This started out as a render of Howie Farke's Carrara Christmas freebie snow scene...
on the cottage, I added to the holly on the front door by putting some of Moonbeam's berries
and bow (cut out from one of her holiday vignettes) I also added frost on the windows!

The snow man is a combination of two of Traveler's Snow men, with LOTS of work to match
one snow texture with the other, than loading both in poser, posing each, with some parts invisible,
replacing the nose with Snowfire Graphic's carrot and a lot of post work to bring out the scarf after!

The reindeer is an OLDER model of mine, rendered first in poser and then a lot of post work on it
To see a 'before and after' of that work, click here!

I then added the lettering, typing in Photoshop, and using "liquid metal" effects, placed "in" the snow
and added shadows to help the illusion.

Lastly but most certainly not least, I added one of George Gregory's Glorious Skies in which soars Ken Gilliland's Bald Eagle!

It's the Sad Little Tree and other sad stuff from the RDNA 2014 sad Christmas freebies.
