Just noticed that I never shared my Christmas scene I did last month here, so here it is! I had a lot of fun this year, particularly with these clay style images, which helped reconnect me to the fun of modeling and showed me that I could do some characters, even with basic shapes. In this next year, I plan to push my skills further, but these clay characters were so much fun, and I plan to trying to keep that spirit of fun that I had creating them in the ones I create in the future!
The reindeer in the background are really just silhouettes. The sleigh is still a relatively simple model, though it does have some depth to it, just to get the right shapes in.
I kept things really simple, even in the texturing. I wanted to get a bit more variation on the trees, but couldn't quite figure out how to choose between more than 2 maps.
