      @kazgirl Sweet image! I really like how the are so polar bears are full of life. And they feel really soft and fluffy.

            So good! I'll second (third? fourth?) the idea of adding a shadow under the bears and magical "dust".

            I really like how the snow shows a path where the elf was dragged.

              I agree with all the comments already posted, this is a stunning piece, great work! I love the colour choices and the way you've got all the warm/cool shades incorporated in the snow, and poor Rudolph in the stable. Really beautiful!

                I agree about adding some magic to the floating bears, but this is just so stellar. I can see this image in a bookstore already. 🙂

                    @kazgirl The magic really completes this piece for me. It really adds to the wonderment and the expressions on the bears. I love the tension in the lines as Santa and the elf hold them from floating away. Really fun piece!

                        Really beautiful piece, the sparkles complete it and really help to explain the floating bears. Wonderful!

                            This is absolutely beautiful @kazgirl wow you'll definitely be one of the winners!

                            I love the magical stardust addition - I wonder if it's a bit too much on the warm side though? I find the yellow a bit distracting. For me, I'd love to see it be more on the white/cool side.

                                  You should be very proud of this piece @kazgirl because it is terrific. Your final additions really pulled it all together. Its a winner!
