Good morning everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your holidays so far this year and that all is well. It's pretty cold right now, but the holiday spirit always brings a warm cozy feeling into our hearts. Today I'd like to share an image that hopefully shows that holiday spirit, and keeps you feeling cozy while the winter weather takes it's toll. Again, lot's of Radial Blur Deluxe in this image for that smooth look and feel. I also have been playing around with an effect called Splinter which is under the blurs menu. That's how the nice paint-like feel was put in on the ice blue around the borders of the image. I think that added a nice, natural touch. I hope everyone continues to enjoy your holidays and have a happy new year in a week.

Winter is coming fast, so since it's cold and snowy in some parts of the world, I decided to look online for help as far as inspiration goes. I found a nice winter themed color palette, and started working on a new image. Since during winter the nights are long and the days are short, and people like me wish we could just hibernate inside our warm cozy homes, I called this frosty image Winter Dreams. It has a nice snowflake-like design in the middle made with Radial Extruder, Dents, and Polar Inversion. I would then keep duplicates of the layers, combined them, and continue onward, until the snowflake was a good size. A nice dark background makes it feel like a winter night, while the snow is falling outside, creating some ice underneath while we all sleep in our cozy beds. After that nice thought, I want to go to bed.
