The Christmas elf

The Pointy Hatted Holiday Helper

We’re in the mad rush towards the holidays, there’s shoveling and shopping to do, Witchbanger shows to attend and wives birthdays to celebrate so I’m letting this one go a leisurely two weeks.

Pretty sure you know what a Christmas Elf is, but in the rare instance that you have just woken up from a long winters nap… They are small, people shaped beings, usually dressed in festive greens and reds with pointy toed shoes, long pointy caps and often accessorized with bells of the jingly variety… They are tasked by the Nicholases to help build toys in the workshop, care for reindeer and if you’d believe the old holiday specials, occasional dental work. The rest I leave to you!

judgement Is Complete

our judgeSo we’re just saying our judge this week is Santa! Now what’s that really mean? Well beyond the fact that it puts me atop a throne of lies cause it’s not really Santa… its also a great way for me to cover up that my grander plan for judgement from a real Santa fizzled and I’ve fallen back to a trusted beast council to help shape this week’s decisions… so with that and my apologies for the judgement fumble, may i present:

Gotta love how intense this one is, it’s like even he is a lil frightened of his own piranha teefed goblin grin! but am i the only one noticing that something in the shading is giving the impression of giant boobs? Also that toy is creepy as hell.

Judge’s Commentary – Because as a wise man once said… “more ink equals more heart!” Plus it makes us recall that Maximum Overdrive is one of the best holiday movies ever and AC/DC is truly the sound of the season…

Hahaha funny as it may be in a picture i bet not even the satisfaction one would derive from such a task would counteract how much working all day in that position would destroy even a magical elfen body. All that aside that glowing drunk nose and softly closed eyes of relaxed concentration are making me very happy!

Judge’s Commentary
– While it can be argued that perhaps this is not the healthiest way to do so, there is no denying that this elf has taken the spirit of giving of oneself to heart!

So here’s how broken I am… this one came with a note apologizing for how dark it was, so I opened it up and thought, “heck i wouldn’t have even mentioned that, a lil tweak of the levels and it will be just fine!”… never once thinking the darkness was in reference to the sweet elf metal content of the pic!

Judge’s Commentary – Two schools of thought here, one being that you cant spell Santa without Satan… which while entirely untrue when phrased that way, is still fun to say… the second being that our illustrious host (that’s me) has posted this one upside down confusing the message and if you look at it right side up it shows the most lovingnest of happy holiday hugs!

Hey this lil elf is one half of my dog army and just spent the past evening sleeping snuggled under my chin…. Don’t let the good looks deceive you! Anyone who knows him will confirm (honk) Fenton is a jerk (honk)!

Youss guyss mays jusst be bottlesss but yousssiss myss besssst friendsss! Is he wearing a frilly shouldered but sleeveless bodymorph suit? I sure hope so and I’m curious how a halftone fill makes me think it’s more festive, but I suppose how it works is less important than the fact that it just works!

In our crate of xmas things, there’s a box simply labelled “balls”… I swear it makes me laugh every year i see it… And for those of you who know him, I may have accidentally drawn another nude ken here… I swear it wasn’t my intention, but hey, Merry Xmas! consider it my gift to you!

Ooh i do love me a tight crop! Is he running for a bus? or is he doing that crazy windmilling arms backwards walk off stage? So many great possibilities! And scary teeth or not I’m betting this elf knows how to scoop the hell out of some ice cream!

Ok so having seen lots of works from this artist I think I can comfortably say that this isn’t an elf but a reindeer sticking its face through a wooden elf standup… but it still entertains the crap outta me so I’ll let it fly… and is that blood on the fake elf’s hands?

Man I love the ginger orange hair! It’s funny, I know they are a comic mainstay but giant dangly adam’s apples always make me cringe a lil and is this dude miming… you know what… it’s the holidays, lets just wonder what kind of imaginary festive drink he is drinking from his giant invisible straw!

So the snow got added when our artists upped this to google+ but it adds a nice touch so we kept it! A very nice traditional and chubby cheeked lil Elf with eyes that scream “I’m going to kill you the moment you fall asleep!” ha!

You know some folks will call this too loose an interpretation, but i love these, so many possibilities from a hooka smoking, caterpillar elf to a bereted euro elf driving what could potentially be a go cart or perhaps even a silver spoons style miniature steam train? Or for that matter Squidward just waving from behind a rock!

I think I’m just going to have to be fine letting the pet shop boys ref just fly over my head… but a few things, said PSB’s silhouette looks a hell of a lot like Freddy and can you imagine the level of hate or emotional numbness it would take to spit fiery hell into someones face while staring that intently into their eyes at that distance… F’ing elves man… ha

Anyone else get the feeling these two just fell deeply into what will be a tumultuous and never approved by their parents love? I love the twirling magic mountain perspective too!

Dammit I knew when i started this site that not being able to call out the subtle references to differing eras of Greecian vase ornamentation would bite me in the ass… He’s so bright, smiley, and elfen and since i’m smiling as I type, I’m pretty sure you’d call this infectious!

So full of representations of major life choices, do we welcome outsiders or try and scare them away? Do we choose the quick thrill of material goods ala presents vs spiritual health in the yuletide tree or can we somehow find both and do we, or do we not want mammoths to die for our footwear?

See I’m torn, the part of me that grew up with nothing to play with but Star Wars toys and sharpened sticks really wants to distrust this guy as he looks way too much like and imperial droid… but in my middle ages, I’ve really come to appreciate unique drawing traits like little/big arm and lifeless eye syndrome both of which this elf sports with pride, so I think I maybe love him…

Let’s all say it together, it’s an Elfie Selfie! Love that the pooper made the shot and honestly this one’s got a great Science Court era Squigglevision feel to it that I’ll always love!

Hey it’s like the drawing version of BaHumbug! Please note i didnt post this baby til after santa made his rounds just in case… I wanna know more about this magical ladder to no where and how a dude with cookies for buttons on his coat can be that obsessed with efficiency?

Is it just teh mustache that makes this dude feel like an old timey big game hunter? cause it feels like the whole thing just screams Ace Ventura two style roomfull of death… Murderer or not i do love his teeny tiny elfin feet and penchant for candy of the cane variety…

Sweet so this is either a great, original star trek style, two toned elf building a toy truck, or an elf getting a little roasted on one side whilst cooking a hot dog over an obviously radioactive toy… I kinda love both options.

So another one I’m torn by the options… is this elfin face skin pulled tight in a kite frame ala the oldest living human on doctor who? or is it a rendering of an elf tech version of the dimensional prison that held Zod and his buds, I like option 2 of these scenarios!

God that’s stupid good curly n fluffy elf hair and brows… I’m going to say if he lowers his grip on that hammer, he could let the leverage do a lot more of the work and he wouldn’t have to lean into his work so… though it does make it a lil more adorable…

As Mos Eisley is to scum and villany, Wisconsin Dells are to post holiday fae centric swingers balls? (I knew it was the dells cause the artist said so… not just cause they were still using a hot tub… come to think of it is that even a hot tub… and why am i still parenthesized?)

This just further proves that santa hat or not, sharks with arms and legs are scary as hell. Though i do kinda love those lil heels on his curly elf boots!

And finishing off the week with a sweet lil Seanist elf, hand widdled spoons and all!… though i gotta say his Ren & Stimpy eye is starting to look like it may actually need some attention and either he really needs some hip alignment or it’s possible he should just be widdling himself a lift for that right shoe to avoid future back problems?
