Description Most of the elements in this one were used in the Megadeth Christmas Card Contest. I've tweaked some things, cleaned up edges, changed some colors, left out a lot of found Christmas images, added a gravestone, a "Liberty Bell" crack, and changed the face of Vic... and kept most of my original concept before the Christmas theme entered into it. The horse and Vic are drawn freehand. The ornaments are found images, but are from statues 5000 years old and the sleigh bells should have worn out and copyright there, plus I'm using them in a new way. It's hard to see the details for a lot of work I've done, at such a low resolution. It's original size is 80MB. I should reduce the size, I suppose to look more like this. It takes a long time to get this up and running. Enjoy the ride!

I was working in Adobe Photoshop 5.5 at a size of 48 inches by 30 inches at 50 pixels per inch, on this one. That can reduce to 300 dpi for 8x5 inches pretty easily for actual size. The saddle does not have that blue cut out look to it... I must've accidently hidden a layer when saving the displayed version here.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. That blue line around the saddle was taken out. Hum... I wonder why that's there...
