I thought it might be nice to have a thread for each month. So when you finish a picture for January's challenge, you can either paste it here (by using Photobucket), or I will be happy to grab it from the Gatchaman FC at Deviant Art and post it here for you. Just let me know what you'd like.
Here's the first of my submissions for the "Gatch-a-month" challenge. I plan to try to do each of the signs in the horoscope. Here's January's submission- Jinpei as a Tumnus-esque faun, since Capricorn is a goat.

Do I detect a slight "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" influence?
Yes, I mentioned he was "Tumnus-esque"..."The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is still one of my favorites!

That's what I get for not wearing my glasses! Sorry, Springie.
Love it! Very intimidated to try this challenge.
Please don't be intimidated! This is for us to appreciate your art. It's about creative thinking and sharing with everyone! I think you'll feel better after you submit your first piece...
I have to draw it first! But thanks, I'll see what I can do.
Okay, Springie. Here's my effort for January:
Dang! That came out huge! I tried to make it smaller but it disappeared. I need lessons in Photobucket, clearly ...

That's adorable. 
You can resize an image in Photobucket, it took me a while to figure that out too!

Omg! Jinpei is adorable! I love his little hat! This would be cute not only for January but also for the holidays if you colored his hat red and green! Great drawing, Jublke!
Oh I love both of these! Springie, that was so creative! And jublke I think that drawing captures Jinpei's "essence".

Here is mine. Seems like we all have Jinpei on the brain.
Just saw this over at DA! Love it! Who knew she was such a rabid fan? Jinpei had better warn the others...
Great work! 
Nice one, Ann! And congrats on achieving "former lurker" status.
LOL, I wonder how many times those yo-yos come out when the game is on?
Chris - Or how many TVs she goes through each season!

These are all great! I love the different approaches and styles!
Springie, Jinpei needs to be next to a lamppost... 
Ha...I almost added a lamppost, but decided not to have any more Narnia references (as if it wasn't Narnia enough- lol)...
OK so I probably chose something a little more involved/complicated that I was really ready for when I came up with my idea. But, I managed to pull it off (more or less) and learned some important lessons about compositing images to build something bigger.
Hooray! That turned out great! You really stretched yourself for this one and I'm so glad to hear that you learned some new techniques!
I love those snowy days when you can just stay inside by the fire and stay cozy. I'd like to be right there with Joe and his little friend...
Oh wow, Mylari, you have really done a great job here.

This is a great way to start off my Monday morning! I was ready for a good Condor pic and was surprised to find a cute Fennec with him! 
Thanks everyone! I'm actually fairly happy with how this turned out, though I did consider begging Springie for help at one point when I got frustrated.
And I'm thinking a fennec is more fun to snuggle than a blanket
I'd be happy to help anytime you need me...but you did great on your own!
Aww, Chris, he's precious!
Nice one, Mylari! It figures that Joe would have a wild pet!
I've been wanting to draw feathery wings for a while and finally gave in, hehe.
Awesome!! I love his wings! This may be my favorite of yours so far, Chris! Way to go!
I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying everyone's entries, and I am so impressed with all of the talent I've seen. You guys rock!!
Thanks. I reused a Ken I drew earlier, I confess, but I'm really happy with the wings and the recoloring to make him "cold."
