Fathom Christmas

Pencils = Mike Dibalfo
Inks = Tom Schloendorn

(original published colours were done by Peter Steigerfeld)

I've only ever done ONE christmas themed picture before now and that was the very first thing I ever coloured.. ever! 13 years ago. It's about time I did another one, so when I saw Tom's inks on this one, I just grabbed it!

I got rid of the big moon in the inks because I wanted to try out the aurora stuff, which is done with "Flame Painter" (http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame/) and then run through various filters and layer modes. I added the Santa and sleigh from a clipart found on google images.

cheers
Sean

Great color work, as usual. Your backgrounds lately have been fantastic.
