It's a kind of magic. The inspiration came to me from the fantasy stories full of gnomes and elves, and the unique bright lights of Christmas adorning every place in this period. I thought of setting the scene in a different magical world, in a forest inhabited by strange blue creatures: they are celebrating holidays with their family like we do, the magic of Christmas is universal. I spent about a month in my spare time to create each object in the forest and the little alien character, using Blender and Daz Studio. The render was done with Carrara, postwork and textures created using Paint Shop Pro X2 and FilterForge. The character and the props in the scene will be given away at the end of the competition, as my personal gift to the community. Merry Christmas and good luck to all participants.
