Hello Klassic, I am your Secret Santa! I had a lot of fun making this, I hope you like it.
As you can see from the original scan I've moved the characters around quite a bit. I wanted this to look mystical, I hope I didn't over do it! I painted in the sky with some brushes, then added the moon, stars, and the glowing lights at the bottom. I went over the characters trying to smooth out the scanlines, and also to adjust the highlights and shadows. Then I added a few light gradients in the corners.
I was considering adding some text, but decided against it in the end. If you'd like me to edit that please let me know ^^
I wanted this Christmas gift to look hopeful. I know you've had a tough time with work recently, so my wish for you is that 2015 is a brighter year. Merry Christmas! *hug*
