Dashing through the snow, in a Rocket-Powered sleigh...

I used Daz3D to kit-bash and render the models and snow as separate images. I used 3DCoat to create the rocket engine and the textures for the rocket sleigh. The background, render and snow were edited with motion blur and color adjustment in Photoshop elements. I thought that with more and more people in the world and a greater number of presents to deliver, Santa need a new way of transporting them around the world at super-speed. I was inspired by some of the sci-fi speeders that use a big over powered engine on  a relatively small vehicle. The image took around 7 hours to complete.
