Dreamworks Fan Art Entry

 The thumbnail concept I started with. The fireplace is in one of the previews of the film Rise of the Guardians, but still took some license.

 Roughed the background in with Sketchup.  Even though I had a pretty clear picture of what I wanted, I still messed around with character placement throughout, especially Sandman.

 Flipped it but left my light source references on the left so when I flipped it again a bunch of my shading was wrong. UHGGG.

Flip back.  Starting to clean up nicely.  Still hate Sandy in front, What do I do with him?

The final rendition. Overall happy with how it turned out.   Ended up with three lights sources, two overhead and the fire behind. Had a lot of fun.
