nice entry... gl

There's a lot to like here, but I'm not sure it comes together as a whole. The problem may be the ribbon which is neither a drawing [like the rest of the image] nor realistic. The knot should have edges, the interior of the loops should be darker, and the ribbon should cast more realistic shadows.

Maybe give the wraping a texture?

The polka dots make me ill...

Sorry after uploading I notice the names are blur ...working on it now..

A very nice thought Good luck!

i have seen this exact tutorial a few days ago.

nice idea...gl

my name isnt there hehe, just kidding ;D

these name i listed are ppl i see alot in the chatroom :P

yey i'm there, right between the balls. he he he great colors. the sparkles needs more contrast tho.

Merry Christmas!

Cute and nice image, probably add some shadows underneath the gifts and tree. Good luck

happy snowperson... nice work. agree on the shadows under presents.

Thanks for the comments. I've now added shadows to the presents and given the snowman a hat.

Sources will follow soon

if the presents is going to fly ai think i would give them a bit motion blur to make it look realistic. either nice. tho the kid is veeeeeeeery huuge :o

I really like the concept! It's the spirit of Christmas! I love the way the pic of Santa is holding 'the magic'. The darkening makes the image more unique. I do agree with maXed about the blur, but also understand it's not supposed to convey the gifts actually 'flying'...maybe make the shadows from the gifts less circular and more oblong. I would suggest also to make the far left red gift's shadow a bit darker since it's closer to the ground...and make the other shadows varying lighter opacities. Just a thought...nice work and real cute kid. Sorry for such a long comment...

No problem, thx for the advice, i'll try to fix it.

Looks cool to me I guess you made the changes

Nice image mate, Red parcell looks like a huge 4 pin atx connector thought LOL

Nice idea. Some of the balls have a black border. They would look more real if that was not so.

Nice idea,its too bad why u dont have some nice Christmas background

lovely festive image. next time you may like to look at the light sources on the decorations. some have a brigh shine where others nearby have no light shimmer at all , the light source is not consistant. still a very fun and neat image. GL

lack of background, good idea
