I don't know if this fits the criteria, but here's my interpretation:



I made part of this - mainly the frame - a couple years ago. I'm still trying to find the credit for the girl and will post it soon, I hope.

Found her! It was hidden in my archived files: http://blade-of-mako.deviantart.com/art/Subterranea-II-191716929

The stained glass window (what's left of it) can be found here: http://ladyahz.deviantart.com/art/Stained-Glass-Window-2-11531751

Hi Clare
Nice to have you back here in the forum.
Your image is wonderful and very creative work. It certainly fits the criteria. I like it a lot.

A little humor maybe:

Stock images purchased from Dollar Photo. Santa and Rudolph were cut from a complicated background using the pen tool and a layer mask. Flames on the sled were rendered using the PS CC Flame Filter.

They have to have something to pass time when not working flying around distributing toys. Unfortunately smoking is hazardous to health in more than one way!
