Description
At first I thought I was too tired to upload this, but a shower sure did wake me up. XDAnyways this is my Christmas card I'm sending out to people this year! It's all in black and white because none of my printers print colour at all. However I did the eye green for DeviantART coz it looked cool XD
Originally I was gonna add blood for the DeviantART version but decided it was too cliche so I stuck with the simplistic non-morbidness of it instead. It's actually very very morbid - but hey! My relatives don't know about Kip and fallen angels and murder... No big deal, right?
Adobe Photoshop Cs2.
Uh... like four hours? I'm not sure.

EDIT: I forgot! The other grungy tree shadow - the one that looks like it has a noise filter on it and doesn't follow the pattern of the tree above it - was used from a picture I found XD
