Warmth of the Holidays

As she sits in front of the warm and cozy fireplace, she watches as the decorative candle flickers in the night.

Notes

This is redux of an artwork I created in, I think, 2018. I’ve been wanting to recreate this for a while now, and I’m glad I finally got around to it. All of the lighting in this scene is from emissive shaders on props; no traditional lights are in the scene. The amount of emission props led to many problems with figuring out the proper render settings. On the bright side, I learned a lot of new things about render settings so…. worth it! I’m happy with how this one turned out.
