The inspiration was that the excitement as a kid at christmas was getting the things you really wished for, and you always thought that this year everyone else would get their wishes come through except you. The scene was built and rendered in DAZ Studio 3. T-Shirt print made in OmniGraffle and added used LIE in DS. Post work (cutting and gamma adjustment) was made using GraphicConverter. It took about 3 days to get it right.
