"Holiday Inspired Render Contest"

This contest is a general render contest. Try putting to use all the things you've learned over the months and create an image of your favorite holiday.


I will be checking in on the WIP THREAD as will the rest of the Community Volunteers to try and help with anything you all may need



For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread : Contest Rules
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP THREAD. People will be popping in to the WIP THREAD to give you some critique and advice on your entry and help along the way.

Please keep all comments on entries etc to the WIP THREAD as well because comments or requests for help/feedback/advice will be removed from the contest thread and merged into the WIP THREAD. This thread is only for posting final contest submissions.

For those veterans of the forums that would like to help, because this contest is designed for the beginner to learn from, we will be randomly selecting posts offering helpful tips and/or critiques to receive a special voucher as well so, whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, there is fun for everyone!

    "And finally please welcome to the stage Santa´s Helpers doing Jingle Bell Rock!"

    Title: Jingle Bell Rock
    Software: Daz Studio 4.7, rendered with 3Delight
    Very minor post-work in Gimp adjusting contrast and saturation a little bit.

    I´ve been wanting to do a render with all my ladies in it for a while and this seemed like a good opportunity! : D : )

    I know they are missing Santa hats, but I don´t have the fur plugin so they wouldn´t look as good inside DS so I didn´t make them : )

    Here it is, my Very scary merry Christmas render.
    Done in Daz studio 4.7
    With minor post work in Adobe photo shop CC
    I made minor adjustments to the contrast and brightness.
    I love both Halloween and Christmas, and came up with this fun mix of the two.
