When I was growing up, one of my most important holiday dreams was to find someone to share my secrets with, play with, and just relax with. Good friends are very difficult to find and very valuable. Therefore, I wanted to dedicate this holiday dream image to best friends everywhere. Here is a quote from Winnie the Pooh that I absolutely love - "If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you." The foreground elements of this image are from photographs of my dogs. The background image is made up of 2d-lettering by Moonbeam, 2d-paper by Atenais, and the Christmas holly was rendered in Carrara. , I used Photoshop for composition, as well as brightness and contrast adjustments. I tried many different pictures of my dogs, and several different compositions, before settling on this one. Total time is about 1 day. Hope you enjoy it, and have a Happy Holiday with good friends!
