Christmas just got better here at Lowyat.NET, because we're working with MSI to give away a brand new Wind U130 netbook!

In the spirit of Christmas, the contest mechanics are dead simple:

1) Take a snapshot of your favorite Christmas themed desktop.
2) Add a caption to your photo with a Christmas greeting.
3) Post the photo in this thread [http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1675467]

Once you've completed these three steps, our panel of judges will determine the most creative desktop theme, and one lucky forum member will be starting the new year with a brand new MSI Wind U130 netbook. It's that simple!

Contest runs from 13 December 2010 till 23 December 2010. Contest winner will be announced after Christmas.

P.S. You are free to submit as many entries as you want. However, we're looking for quality, not quantity so please try to be selective with your posts!

Here is a picture that I actually made myself. Its a mixed media, Graphite, Charcoal, Pastel, and Acrylic Paint.

The picture was drawn from a reference picture, with a lot of different tweaks and improvements. I painted it for the house because we lacked some Christmas decor. Its on a 3'x1.4' piece of stretched duck canvas. It was taken with a digital camera and adjusted a little because of the darkness of the picture, so it looks a little more defined in real life. Plus the conversion to a GIF image really made it poorer quality.. Even the icons are grainy.

And I added some holiday cheer icons, as well, to the desktop.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Take care. Happy Holidays.



@CCPChris, I love that picture of the cat on the avatar, looking like a puma symbol. Lol. Looks just like my cat. fuzzy little thing.
