Holiday Spirit or Holiday Creep? What it Costs to get the Perfect Animal Crossing Christmas.
Animal Crossing, a life simulation game for Nintendo’s Gamecube and Wii consoles, is coming out with another holiday game for their 3DS. Every time this happens, I have to wonder… what does it cost to get the perfect Animal Crossing Christmas?
Games like this are tricky to work with because they are so open ended. You can go as deep as you want in your customization, but you don’t know quite where you are going with it. If you go too deep, though, you could run across some pretty hefty costs.
Here is what I mean by “perfect.” In my town for Thanksgiving, I have a real turkey sitting on the table with a candle in its mouth. For Halloween, I have the town decorated in spider webs and jack-o-lanterns. On Christmas Eve, my character walks through snow to visit Santa Claus at the Nook mansion. When he/she leaves there, they walk down Main Street past trees in front of all the shops and houses; some of which are highlighted by Christmas lights. There is even a present next to the mailbox once a month (on the 25th). The whole thing is complete when the snow
Hello craft fans! I’m going to call my blog “What it costs to get the perfect animal crossing christmas” because I love making holiday art and i’ve always thought about how much money you would spend on it. It’s fun to imagine what other people would buy too. I think this will be a fun blog to write!
The holidays are upon us. The malls are decorated with festive lights, the stores are filled with arts and crafts, and the streets are lined with Salvation Army bells ringing hopefully in the distance. If you’re like me, you’ve been scouring the aisles in search of that perfect art piece to really make your Animal Crossing town stand out this year.
Tired of trying to find that perfect piece, I decided to make my own. I didn’t have much experience in drawing but I did have a lot of time on my hands and an excess of holiday spirit. I thought to myself, “What if all the people who made their own art were brought together?” So here I am!
These pieces range from silly doodles to serious works of art. Not only do they vary in artistic talent but also in price, ranging from $10 to $5,000. Prices may seem high for such simple drawings but keep in mind that all these pieces are one-of-a-kind! Who knows? With some effort and dedication you could be the next big thing on Etsy!
I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I enjoyed making it!
Animal crossing is a game I have played for years. It has all the features of a social game and many more. You can pick fruit, fish, go for walks, catch bugs and sell them on to animals. You can also buy patterns for clothes and accessories from the store. Patterns are designed by real life artists like myself.
The pattern costs $300 in real money or 300 bells (the virtual currency). It is an original design so you will be the only person in town wearing this pattern. It is my own drawing of a snowflake based on references from Google.
If you are interested then please contact me via facebook or email. I am happy to take custom orders and I can design any pattern you would like, as long as it isn’t too crazy or offensive (as in racist, sexist or violent).
I will also draw other things besides patterns such as portraits of your favourite animal crossing character.

I’m sure that some of you are familiar with the Animal Crossing game series. I just wanted to share my experience with it and some art I’ve found on the internet.
I’ll start by saying that this is one of my favorite games. When I first played it, I fell in love with the characters, especially Tom Nook (the raccoon). The other characters include a witch named Brewster, who runs the Happy Home Showcase; Kapp’n, a whale who drives you around in his taxi; Blathers, an owl who works in the museum; and Mr. Resetti, a mole who works at the town hall and has a very short temper.
So anyway, as with most games, there’s a lot of art out there made by fans. Some of it is amazing and really adds to the game. There’s even a few artists who draw fan art for fun and give it away for free. However, there are some things that were sold on ebay for $100+.
I can understand why people would want it. It’s really great work, but when paying so much money for something that was made by someone else without their permission, isn’t that taking advantage of them?
There are some great spots to visit if you are looking for holiday art and want to find some great deals. Here is a quick list of some places I have found:
The art gallery at the Able Sisters’ shop in town is a great place to look for holiday art. Some work is on display now and there are still more pieces that will be displayed leading up to Christmas day. There is always something new to check out and plenty of time left to buy before Christmas.
There are plenty of carpets being made by Tom Nook’s shop, Nook’s Homes. Nook’s Homes has been pretty busy this season with lots of custom orders being put in by villagers across the town. It is worth checking out every once in a while because you never know what you’ll end up finding!
Recently, Isabelle has started working with the Happy Home Academy and people can pick up their holiday cards here. If you’re lucky enough, you might even be able to find one of Isabelle’s Holiday Cards that she has been putting out around town.
The Town Tree always has plenty of lights on it during the holiday season and, on top of that, there are also ornaments hanging from it as well! It is a great place if you’re
I am a student artist and I want to know if I should put up my art for sale. I want to know if you think it’s worth more then what I think it is worth. So I’m asking you and the internet at large. The art can be any kind of art, I’m not picky about that. Just looking for a second opinion on what people would pay for my art.
Doller Amount: $0-$35
