Telka knows she shouldn’t have left Squee alone with the Christmas presents… again! ==NOTES== Ever have one of those scenes you just can’t get to render the way you want, no matter what you try? This was one for me. I set up Telka and Squee several weeks ago, on a moonlit path near some trees, but I just couldn’t get the lighting right, esp. for Squee’s materials (which I tweaked endlessly). So I gave up for a while, then tried again, and decided the scene needed a different background. I went through nearly a dozen other options before I settled on the cave. I hadn’t intended this to be a Christmas scene, but given that the holiday is only a few days away, I figured I’d add some decorations to the scene. Then I came up with the idea of making some “messy” wrapping paper for Squee. If I’d planned to do a “messy wrapping paper” scene from the start, I would’ve set up everything differently — so maybe next year! Rendered in December 2019 in Poser Pro 11 Firefly at 3000 x 2000 pixels. ==CREDITS== SCENE CREDITS: Elven Path (cave) by Anima Gemini; Fireplace from Gnome House interior by Smay; Garland from Holiday Nook; Christmas Tree from Redhouse Cottage Christmas Carol; gifts by TruForm, Merlin, and others. String lights, “messy” wrapping paper, open gift boxes, and cave sign by me. CHARACTER CREDITS: Telka figure, hair, short skirt & armbands by Nursoda; skin, eyes, jacket, and long skirt by me.
