Reason?!: because when new years comes, we drink!

well, I like horo...butbut
not really christmassy....
and, "because when new years comes, we drink!", well, not really, and I don't know how that fits with THIS community, do we drink here or..watch anime?, doesn't fit

so, make it more "christmassy", remove the "Alchoholic community"... then it should be fine, I guess

haha was waiting for that.

sorry but this is the most "christmassy" one I could think of, see here down under, it's summer time, which happens to mean beer time, usually bbq's ensue and more liquor than you can shake your fist at is consumed waiting for the new years fireworks.

the only thing I can think of to make it more christmassy would be to replace the beer pattern with a sausage pattern and maybe make the bg red

no, red is right out(almost everyone sumbits red ones). go for anything bright and "partylike" plus fireworks. you don't have to go for christmassy banners. there are a few new year themed banners submitted(OP said it's allowed). check em out.

alrighty, three more attempts, I figured just having the beer in the background was kinda plain when mixed with the coloreds, so I added snags!
might work on some fireworks type stuff.

... at least add some "spice"(pun intended) in the "bakabt anime community". it's too simplistic. maybe a frothy beer or something and a generic greeting like "happy holidays"

I think it might look better if the BG Ika Musumes stand out a bit...

Meanwhile, I simply had fun with this...

Sorry to say this but this hurts my eyes. It's waaaaay too bright. So bright in fact that I have trouble reading the text. Then there's her breath, it cuts off at her hair suddenly so you'll need to fix that. Other than that it looks ok.

[dragonscape2]

Looks good.  Was interested, so I searched for them.  This is what I got...

Too bad I can't read most of the site...

Kyrdua already looked into it and it looks like its original art (and i forgot the name of the artist lol)
i would like to understand what it says in the first link though

anyway thx for looking into it

heres what it says:
"Everyday" and "Shiu"(character design: Shiumai): 4Gamer girl mascot duo of character.Recruitme nt plan godmotherwas named by.

[godofcheese]

I dont know the name of these two ladies, help identifying would be grateful.

Think that is from a game tbh
so.. original art, I guess

Site says "Christmas Shiu Mai" 4gamer,
think it is Sangoku Chaos, the game,
and the artist that submitted it is called "大鷹 dai taka" can be found Here

but, not sure about this

Darkened it and tried to fix the breath:

Still hard to see the text.... I advice you to change/fix that

Darkened it and tried to fix the breath:

I can read the text, but it kind of hurts my eyes.  Maybe give it a dark outline or something...
