering irons, circuit boards and multiple kinds of tape off-screen
- location of Medic's right hand (can't decide if he's being sweet or naughty, maybe both)

IN CONCLUSION: AMAZING.

>>4553

SORRY FORGOT TO ADD: also the hearts on Engie's arm. It looks like Medic's also drawn a dotted line indicating where to amputate? I imagine that they are discussing the details of how to install his Gunslinger, since he doesn't have one in this picture. I AM SO DELIGHTED WITH THIS EVERYTHING THIS PICTURE IS AHH.

>>4597

Thank you! I'll admit that selfcest isn't my thing, but I'm glad you enjoyed it all the same!

>>4587 It made me quite happy to read that.

You know, I spent a good couple of minutes chuckling at this. How could I not? I mean, the look on Heavy's face, the relatively tiny teacup and saucer, and gosh, that freedom staff? Icing on the cake. How you put everything together, the posing, I just really love it all. Thank you so much.


>>4599

Hello! I'm the one who did your prompt. Had a lot of fun with it. And wow, I'm so so happy (and relieved) that you like it, and the fluff for that matter. Really wanted to get it right!

>>4626
:D I'm so glad you liked it! I was worried because I was the only one who submitted something made in SFM, and knew peopel probably sent in expecting a hand/digital drawing or fic. So I'm really happy to hear you like this, thank you.

>>4561

oh my goodness that's awesome, i'm in love with the dialogue, it feels exactly like what they'd say.

thank you whoever you are!

>>4634

Oh my goodness, you're so very welcome! I was a little worried as to whether it should have dialogue or not, so it is SUCH a relief that you like it.
It was the first time I've drawn Demoman too, so thank you for the fun challenge.

>>4605
I'm glad you liked it!

I love my gift. I guess we know who's been naughty this year, huh?

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Cyan’s Note: Insecuriosity was the owner of an orphaned prompt and Sid (http://siderealv.tumblr.com) stepped in to fill it despite not being a participant in the Secret Santa. Wow, talk about fandom team spirit! Thank you so much, Sid!

I hope you like your gift, Insecuriosity! There is a fanfic forthcoming as well.

Prompt: Merasmus needs a new place to stay after Soldier turned his place into a raccoon sanctuary and burned his body, but nobody wants to lend their house to a terrifying ghost wizard. In the end, our well-known (already forgotten) wizard settles for taking a living in a certain sniper-inhabited van...

>>4638

Thank you, siderealv! I was really really worried I was going to be skipped this year, thanks for chasing that fear away!
I love how the roles between Sniper and Merasmus are the turnedaround roles of Soldier and Merasmus! Bwaha!

Cyan’s Note: Anne was the owner of an orphaned prompt and Docteur kindly stepped in to fill it. Thank you, Docteur! (Now we only have one last orphan left until I can call this winter's Secret Santa a success.)

Prompt: Sniper/Spy, hurt/comfort.

>>4661
I love it! Thank you so much for taking my prompt up, it's perfect!

Cyan’s Note: Valiax_Gryphon was the owner of an orphaned prompt and Lithefider kindly stepped in to fill it. Thank you, Lithe!

A bonus image featuring Archimedes can be found on Lithefider's tumblr: http://lithefider.tumblr.com/post/44119766336/this-was-something-i-did-for-tf2-chans-secret

Prompt: Medic, Merasmus: ((from listening to some of Medic's lines from the 2012 Halloween event)) Medic's curiosity leads him to try to become a wizard. Prompt can be either him becoming Merasmus's apprentice who sees this as a way to get back at Soldier, or Medic stealing Merasmus's magic and/or Bombinonicon and duels the older wizard. Medic should be wearing the Skull Island topper to show his budding wizardry and maybe start altering his uniform to start taking on a more wizardry look like frayed sleeves, finger-less gloves, etc. Go crazy! Bonus for tucking in Archimedes somewhere to serve as Medic's familiar, especially if he too, wears a mini skull cap as well!

This was, according to my notes, the last of the Secret Santa gifts! Now everyone has received something for their participation. Merry Christmas--I hope you'll all join in again next time.

But all in all, thank you so much for such a wonderful picture and ensuring I am not left behind forever. Thank you Cyan for hosting the event and to Lithe for such a wonderful image!
