This was WHAT I wanted to send out to everyone as a Christmas card- if only I didn't get completly fed up with colouring it cause I didn't have a suitable background to put it on. Carefull consideration got me taking a photo of a fake Xmas tree and slapping it into the back ground (I'm so cheap), but fitting her onto the tree was the difficult one. She's... digitally drawn with linearts and all.
That's when the spirit of Christmas put a big circle around the chrome function
Oh good lord. I HATED this function till now. it's PERFECT for the glass effect for the glassy decorations!!! AHHHH!!!! *dies*
Anyways- this is PURELY a Kiwi Christmas card *NZ Pride*
Pohutakawa is New Zealand's Christmas tree cause it always flowers in December, ready for Christmas, and it has that gorgeous red and green colour Christmas is so famous for ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_smile.gif)
I didn't want to go for the American snow theme cause well- I'm not American and frankly, I LOVE Christmas on the beach ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_wink.gif)
I was tossing up a beach or something pic, then I thought- Pohutakawa fairy. A fairy dressed as our tree. I love how it turned out- there is alot of mistakes, but I'm definetly not tackling them tonight. Too tired, so crit away if you want. I'll print them this weekend when I have some nice paper to print on
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_hug.gif)

Nice digital art, from the anatomy to the contrast ^_^
Hehe, maybe you could've raised the contrast on the picture of the tree lol

Ooh. :o How lovely. It's so shiny, especially her wings. And her expression is so peaceful. *scuker for Christmas things, even though it's summer.*

You've done a gorgeous job of this, Soozie! I love the effect - it looks almost like a photo of a real ornament.
Excellent job. I know the trees you speak of now - they are exceptionally beautiful!
I'm going to be spending my Christmas this year in an ice world...

'Normal' is merely a polite term for boring.

I LOVE the design of her dress and the way you used thr Chrissmassy colors! It's very original^^ She reminds me of some kind of flower that grows here (don't remember the name). I actually like the background, and the whole piece alot.^^ Don't see much to roast. A new fave![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_grin.gif)

Oh, how pretty! I love her hair the most (>< I'm such a girl like that). The combination of red and green in her hair is really neat. I also really like the textures on her. Very cool.
