The raffle has officially ended! Thank you so much to all participants. Entries are now closed. Winners will be announced and contacted sometime on the 11th, and they will have 24 hours to claim their prizes. Good luck, everybody!

A note for all participants: I will NOT remind you to do what's necessary to qualify, it's your responsibility to check that you're following the rules provided. You will not be added to the participants list unless you do what is asked of you in the rules. Be sure to thoroughly read ALL of the rules both on what I'm willing to make and how you can join. If you do not follow all of them and you win, your prize will be given to the next runner up. There is enough information provided here for you to manage yourselves. Good luck!

It's the time of giving, dudes, so get your unpaid labor here!!!

Free raffle for all yous guys out there who want a slice of the art cake but don't wanna cough up the dough for it as a thank you for all the support and dick jokes over the years!
This'll run from the 1st to the 10th, so your prizes - depending on their complexity - might be done in time for Christmas! Ain't that convenient?

GOAL OF 50 PARTICIPANTS HIT WITHIN 24 HOURS! THANKS SO MUCH, EVERYONE! A FOURTH WINNER'S SLOT HAS BEEN ADDED

There will be 3 winners!

Examples: my entire fwuckin gallery
2nd prize is a free fullbody sketch (will be colored and shaded!)
Examples: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/29378259/, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28608779/, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28463814/

Examples: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25836890/

How it works:
Simple Two Step Process To Enter!! 1) watch me (and continue watching me at least until the raffle is done) and 2) post a comment that includes "ho ho hoes" below (this'll let me know you're not just commenting but are actually entering.)
When the raffle ends, the winner will be randomly selected via an online generator. I'll post a screencap of the four winners' names to bring the raffle to a close.

Boost your chances like the cheater we all know you are:
Add this submission to your favorites (tell me if you have and keep it in there til the end date) = +1 extra entry
Create a journal advertising this raffle with an explanation and a link here (link me to the journal and keep it posted til the end date) = +2 extra entries

Da Rulez (it's follow or die, dude. you follow or you die):
1) Enter as stated above, DUH
2) Only one entry per person. You'll be disqualified if you post multiple ho ho hoes or you comment from multiple accounts that you own/co-own. For God's sake do not comment using group accounts.
3) Don't be whiny, greedy, or a dick to anyone else entering. This is anyone's game, after all. Don't get all cranky if you don't win.
4) Have a character decided on ahead of time. I won't pick characters for you. You must have up-to-date visual references for these characters. YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED IF YOUR REFERENCES ARE NSFW I DON'T WANNA SEE YOUR OC'S GROSS DICK FOR CHRISTMAS
5) Only characters you own or, if it's a gift, characters you have permission to get art made of. No IP characters. Fan characters are fine.
6) The resulting art will be SFW only. No porn, some minor violence/blood is fine. If you were hoping this was your chance for Heebdick you're shit outta luck.
7) Adjustments will NOT BE MADE and WiPs WILL NOT BE SENT. This is free, dude, not a commission, don't look a gift horse yadda yadda blah blah
8) Maximum of 3 characters per piece. This goes for all of the prizes.
9) If you've won the 1st prize and aren't sure what you'd like, feel free to just go through my gallery and point out something you want art similar to. So long as I've done it, you can have it as well!
10) Have a holly jolly Christmas or else!!!
[psst! btw don't post what you want in the comments, wait to see if you actually win first. this is all just stuff to keep in mind]
