Description Something for everyone, and Myself in the spirit of My first Christmas on DeviantArt. And what represents this time of the year than the classic Christmas tree.
I was going to make the lights all white for a more formal look but decided that colourful lights look more cheerful and theres bound to be a colour that everybody likes shining between pale fronds of magic. I was even considering making it into a Christmas card even if I have to wait 'till next time.
Drawn in Photoshop alone with a mouse

Merry Christmas to all !

Wow, it got a Daily deviation, thankyou very much, you can see my first DD here [link]

I don't get why they don't...If I find a gallery I like enough to watch, I will always browse all the way back

I came here in early 2006 because a friend showed me this site. Back then, I didn't really take digital art that seriously. I just did quick images that took no more than one afternoon, many of which heavily relied on "presets" I also worked on a tiny resolution, rarely more than 800 pixels wide But coming here made me realise I'd better start improving if I want any kind of recognition for my art, so I now just spend a lot of my free time just drawing stuff on the computer It's a strong hobby for me indeed, and I've never gone any longer than 3 weeks without submitting something

Yeah, me too

Ah, okay That's cool. And thank you to that friend of yours who showed you this site because your art makes many people really happy
Hmm, I don't even remember why I joined dA (dementia strikes again..) But it was in July 2007, I think

Thanks, and Christmas is nice, even though it's in the height of Summer and theres no snow here in most of Australia, but that only means families celebreate Christmas outside on those warm nights

I can't imagine Christmas in summer... Just like I'm sure you can't imagine Christmas in winter.

Damn, you are right...I hope nothing happened to it, being one of my most popular artworks, I bet I would lose much pageviews and potential watchers if this were to dissappear...not to mention that DD

It was a tough choice deciding whether tp hae all lights blue to calm it down, or to have them coloured like in real life. I was happy that the different coloures wern't too much.

Handie In reply to Chromattix [2008-02-19 02:52:49 +0000 UTC]

I think that because they aren't too dark or too bright - but a bit muted it works really well. It has a real soft feel. I would really like it all in blue/silver/white though too!

Hah, to me, color is classic cause we've always had colored lights :]
Glad you went with the colored ones, it does brighten it up, and I think seeing as it's a white tree to begin with, the white lights would've faded into the tree.
I love the lights' reflections onto the snow, it looks really cool. Nice job overall, congrats on DD

I was almost going to have either white or blue lights for a monochrome and wintery look...But I'm glad I did them colourful as most say that it is better with coloured lights ( and almost all trees have colourful ones anyway )

BenihimeTheCat In reply to Chromattix [2007-12-27 02:10:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Blue might've been cool, literally ;]
But still glad you chose colored.

This is a gorgeous tree...and I normally don;t care for frosted trees. I am glad you decided to go with the color...white would have been too much. The color is fantastic. I love the color reflecting off of the branches.

Chromattix In reply to hyenacub [2007-12-26 10:08:31 +0000 UTC]

White was my original intention, as I have seen the same spiral-trees in white before ( thats where I got the idea from ) but the dark backround made me think blue would have blended in better.
