Description
Some people, through unhappy life experience or just bad temperments, make their holdiays a lonely time. This is Scrooge. He has been ungiving and cruel to his fellow man. This is what Christmas day is for him...a lone in front of the fireplace left to contemplate his life.
I made this for a holiday contest and thought "gee, how cheery is this for a greeting", lol.
Liked it well enough to share though. Hope everyone keeps a smile on their face and a warm hand extended for their neighbor year round.

Your pieces always have a wonderful "Realism" to them, even the fantasy stuff, a true believability! This is right out of the classics! And so wonderfully lit!!! brilliant! Happy holidays to you and yours!!!

I am so impressed by your attention to detail. Right down to the cat and mouse! A mixture of emotions in the face of one so alone.

Charles Dickens come to life. Bravo.

Well, I must say is definitely a dramatic image and conveys a deep sense of hidden bitterness and regret. As mentioned above, the level of detail you obtain is simply remarkable and I was looking at this image for quite some time taking it all in! Christmas can be a sad time of the year for many, especially for those who have lost loved ones in their thoughts during this season. In a lot of ways to me, this captures that feeling very well. Excellent work!!

Hey Buzz, your wife sent it to me and asked if I could airbrush a smile on it, rotfl!!! Sorry, just noticed the candlestick, that's by DaRat.

Wonderful capture of Scrooge. And, you're right.. but for one thing, it's more than some people.. there are many people that feel or are like that both at holiday and year round. Life's too short, enjoy it while you're here. Excellent image and V

I should have known, Scrooge is a "cat person!" :-) I love the fine way you've composed the holiday themed image ... nice atmospheric image and so well composed and lighted. V

Of course Gene! Cats don't need as much attention as dogs and Scrooge has no time for anyone or anything. He can't even be bothered to feed the poor thing. You can't see from the angle but I made the cat very thin :)

lemonjim
you've really captured it so well. Something to avoid, it could be any of us, at least he's got a warm fire and cat - sad that some don't have that, ahem, those that he's mistreated. the look on his face is telling!
aliensprog
Great image. Great mood. Are we going to see a pic where Scrooge is visited and has a change of heart? Nicely done.

Bernado
Fantastic atmosphere and lighting. I don't think it could work as a Christmas greeting card. 8-) But he's not alone, he has his cat with him and I'm sure it gives him hours of joy. 8-) Great character, pose and expression. Excellent mood. Did you win? Vote.
