"The Christmas Puppy" This gift can go either way. A kid's dream: "There's a puppy under the tree!" Or a parent's nightmare: .....And he's destroying the house! This piece was inspired by the excitement of a puppy and, well... what puppies do! It was created in Poser 9 with postwork in Photoshop CS2. I can't really estimate the total hours as it was created in several different incarnations over the course of nearly a month while juggling a baby in one arm. Everything takes 20 times longer with a baby in your arm.
