          Made some last minute adjustments. Which is better, the brighter one or the more textured one? 3ECB9462-F321-4844-9546-0FD0EA912E47.jpeg

            @chrisaakins I'm drawn to the candle that splits the scene in half. Santa looks better. I would see how it looks if you punched up Santa's color a little. Idk, it may be too out of place. Keep going!

              in my opinion its right now a bit messy and your main focal point which seems to be santa is challenged a lot by all the different things on the image. i would push the shadow/lights more, add rimlights and take the enviromental lightcolor into consideration to seperate them from him more.

              here a quick messy rework to give you a hint at which direction i would push it to

                  Ugh I think I went too dark. Maybe this? I think I have been looking at this too long.

                      I think I’m done? I feel like it’s not good enough but I think I need to be done. 3784E492-DADD-43A6-BA50-67D442434051.jpeg
