Artist's Comments

Image finally finalised: Comment as you please!

It's usually 'tis the season to be jolly, but this last Christmas... it did not feel very Christmassy...
It's most likely because of the recent war - it made us simply glad just to be alive!

This is what this image is mostly about. You and your friends just simply together, although quiet, but still rather grateful by just being together, to insure that we shall still grow up more together with time.

I was grateful this Season. Grateful to God, grateful to the fact that I could yet celebrate another Christmas with every head counted I know. Yes, I was so grateful that we lived the trials to celebrate another Christmas together. Usually, that is the least anyone can ask. It is strange how often we forget how precious the simple things are.

Artistically, I kinda worked on the lighting from the fire effects a lot, as you can very well see...
It took me quite some time to figure some things out too...
Luckily, I seem to appear evolving slowly with these type of special effects I'm doing...
I sure do adore the softness of the background and the night scenery. It makes it quite enough not to make this too dramatic.

Now, why the heck did I put that Nintendo DS in there? It's kinda of a wishful thinking thing for me, actually...
