Advent Calendar Drawing Contest

Welcome, welcome one and all!
Come in, take a seat: the annual advent calendar drawing contest is about to begin. Take out your drawing programs, computer mice, tablets and whatever else you might need and let the creativity flow!

As every year, PokéHeroes will be having a new Advent Calendar this year as well. Starting in December, every user will have 24 doors, one for each day before Christmas, with a small task and a reward waiting!

With lovely backgrounds to make it even more fun to look at the past years, it would be a shame to be forced to look at the default light blue background of PokéHeroes instead. That's why we're organizing this contest for all the wonderful digital artists out there!

Reward
Why participate, aside from it being fun? The five best designs will, as always, be available as a background for everyone's calendar. Those five artists will get their pick of any shiny Advent pokémon [except legendary], including any possible new additions that might be released during this year's Advent Calendar. Currently released Advent pokémon: Snowling, Santa Bird, Skugar, Frosty Kecleon, Pachirisnow.
Anyone else who qualified, but didn't quite win the big prize, will get a consolation prize. You'll have to wait and see to know what it is ;)

Artwork Requirements
Accepted File Types: .PNG .JPEG .JPG
Image Size: 650 x 1000 px (width x height)
Artwork Type: Digital, no transparency
Artwork Design: Be wild and be free; it's pretty much up to you. As long it's Hanukkah-related and pokémon-related in some way, any entry is welcome (maybe they're spinning the Dreidel, lighting specific candles,...). Just make sure there's at least one pokémon in it.
File Upload: Please upload it to a website which doesn't delete it within the next 30 days. (Recommended: sta.sh, tinypic.com)
Copyright: The artwork has to be drawn completely by you. You are not allowed to include images from other artists. Last year's entries also can't be (re)submitted, even if it would still fit the theme somehow.

Please post your finished artwork in this thread!

Deadline
The deadline is November 25th, 23:59.
The winners will be chosen by us, the staff, based on quality.
The results should be revealed on the 30th of november.

I drew this a long time ago cuz I was bored but it may count

Even though I can't see the specific dimensions, I am certain that it's the wrong size ^^'
The image needs to be in portrait, while yours is in landscape.

Wrll time to draw some more ^_^

Would it be okay to include a human in the drawing?

Can it be hand drawn and digitally colored?

Gastly bother 2: uhh...I think he went with our uncle & aunt...
Gastly bother 2: ...Whoah...so many pokemon came to celebrate with us, it will be hard to find our brother...But no matter what, we triplets should remain united !
Gastly bother 2: ... Actually.......I don't like when there are so many pokemon around...
Gastly bother 1: Awh...don't worry...I am sure we will find him...

...

Oh,...look ! I found him ! He was with Uncle Ben & auntie Jennifer, just like you said !

@blizzardkittymimikyu - As long as the drawing hasn't been entered before, you're free to use it to enter. We simply don't want repeat submissions :)

@Lizzagna - Humans are allowed; just make sure it has the two requirements ^^

@ShadowRaven - We only allow 100% digital art, so no hand-drawn base either.

@Flyer - The format fits, so I don't see why not :p

@Girafarig - Of course you're allowed to enter :^) There's no restriction, simply for being Staff, so if you're feeling creative, you're free to enter ^^

---

Are we allowed to submit more than one drawing?

---

Well you were allowed to submit most multiple entries last year so yup ^^ I'd assume it's the same this year since I can't find information saying otherwise :)

---

As SilverStar said, you're allowed to make as many entries as you like. Just keep in mind you can only win once ;)

---

I worked all night on this one

---

Are we allowed to include Gen VII Pokemon in the art?

@Goomyabc123 - It's giving me an error ^^'

@PkmnTrainerV - The Calendar is going to be used during December, when the games have been released for a few weeks already, so I see no reason to refuse it. Though, for the sake of not spoiling those who don't want to be spoiled, please put those entries in spoiler-tags.

Pika-snow I hope you all like it ^-^ (x)
