Sadly, an unfinished scene :( and ugly stupid snow particles. As I spent everyday since the contest was posted learning around about cycles materials nodes and textures in general; since this is all new to me. I am still a beginner learning so don't be too harsh :D. Practice will make perfect.
90% textures used are Blender's procedural texture algorithms. Except for the treeman's arms which I cheaply mapped to a texture from www.cgtextures.com
Things I left out scarf, few trees, the snowman with his tongue out, etc. I really want that Citizen membership so I had to submit something
