i have started this project with this image .... was trying to archive snow as much real as possible, was just gathering all snowy materials and object and planned to merge it all on later stage
Added sign board and path ,
detailing mountains.......
making a road with lots of rocks and snow around it
added santa , and changed trees and added road in to the scene
tried to create night scene , still without any concept ....
After a lots of fail try i finally come up with this concept but still many people dint get it through
experimenting with lighting and added fur in santa's cloth , textured sledge , tried to create very lovely morning scene , but still looking bit messy messy
aah changed every lights and come up with this image ... but still distracting , DOF had lots of probs
but finally after a lots of effort. it all ended up with this two images ... ......hope you like it ...
