The Little Match Girlby ~Phlox73

Contests / 2007 / 2007 Holiday Contests / Tis the Season

This has always been one of my favourite festive stories. I didn't want to add the scenes she sees - the christmas tree etc because I wanted to focus on her face and get the lighting right; and a gaudy tree would distract from the image I thought. So this would be the match she lights before she sees her grandmother. Link for story here: [link] It's quite sad, but bittersweet to me.

Poser 7 and lots of postwork in Photoshop.

Poser - Laura with Mel Blue, MFD and PC texture. KiriTe hair and morphing shawl with my texture. Brush for flames from redheadstock.

Thanks for looking

a beautiful piece of artwork here

Though I have to critisize the flame on the match, it doesn't appear to have as much detail as the rest of the work on your pic

But sides that, awesome work ^^

Thanks - and true, the flame doesnt quite fit because I had to paint it - and painting arealistic flame is really hard. Well, for me. The compromise would have been to have blurred and lost detail on the girl... and I didnt want to.
