Description

Entry for this month's Challenge Arena... the topic is SYMMETRY. I'm entranced by the perfection of snowflakes. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2726312 Hand-drawn in Photoshop, based upon the marvelous photos of real flakes by Bentley and Libbrecht, but not quite real. The textures I create for them aren't quite real, either. ;^) The background for this image is a starfield in the Cirrus Nebula... or it was until I cloned and colored and clouded it. The snowflakes have printed up beautifully! They seem to float on the tiled boxes, but the polar bears wearing snowflake t-shirts are also a hope for sufficient snowfall. http://www.cafepress.com/hauksdottir/4012864
