Before our 3D artists create an item to be used in Webkinz World, a concept artist will make a sketch to be used as a reference image. Here are 5 concept artist sketches that inspired some of your favorite Christmas themed items:
This delicious looking gingerbread house was one of last year’s Countdown to Christmas prizes. The concept artist’s sketch and the actual item are almost identical:
The Santakinz Toy Train was last year’s final gift for the Countdown to Christmas. The log cabin that’s featured in the concept artist’s sketch was a nice touch, but was not included in the final item:
The Town Square Music stand is currently availble in the WShop. As you can see, it was decided that a music book should be added to the stand after the original concept was created:
The concept art for the Festive Winter Sapling (also available in the WShop this year) is almost identical to the final item:
The peppermint candies overflowing from the Gingerbread Cabin Building Kit were a nice touch added by the concept artist:
Whoa. That’s AMAZING!
WOW! I agree! These pictures are beautiful!

These are way cool! Please do more articles like this!
Glad you like it! We have tons of concept art so doing more shouldn’t be a problem. ;)
This is amazing ART! Thank you for sharing these “behind the scene” images – what a fun and exciting occupation your team of artists seem to have! Keep up the creative and detailed work…
They’re super talented. It’s fun because you know where the artists are sitting since their area is so much more decorated and “creative” looking haha.
Yeah, this really is neat! I draw sometimes but not near that good! Not NEARRR that good :P!
Oh I love this! Thanks so much for sharing the concept art for these awesome items. Kudos to everyone involved. Such talent! Keep up the great work.
I’ll let the art team know how much everyone enjoyed these. :)
Neat, these are really cool sketches.

Beautiful sketches!!
That’s really neat! I kind of like the drawings better than the actual items.
You’re so right, SmoresOfScotland! The drawings are unbelievably amazing! ;)
The pictures do look WAYYY better Buutttttt…. not to brag >.> but I think I could draw those easily if I really wanted to. I just never thought of even doing that.
