Its only fair to mention the tutorials used too

It feels so peaceful to look at it

Your "Silent night" looks like bright day.

Me: Right clicks on high res picture -> Use Image as Desktop Picture.

Fabulous composition! Wonderful use of tutorials. Looks like something you'd see of the back of a holiday card.

Looks very professional

A definite contender GL!

Although, "Winter Solstice" or "Winter Day" probably would have been a better fitting title (I see where you were coming from Bob) but I was so impressed I barely even noticed so GL!

now I can see this as a poster! Very nicely done

Perfect Christmas entry author...very well done...Instant fav from me

I know that little snow man, I was using that tutorial the other day. You did a very nice job here, love those snow covered hills.

Hi,
The SBS isn't fully complete, I'm pooped right now lol. Basically for the rest is just creating the trees with the pen tool, and lots of different brushes for the snow and star.

Would definitely love comments/critiques, they make me happy

Happy Holidays! fun image

see told u!!!!
Happy Hollidays

Nice image, it certainly has some of the chrismas spirit

This is a really funny Droste ( yup, i learned a new word from jawshoewhah).

I think it would look better with snow flakes on the entire image not just on her, and this would also take eyes off the background.
You know what would be awesome d'apres moi ? To apply the same highlights on the same image and make it look like someone even bigger is holding her.

Thanks guys!

@greymval, I purposely put the snow just on her to make it look like because she shook the globe with her in it, it just snows over her. As for your other idea, my boyfriend and I had that same exact idea, but I didn't want to put too many details into it and make it cluttered. But thanks for the thought!

wow awesome work! great expression!

Thank you . The SBS is done now, phew!

nice job! i like it!

The eyes look very nice

The face expression and especially the eyes is priceless

Thank you so very much for the votes and comments

Congrats

Congratulation...

Congrats!!

Congrats

PULL IT PULL IT!!!!! hehehe

wow really like this humor
but IMO i'd make the pin just like the grenade thingy nice and shiney ( just my opinion)
GL author

You did a good job with the texture of the grenade

The light source is opposite the background, you should flip the grenade to make it consistent...

I LOVE IT!!! GL!

hahahahaha...great job author...top notch...well done

lol, extra points for making me laugh = )

Congrats

Congrats

Congrats...

Congrats!!

Thanks everyone!

Congrats

weird spirit...

Fantastic job ! IMO, you could desaturate the model a little to make it go better with your background. I think she's a little too white, compared to the pale blue of the background. But, that's just IMO. GL !

Edit : Better, GL !

EDIT: Thanks Aqiil, I liked your suggestion so I have changed the colouring a bit.

Nice mood and composition. She will have frostbite though.

@pingenvy ... She is a spirit so I think she will be alright The bird is probably the one with the cold feet, that is why it is standing on her dress

Pretty!! The mood here is soooo nice

Very cool work author...Best of luck

Nice sweet creation.

Congrats Arca....great entry...

Really nice composition. The edge of the (top)roof should either be covered by the snow or masked.

i love the color, sweet, good luck author!

very nice work author...lovely mood...GL
