Seasons Greetings from Ivy and her hooman, Miss Holly. Don't forget to hang up your stocking and leave some treats for dear old Santy Claws. I have it on good authority he prefers whitefish and tuna sandwiches, a nice big saucer of extra creamy milk and of course, lots of cookies made with 'Nip. ;-) We wish you a Merry Meowmas and a Floofy New Year! *** This is dedicated to moogieinspace, whose lovely work I much admire as it always brightens up my day. And here's to Lady Santa/Mrs./Ms./Mx. Claus ... because why shouldn't they be pretty? ;-) PRODUCTION NOTES: Made with Playground and Clipdrop, postworked all the way to North Pole and beyond with Adobe Photoshop (CS2/Elements) and Corel Paintshop Pro. Got lost several times in way too many layers and reworked it more often than I thought possible without wrecking it altogether but I managed to get it the way I wanted. Hallelujah! CREDITS: Oddly enough, none this time. All borders, brushes and tubes used to make this piece -- including the flower on cloak and the jingle bell on the cat -- are the ones that came with my apps. I even managed to get the lighting, colouring and contrast to look good by way of layer styles alone. Guess maybe after 20 years of fiddling around with computer graphics, I've finally learned a thing or two. Well, it was bound to happen eventually. :-)
