Well 2019 is coming to an end, a decade as well. This year... sucked? Not a good year for me, mostly due to general work related stress and even being made redundant for my role for 2 months in the year (I got hired back at least, but oh boy was that section of the year bad). Looking back at the post of last year, the Brexit Bomb once again was one of the bigger worries of the year, it didn't go off, but after the last election, it looks like it's almost certainly going off in January... If I become Irish next year, don't be surprised.

Well, at least I'm not ill this christmas, although I do feel I've been behind a lot more this christmas trying to get everything done on time. Speaking of which, the Christmas Giveaway! I need to discuss that!

---


Every year I've been doing these steam key giveaways, often related to my art dumps of various christmas pictures. This year on offer we have the following games.

Monster Prom
Bendy and the Ink Machine™
The Jackbox Party Pack 3
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
and Slay the Spire

Now, as Christmas is the time for giving, you won't be winning these keys for yourself, you will be winning them for a friend, consider it a christmas gift for them.

And of course, you can't just make a post to win the prize, that would be too easy, there will be a riddle to solve as well. I'll be posting 7 Christmas art works to this account, One per day until the new years. And this time, there's going to be 7 different riddles, one for each day.

I'll add a quick note to this, Some of these images will be alternates, the alternates will contain the same puzzle it's original. Each new piece of artwork will have it's own riddle to solve, and that artworks variants will have the same riddle.

Now, in the past I've done first to post the answer, though it's always had the timezone differences. This year, you can post your riddle answers anytime to me on New Years Day (Midnight to 11:59pm). For every correct Riddle Answer you get, I will add your name once into a Lottery. You can have your name up to 7 times in the lottery if you get every riddle answer right. The catch is I will only allow one attempt per person at solving the riddles, get a riddle wrong, you miss out your chance on that one.

The riddles will range in difficulty from very tricky to the one freebie very easy riddle to solve so everyone should get at least one entry in.

Afterwards I will draw 5 winners in order, and those 5 will be the gift-givers this holiday who can send one of these great games to their friend, with first getting first pic, second getting second pic, and so on and so forth. I will have 5 unique winners, so once you've won once, the rest of your entries will be removed from the lotto. Of course, more correct entries mean a better chance of being the first drawn name and first choice.

So in brief:

- Enter the giveaway for a chance of gifting a close friend of yours one of these great games.
- Each day I will post a new artwork, and with each will be a riddle.
- On News Years Day send me your riddle solutions, you only get one chance.
- For every right answer, you get one chance in the lottery, up to 7 chances can be won!
- The top 5 winners will be drawn on the 2nd of January, and those 5 will be the gift-givers. With 1st drawn having first pick, 2nd drawn having 2nd pick and so on and so forth.

I hope that's all clear, I hope you enjoy the fun art ideas I commissioned this holiday. And I hope you have good luck in solving the riddles and winning the giveaway for your friends!
