Secret Santa 2018

Even the dutiful and diligent Smeargle's Studio can lose track of time occasionally. A bunch of brand new articles to be illustrated, a special giveaway that needs special artwork, one last minute request for a tournament banner flying in. ...Oh wait! "What about this year's annnnual Secret Santa?!" LifeisDANK proclaimed, just as December started rolling along. And thus, a group of 17 enthusiastic artists assembled over the course of the next week, ready to spread the usual dose of Christmas spirit and engage in the sacred act of gift exchange.

If there's anything about the ninth annual Secret Santa that stands out, it's probably the high concentration of rather unconventional art requests that deviate from the traditionally seasonal and festive themes. A selection of the produced artworks is presented below. To view the process in its entirety, refer to the original thread here.
