I've been feeling a bit bored with my sixties-themed avatar lately, and as Christmas is just around the corner, I decided I would make something with a seasonal theme as a stop-gap between now and New Years. :)
This is the first time I've ever made an animated avatar, as I've only recently started learning the ins and outs of using Jasc's Animation Shop program. This gif didn't take very long to make once I'd got a photo I was happy with, since it's only made of 3 frames and there isn't much change from one frame to the next.

I've inserted the image as a few weeks from now I will probably be sporting a different outfit, although I do think this one rather suits me. ;D :P
And now.... here's an exclusive first viewing of the whole figure only for PF members. Click the thumbnail attachment below to see the full outfit. :-*

LOL She's winking at me :D
She's beautiful Sylvia! 8-) What Santa wouldn't like to have her as his helper? ;) ;D
Thanks for sharing
-
As my brother used to say "Rick-Roo"!!!! (that's a verbal wolf whistle)
Very festive! (and I'm coveting the light up Christmas tree ... I keep hoping Santa will bring me one) :D
-
Thanks for the great feedback! ;D
How do you like my holly hair ornament?
I nicked it off a dollshouse miniature Christmas pudding. It was just the right size! 8-)
(and I'm coveting the light up Christmas tree ... I keep hoping Santa will bring me one) :D
That is indeed a lovely piece, one of the nicest Christmassy things Playmobil have ever released. You really should try and get one. It looks great when you turn out the mains lights and just have the tree lit up inside a diorama or dollshouse setting. :yup:
-
The hair holly is great! I wondered where you got it.
I may have to get that tree. I'm building a suprise Christmas castle for DH and the little guy, and that would be a perfect topper.
-
What a great custom!! She will probably get a bit cold at the North Pole though. ;)
-
Very fun...perhaps she's a Southern Hemisphere Santa's Helper??? :yup:

Hello, Sylvia ... GREAT custom ... :wow: ... :wow: ... :wow: ... :wow: ... :wow: ...
And, I think that your "signature" fits so well with Santa's Baby ...

Think of all the fun I've missed, think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed;
Next year I could be oh so good if you'd check off my Christmas list!

Yes, I've had that song in my head all afternoon :hmm: ;) ;D ... luckily, I like the song ;D

Hello, Mal ...
I didn't realize that it was a song. Can you sing it for us ... ???
(We can post animated GIFs ... How about MP3s?)
I guess I'll have to go to Google. Hmmm ... I don't know the name of the song? ... :eh?:
-
Hi King Richard!
I'm pretty sure the name of the song is Santa Baby ... wait, let me run over to iTunes real quick ...
OK, I have two versions, depending on your preference ... I have Holly Cole, and another by Eartha Kitt. Shall I email one to you?

I just realized that I have the Eartha Kitt version, but never paid any attention to the words ... ;)
However, I would love to hear the Holly Cole rendition.

Thanks, Mal!
All the best,

Yes, you and I will get along just fine! :lol: Holly Cole is on her way! ;D
-
THAT really is a sexy santa's helper... :D
Great job... And I like animated avatars...
I have to try this at time as well.. :yup:
I just wonder... There is the habit that two persons have to kiss when they meet under a mistletoe.
What about a girl having a mistletoe in her hair? ;D
I bet, especially this cutie would end up pretty much frequently kissed... ;)
best regards,
socrates

Hey, Serenity,
Could you please email me the two versions of the song? Please
Socrates,
If such a stunning woman has mistletoe in her hair, I believe that everyone might be kissing her, and she couldnt do her job which is to help Santa.
He might make sure there is no mistletoe in her hair. He can be a very hard man to work for.

Morning, Meg ~
They're on their way ;D

Hello, everyone! Thanks for all the nice comments. :D
I've been a bit busy today, so I have a lot to catch up on with replies to posts all over the forum!

Nice xmas border, btw. :yup:

Mistletoe and holly are different plants, aren't they? I think mistletoe has white berries, not red. :eh?:
I don't know for sure as I never followed that custom, having grown up in Australia. :P
Hey, what's that on your cheek, socrates? ;D

Hello Sylvia :wave:
Thank you for sharing this wonderfull custom with us, she is very pretty. I am allways impressed with the very high standard of your work and your attention to detail :). I really do like the way you have animated her to wink, very clever indeed !!
Kindest Regards Tim :)
-
Thanks, Tim! Pleased that you like her too! ;D
Richard, I hadn't heard that rendition of "Santa Baby" before either. I think I've only ever heard later cover versions, but I really enjoyed this one. Cute idea to put it together with the pic like that. :lol: Thanks for your help in locating the song, Mal. ;)

Happy you liked it, Sylvia!
Thanks to Mal we were able to post the Holly Cole version!

I'm a huge fan of Holly Cole (Diana Krall too), so no problem ;D I grew up listening to that style of music, so it's very near and dear to my heart. I'm slowly converting my Metalica-loving husband, too ;)
-
Both versions of the song are nice
HC is very 1960s, to me at least
I have always liked Eartha Kitt
Sylvia,
Mistletoe does have white berries, and smaller leaves than holly.
Holly has pointy leaves, mistletoe does not

Great custom as always.
For some odd reason though I keep on thinking that the hair looks like lovely custard poored on top of something delicious, I need to get out more.
Haven't you got enough (12) sexy female figs, including trailer trash to create a calendar for the boys yet Sylvia. ;D

Hi Sir Gareth and Red! Thanks for your nice comments. :-*

I hadn't noticed that similarity before but now that you mention it... ;D

Think I need a few more yet. ;) I've got a bunny girl for easter (April?) and this gal for December, Tammi for one of the summer months, the bathtub ladies, the lady who likes handcuffs, .... hmm. Quite a few gaps to fill and not enough time to spend customising. 8} At this rate maybe I'll have something for you by 2010. :P
