    Wonder if this could be manufactured and sold:

    Frau Holle's snowglobe

    Credits: Nouschka, Dryjack, Flink... The lady was made using the Edie 8 bundle

    @ Henryhor: Nice that you like the little chapel.

    Frau Holle is very successful. For us, she seems to be in the holidays right now. No snow, only rain.

    @ Chohole: WOW! This is really a wonderful scene. There  Frau Holle was obviously still busy.

    @ Chohole: looks very cold and wintry. Seems global warming didn't reach the Bryce universe.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,642

    Henryhor - cool idea and very nicely done.

    Chohole - very nice winter scene with the frozen pond.

    Not been around for a while again... Sorry about that... But great entries so far from everyone.

    It seems me and Chohole are thinking along similar lines with a pagan theme.

    My first entry:

    Solstice Full Moon

    Henryhor - lovely idea and very nicely done.

    Chohole - wow, very nice winter scene, love the snow.

    Dave - a superb entry

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,642

    Dave - beautifully done.

    Chohole: I agree with the others: the blue version is much better (more winter). Moonrise on Solstice Eve is a very nice render. Great atmosphere.

    Henryhor: Glad you found the bear. Of course it was more or less hidden for a purpose (to have people take another look). Love your Frau Holle’s snowglobe; very original and well done.

    Horo, adbc, mtnmen, drachenlords: Thank you.

    Mermaid: Thanks. There really is a bear. Look closely, because it is hiding behind a tree.

    Dave Savage: Another Solstice render. Very nice view and good idea to use the silhouettes.

    Mtnmen: Bob Cratchet: wonderful render, very nice details. Indeed, the light is a bit white. And you may choose a more wooden texture for the cabinet, perhaps? This one is a bit flat.

    Thanks all very much for the positive words about my 'Winter by Van Gogh'. I was not completely happy with it and made a new version. I think the colour in this one is a bit better, though the light is a bit too harsh on the snow at the left side. But the white parts just above the hills, I like very much. In this version, the bear has a non-fluffy skin, because the fluffy did not look very good under this light.

    Hansmar - now the bear is more obvious. I compared the two versions closely and I also prefer this second one though I liked the blue on the rocks at left.

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,929

    Horo: maybe I'll try to come to a compromise between the two. More blue on the snow, but sky as is now.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Henryhor : original idea, well done.

    Chohole : beautiful winter scene.

    Dave Savage : Excellent render.

    Hansmar : I prefer the second render.

  • drachenlordsdrachenlords Posts: 821

    @ Dave Savage: Beautiful picture and very nice light.

    @ Hansmar: Both pictures have something. The first one had more Van Gogh styles, the second one more dynamic.

  • HenryhorHenryhor Posts: 258

    Thanks for the kind comments.

    @ Dave Savage: Very nicely done. Majestic animal. Hope no sacrifice is planned in the pagan theme.

    @ Hansmar: I think I prefer the first. Like drachenlords says, more vangogish.

    Drachenlords, Henryhor: Thanks. I agree with the higher level of Van Goghishness of the first one. But I like the colours and movement in the sky better in the second one. However. I did create one with a bit more blue in the snow, because that was too white. I tried playing with the frequency of the texture to get slightly bigger streaks of light, but that did not lead to better results.

    Therefore, I think this should be the final version.

    @davesavage... Solstice Full Moon...just elegant
    Hansmar... thanks for the comments and suggestions... As is often the case... again you hit the nail on the head... the desk is flat... I'll work on that as well as the lighting  BTW... I like the second edition of your image and yes I see the bear now... very nice

    mtnmen: Thanks and welcome.

    ed3D: The gift is a good title. I like the work, but it is missing some shadows. Therefore, the gift appears to be 'not grounded'. if you know what I mean. Also, the colours are quite pale in an already pale surrounding. That also makes it look a bit lost compared to the other parts of the scene.

  • ed3Ded3D Posts: 2,187

    Hansmar :  _yeah, it is     _Kind of first version    -Thanks

  • HenryhorHenryhor Posts: 258

    @ ed3D: intriguing. Reminds me of the 2001 monolith

  • mtnmenmtnmen Posts: 444

    @ed3d... The  Gift... I think I agree with Hansmar idea of a bit darker for the gift to make it stand out a bit ..

    Okay here is my entry with some changes to the lighting (amber) and some texture changes to the desk as well as a couple of added items.. Better I think

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,642

    ed3D - The Gift needs yet a bit of tweaking but it's a good start.

    mtnmen - improved with the yellowish light.

    It would be better if the candle will have paraffin or stearin material.

    Thank you all for the nice comments.   I haven't had much time to make comments,  busy elsewhere.

    Again this is not an entry, although it is a Bryce render with a tad of postwarok

    @ ed3D: It's a good start, but I also miss the shadows in the scene.

    @ mtnmen: The warmer light enhances the scene yet. Very well.

    @ Chohole: Nice Christmas greeting. Also from me for all a merry Christmas.
