a manger for a king

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Hey there,

Christmas is coming and so I want to create a Christmas card.
But as I started I figured out that I want to use features, that blender doesn’t support (yet?) (e.g. rigid body collision in particle systems). So after some tweaking with the particle-system I want to give you an idea about what I have in mind.

Again* it should stay in black and white; but this time with different shaders, and not just the diffuse-shader. This time, AO is used. The strong black on the crown is because of the black background. When I switch the background to white, the image is overexposed. Are there any ideas how to fix this?

So what do you think about it? Let me know.

Hi there,

I had some time to work on my project. Here is the new outcome:

I decided to give the wood and straw some better material than just a clay-like look. Experimenting with colors I wanted to have an eye catcher: the yellow crown.

What is coming to your mind looking to the image?

I realize this post is 4 years old, but I really like the design! My church has His Throne, A Manger as the theme for our Christmas Concert. Would you mind if I use your image as the background for our invitations?

Hej Linda_Rupert,

sure. As I realized, I’ve never uploaded the finished result, here it is, titled “the King’s birthplace”

As some might be interested in the artwork without a title.

Would like to use this image for the cover of an Advent Devotional that we are using in our church this Christmas. Is that possible?

Hi,
As in the previous posts, our church would love to know if we could please use this image in our Christmas literature this year? We will credit you as you request above. Is that OK with you?

Hi there:

I am looking for a cover photo for our children’s choir song -Away in a Manger. Out of countless option on Google, yours is the only one really caught my eyes and would like to ask for your permission to use it. I most definitely would credit back to site and you - Double theP.
Thx.

Hi again,
We used this pic at our church a couple of years ago for our church Christmas card & publicity, thank you. I have now changed jobs & would like to use it again in a different context (Christmas letter from Bishop to his constituency). Will obviously credit you.
Please could I have permission for this?
Best wishes
Steve Drake (again)
